Trends and challenges of CNC precision machining in the medical industry

Precision machining technology is an advanced manufacturing technology developed to adapt to modern high-tech. In recent years, with the deepening of my country's intelligent manufacturing, precision processing technology has made more and more contributions to the medical device industry. CNC machining is a widely used process in healthcare, where it is often used to manufacture implants, medical devices and surgical tools such as scalpels. Tight tolerances and quick turnaround are especially important for projects such as titanium hip implants.

Most medical parts have the characteristics of small batches, multiple varieties, irregular shapes, hard materials, and high surface finish. These parts need to undergo rigorous milling, turning and drilling, such as orthopedic implants (mostly titanium alloy or stainless steel, including bone plates, artificial joints, bone nails, etc.), dental implants, cardiac pacemaker parts, etc. . Medical equipment is known for its complex structure, high precision and reliability requirements. Medical device parts have higher requirements for workpiece materials, processing accuracy, and surface finish, which also means that precision processing capabilities need to be raised to a higher level. Precision machining forms these materials into complex shapes and sizes for specific medical applications. Some of these parts are already embedded in patients, so they need to meet tight tolerances and have very smooth surfaces to eliminate burrs or streaks.

With the development of the medical device industry, there will be more types of medical devices, more complex structures, and higher precision requirements. In order to meet the needs of multi-variety and high-precision medical devices, high-speed, high-precision, intelligent, compound, and environmentally-friendly precision machining has gradually become the main development direction of CNC processing for medical devices. That is to say, extremely high requirements are put forward for machine tools, fixtures, cutting tools, CAM software, testing equipment, engineering capabilities, etc. The demand of medical device manufacturers for high-quality parts processing suppliers will undoubtedly promote the progress of processing technology,

Precision machining has contributed greatly to the advancement of the medical industry and will continue to be an integral part of future advancements. In particular, five-axis CNC machining is often used in stainless steel medical parts. Due to its good biocompatibility, good mechanical properties, excellent resistance to body fluid corrosion, and good processing formability, it has become a medical implant widely used in clinical practice. input materials and medical tool materials. Moreover, it can be seen in other fields as well.

      Since its establishment, the company has paid great attention to the improvement of its own quality. In recent years, the company has made breakthroughs in market access and qualification certification. Obtained GB/T19001-2015 quality management system certification, etc. And a number of patents such as utility models and designs.
