The characteristics and difficulties of medical device parts processing

In the new wave of world economic integration, it is a general trend that the global manufacturing industry is accelerating the transfer to mainland China, and China will gradually develop into a world-class manufacturing base. The medical device industry is showing a dynamic growth trend. Medical device manufacturers are also continuing to look for better turning centers and tools to enhance their competitive advantages. This has also become an important channel for the growth of the tool industry. Difficult-to-machine materials, complex workpiece shapes, and frequent small batch production place high demands on the cutting tools used for processing professional medical devices. Such as transplantation products and artificial limbs, play a very important role in successful surgical operations, and can help surgeons achieve the best medical results. The knives used to process medical devices largely determine the quality of medical devices. The use of cutting tools in the manufacture of medical devices is diverse and extensive. It can process relatively simple workpieces such as the shell of large equipment (such as computer tomography cameras), and for the production of transplanted products or workpieces for repairing skull bones or treating fractures. More challenging. Tolerances in the micrometer range are common in the medical industry, and choosing the right tool requires keen insight and rich experience. On the one hand, even when drilling small holes, it is necessary to use lubricants to reduce friction, reliably dissipate heat and handle fine iron filings at the blade; on the other hand, when producing cutting-edge medical devices (without burrs), sharpness and smooth operation are required. Cutting tools to obtain a high-quality surface. Commonly used cutting tools are high-speed steel drill bits or solid carbide drill bits. Like companies in other industries, companies in the medical industry are also facing increasing cost pressures. If a company wants to stand on the international stage with fierce competition, it must produce high-quality products at low cost. For transplanted products (generally made of high-alloy steel, titanium or titanium alloys), special materials and complex workpiece geometries pose great challenges to the accuracy of the products. For some processing, three standard tools may be needed before, but now only one composite tool is needed, replacing the previous three processes with one process, thus saving time and cost.
