The processing of medical parts has high requirements on workpiece materials, processing accuracy, and surface finish, which requires high reliability of the processing system. Therefore, extremely high requirements are placed on machine tools, fixtures, cutting tools, and CAM software. The workpieces are usually processed on advanced medical component processing equipment such as Swiss automatic lathes, multi-spindle machines and rotary tables.
Characteristics of medical parts processing
1. High precision
The precision requirements of medical devices are very high, and the machining precision of parts must reach at least 0.005mm. This requires high-precision processing equipment and processes.
2. The efficiency of cnc processing requires high quality
The quality of medical devices is a matter of life and death, so the quality of medical components must be stable and reliable, and the materials must also comply with various regulations and standards of the medical industry. Therefore, the processing of medical parts requires strict control of every detail from material selection to processing.
3. Ultra-fine processing
Since the size of medical components is usually small, sometimes only a few millimeters or even smaller, it is necessary to use ultra-fine processing technologies, such as micro-electromechanical processing, laser processing, etc.
4. Special surface treatment
Parts of some medical devices require special surface treatment, such as bioactive surfaces, optical surfaces, etc.
