Precision Machining

Heraeus Medical Components’ full range of machining includes:

• Prototype development
• Medical grade metals and polymers
• Design for manufacturing
• Highly repeatable processes
• Precision cleaning and finishing
• In-house fixturing

Our precision machining operation features industry leading Swiss equipment to produce your products offering short run prototyping, long run production and specialized fixing.

We offer:

Specialized and custom micro parts upon customer request

Machining capabilities up to 13-axis

Turning diameters of less than 0.004 inch

Tolerances of plus-or-minus 0.0001 inch

The ability to machine precious metals, medical-grade alloys and plastics

The ability to handle medical-grade alloys and plastics

Machined micro surface finishes exceeding 10 rms.

We also provide precision CNC milling and turning of stainless steels, medical alloys, and plastics:
Turning diameters are down to 0.010 inch
Tolerances of plus-or-minus 0.0002 inch
Hole diameters are down to 0.008 inch

We provide EDM services for cutting small or unusual angles, intricate contours, or cavities in pre-hardened conductive materials. Our EDM equipment and expertise allows us to machine metals and shapes that would be impossible to machine with traditional techniques. We offer:

Full taper capabilities

Use of wire with diameters down to .004 inch (0.10mm)
Drill holes of 0.004 inch (0.10mm) diameter

Our laser machining centers cut tubes and flat substrates down to wall thicknesses as little as 0.0004” (10 µm). So we can create complex structures and minimal cutting width very efficiently with high productivity.
