When speed and precision are a priority, the company’s leading edge laser systems are the ideal solution. With the Swisstec laser range, dross free cuts with less than 8 μm kerf width can be achieved with a very high contour accuracy of less than ±1 μm. Average cutting speeds for 8 mm long coronary stents are typically less than 20 seconds.
With decades of industry knowledge and expertise, Swisstec provides the laser technology necessary to manufacture a variety of medical components. It helps its customers choose the most suitable laser solution for their specific medical application requirements.
Laser machined Nitinol, stainless alloys, titanium and titanium alloys, cobalt chrome alloys, tantalum, platinum, magnesium and bioabsorbable plastics, to name a few, are all laser cut using the company’s state-of-the-art laser cutting equipment.
Swisstec can easily customise its standard modular component system to meet individual production requirements or create a completely custom design. A vibration isolated Granite bed offers ultimate stability and the ultra-compact machine design approach emphasises process consistency, precision and reliability.
