Medical Device Parts CNC Machining Manufacturer

Medical devices products meanings that most of our products has special standard and machining process, and quality control. In fact, the key points of medical devices parts machining are material properties, processing accuracy, process complexity and quality inspection, such as the titanium alloy, PEEK, 316L materials and more. Today, we will take this article for sharing for our customers in medical industry.

The new products is one actuating device includes gear, bearings, drive devices. It providing mechanical support and motion transmission functions. It is used in surgical instruments and equipment.

    Project Description

    ● Medical Actuating Device

    ● Material: Titanium alloy, PEEK and 316L stainless steel.

    ● Finishing: Polishing and sonicleaning.

    ● Parts machining process: CNC milling and turning, EDM, Surface finishing.

    ● Parts size: Medical Actuating Device around 320*280*165 mm.

    Production Capability For Medical Devices Products CNC Machined Manufacturer

    ● Own 5 sets 5-axis CNC machining centers and 8 3+2 axis CNC milling machines.

    ● 2 sets slow-EDM, 2 sets larger Lathe, and 2 sets grinding machines under 0.005mm tight tolerance.

    ● The secondary finishing including anodizing, power coating, chemical nickel-plating and more.

    What’s The Project Challenge For The Projects?

    The main challenge is the product feature is very complex, we need to machining these surface one by one, and all of parts need be assembled and make function purposed. The materials itself is very hardness, and it is not easy to machining. The single part for special dimensions tolerance is under 0.01mm, ask all of parts can be assembled and functional.

    Our engineering team have to use extended cutting tool, and 5 axis and 3+2 axis CNC milling machine to complete them. The parts include multi-angle holes (the 25 holes of the bone plate are distributed in 10 different angles), microchannels (with a width of only 100 μm), and thin-walled structures (with a thickness of 0.55 mm). Also, there are five holes are undercut, and a series of grooves along the tapered these holes are accurate hole under concentricity and tolerance control.

    Deformation Control
    Thin-walled parts are prone to deformation due to cutting force or clamping force. Therefore, flexible vise clamping and staged processing (coarse/semi-finish/finish machining carried out in stages) are required. 410. For example, in the processing of aluminum alloy medical accessories, process optimization is needed to reduce the deformation rate from 5% to below 0.3%.

    Quality traceability system
    It is necessary to achieve full lifecycle data recording, including material batches, processing parameters, test reports, etc., to meet medical standards such as ISO 13485。

    Cost and Efficiency Balance
    Customers often demand competitive prices including material, and machining process, Creatingtec offers these suggests to customers for review. For example, high-precision processing takes a long time (such as the total processing time for bone plates reaching 1 hour and 11 minutes), and efficiency needs to be improved through automation (such as the double workstation system of Beijing Jingzhuo).

    How To Understand and Make The Parts? 

    First, we conducted a careful design overview to understand the parts and suggest improvements when possible. Then, we applied Positive Material Identification (PMI) to test the composition of the alloys used in the tools and parts.

    Fabricating The Prototypes

    The first run of prototypes was CNC machined from aluminum in a 5-step process:

    1. CNC Program the Machines

    2. Engineering Review and Improve the Codes

    3. Mount the Workpiece on the Machine and Adjust the Setup

    4. Monitor Production and All Functions

    5. Do adjustment the Cutting Programs When Necessary

    High precision CNC milling and turning machining

    CNC milling process: the mainstream technology achieves complex surface shaping through 5-axis linkage for the curved surface finishing of the actuating support requires a 3mm tool.

    Mirror EDM process

    Using the mirror EDM process for these minor undercut feature, as the CNC milling can’t machining these area.

    Polishing process

    Will make the surface polishing process to meet the whole product assembly and appearance needs.

    Surface finishing after machining

    Titanium alloy, stainless steel parts we need to do sonicleaning.

    How To Develop and Manufacturing CNC Machining Medical Device Parts

    Most of the medical device parts’ CNC machined machining included rapid prototype and volume production when we make the 2-4 prototype, we have to consider using 5 axis-CNC machines and turn-mill combination to manufacture them, then have after machining finishing process.

    So the whole manufacturing cost is very higher.

    Medical device parts need us to further consider the whole process from single part machining, surface coating, and assembly, this is one very complex process.

    We are dedicated to rapid prototype and low volume production for medical device parts and provide fast feedback and delivery to you with high quality. We want to make whole industry medical device parts CNC machined for you, provide you customized parts whatever you will need 1 pc or more 100pc, we can meet your requirement.

    When you have these medical device parts CNC machined inquire or customized parts, you can send out inquire to below email address so our engineer team will discuss with you on each of production details, whatever you will ask 1pc or more 100pc, we will make the best support to you based on cost-effective, tell us your requirement or expectation, our team will make it for you. You can start a new project now.

    What’s The Surface Finishing Can Be Done After CNC Machining?

    After most of the medical device parts are CNC machined, we will provide good finishing like polishing, anodizing, powder coating, and silk-screen and more.

    Actuating Device parts, after CNC milling, turning and EDM process, we will have polishing and sonicleaning process to make it to aesthetic.

    Customer’s Feedback For Our Automotive Parts CNC Machined

    We will ship these parts to our customers for assembling and testing out and will follow each of the details for parts function and a testing requirement to meet customers, then get us timely comments for new parts improvement, will do next production more perfect and smooth. we aim to help our customers to do the best effective products, good quality, and controlled cost as well as delivery time on time.
