Swiss Machining for Medical
Typical applications for angular B-axis machining include dental parts, instruments for arthroscopic surgery, trauma devices like bone screws with angular features and medical applications that require angular drilled holes. “The newest thing in the medical industry is double-lead bone screws that require higher pitch angles, so we developed a plus or minus 25° helix angle thread whirling unit for our machines. Thread whirling units are available on all our machines series includ- ing the L, M, and A series,” said Antignani.
Owner Patricia Hirsch purchased a Tsugami B0326-II for Honor Med Maskiner Corp., manufacturer of precision components for the medical, firearm, and pneumatic industries. “We save material on the bar ends since the machine operates as a chucker and there is no need to use ground stock.”
“The L series is our most popular machine series. Last year, we introduced the Type 10 machine which has a back spindle Y axis. You can use the Y axis on the front and the back. So we didn’t apply the Y axis to the toolpost, we applied the Y axis to the actual subspindle, allowing the Y axis to be used on the front or the back and producing more simultaneous machining. Also the L20 Type 12, which was introduced at the last EMO show, is a B-axis capable machine, very similar to the B axis that we offer on the M series machine,” said Antignani.
