板金加工

Sheet Metal

Sheet metal processing technology is utilized in the manufacturing of medical devices to produce metal parts that require strength and precision. They are fabricated by processing lightweight and high-strength materials such as stainless steel and aluminum. Through processes such as cutting, bending, and welding, they are finished into shapes that are both functional and safe, which is beneficial in terms of hygiene and durability.

切削加工

Machining

Cutting is an indispensable processing method for high-precision and strong metal and resin parts in the manufacture of medical devices. It is mainly used in the manufacture of surgical instruments, dental parts, and precision parts inside medical devices such as MRIs and endoscopes. Cutting has the advantage that it can process a wide range of materials such as aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, and POM, as well as accommodate minute shapes and tight tolerances on machining centers and lathes. As a result, it is widely used as a highly reliable processing technology in the medical field, where high safety and durability are required.

射出成形

Injection Molding

Injection molding is widely used in the manufacture of prosthetics and medical devices to mass produce lightweight, high-precision plastic parts. Typical examples of parts produced by injection molding include outer covers for prosthetic hands and feet, joint parts for orthotic devices, housings for syringes and aspirators, connectors for intravenous infusions, and cases for diagnostic equipment. Injection molding can also be used to manufacture hygienic and safe products by using engineering plastics with excellent chemical resistance, heat resistance, and biocompatibility. Besides, the reduction in the number of parts by integrated molding leads to improved production efficiency and cost reduction.

冷間加工

Cold Forming Process

Cold working is a processing method that plasticizes materials below their recrystallization temperature, and is widely used in the manufacture of medical parts. The medical field requires precise and safe parts that conform to the patient's body. Cold working is an effective means of meeting these requirements. Cold working is widely used in the manufacture of artificial joint parts, dental implants, and surgical instruments. Cold working is important in increasing the strength of medical and prosthetic components because work hardening increases the strength of the material. At the same time, it also provides various advantages, such as precise dimensional accuracy, making it suitable for manufacturing parts with complex shapes, and smooth surfaces, improving hygiene and patient comfort in medical device parts. Furthermore, it can also be used to process materials with high biocompatibility (compatible for use in the human body), such as titanium and stainless steel.

  • Welding Process

  • Vacuum molding

  • Grinding process

We offer a diverse range of technologies, including

Examples of materials utilized in the medical industry

  • Titanium Alloys

    Titanium alloy is a very important material in the manufacture of medical devices. Its greatest feature is that it is lightweight yet strong and has excellent durability to withstand long-term use. It is also highly "biocompatible," meaning that it is unlikely to cause rejection when used inside the body, and is widely used in implant products such as artificial joints and bone-jointed plates. Because of its high resistance to corrosion and wear, it is also widely used in the joints and supports of prosthetic hands and feet, enabling stable long-term use while reducing the burden on the wearer.

  • CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic)

    CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) is a material with features of light weight and high strength, and is suitable for manufacturing parts for medical equipment. Specifically, CFRP is widely used in orthopedic braces and rehabilitation equipment, greatly reducing the burden on the wearer. It also has excellent corrosion and chemical resistance, and is highly reliable in the medical field. Another advantage is the high degree of freedom in design, which allows for flexible adaptation to individual needs and complex shapes.

  • engineering plastics

    Engineering plastics are high-performance resins with excellent heat, wear, and chemical resistance, and are widely used in medical device components. Typical materials include POM (polyacetal), PEEK, and PA (nylon), which are characterized by their light weight yet high strength. For this reason, they are utilized for internal parts of dental equipment and inspection devices. They are also easier to process than metals and have superior quietness and sliding properties, contributing to improved comfort for the wearer.

In addition to this, we can handle all kinds of materials.

Key to Successful Manufacturing of Components for Medical Devices

High-precision machining and dimensional control

High-precision machining and strict dimensional control are essential in the manufacture of parts for medical devices. Dental instruments, surgical instruments, and other products are often used in situations where micron-level precision is required, which directly affects fit, operating performance, and safety. Therefore, it is necessary to use high-precision processing machines such as machining centers and NC lathes, and to have a system to strictly check dimensions using CMMs and image inspection equipment.

Quality control system to ensure hygiene and safety

In the manufacture of medical device components, a manufacturing system based on strict quality control standards is required to ensure hygiene and safety. Specifically, it will be necessary to implement a quality management system for medical devices, such as ISO13485, to ensure thorough hygiene control throughout the entire process from design to manufacturing and shipping. In addition, materials used should be selected for biocompatibility and chemical resistance, and after manufacturing, assembly and inspection should be conducted in clean rooms or sterilization-compatible areas. It is also important to ensure traceability for early detection of defects.

Highly customizable to the patient's needs

In the manufacture of medical device components, customization is required to match the physique and symptoms of each individual user. In particular, orthotic devices require millimeter-by-millimeter adjustments because the fit and range of motion directly affect the user's life. In recent years, the use of 3D scanning, CAD design, and 3D printing technology has made it possible to produce precise custom-made components with short delivery times. By providing products optimized for individual needs, it will be possible to create high-quality orthotics that improve comfort and functionality and withstand long-term use.
