Combining attributes of Swiss Screw Machining and Centerless Grinding, Swiss-Type Centerless Grinding has become a viable solution for manufacturing problems presented by small, complex parts, Guidewires, K-Wires and difficult to machine materials. This revolutionary technology is enabling production breakthroughs on many challenging medical manufacturing applications.
Special features and capabilities include:
K-Wires
Guidewires
Multiple part features in one operation – diameters, tapers, radii, flats, threads... no part configuration is too complex! Small, intricate parts dropped "complete" Diameter tolerances to +/-.00005” (1.2 micron) Concentricity of ground features to sub-micron tolerances Diameters as small as .002” (50 micron) Finishes to 4 Ra (.1 micron) Grinding of difficult or “un-machineable” materials; Tungsten, Titanium, Nitinol, Molybdenum, Exotic Alloys (Inconel, Hastelloy…), Fiberglass...If you have been told it "can’t be done" give us a try - we’ll find a way to do it!
