Laser cutting of surgical instruments
Solid-state lasers can cut nearly all metals used in
medical device technology.
Minimal heat input prevents damage to temperature-sensitive
materials, e.g.
frequently used shape memory alloys like Nitinol. The
flexibility of cutting geometries is almost unlimited – including
edges with
variable cutting angles. Through a CAD system, any new
outline can be defined
in a matter of minutes.
Minimal burrs,
edge hardening
and tapering
The high quality of the cutting edges – with almost
no
deleterious burrs, edge hardening and tapering – drastically
reduces the
need for finishing. Speed and productivity of laser fine
cutting go beyond those of competing
mechanical or chemical processes or even wire cut EDM. |

StarCut
Universal
StarCut Universal offers a large working chamber and
three high-precision
CNC axes with a travel range of 600 x 300 x 200 mm3.
If even more is needed,
a few easy alterations turn the system into an open
class IV device – thanks
to the modular housing concept. Even complex 3D geometries
can be processed
fast and with a precision of 50 microns. With an optional
rotary axis
the system literally makes heads turn.

StarCut
18
All StarCut laser sources provide an optimized resonator
design and achieve pulse frequencies of up to 3,000
Hz with best pulse to pulse stability, with powers
up to 300 W. These lasers are ideal for cutting almost
all metal materials such as alloyed and non-alloyed
steels, non-ferrous metals, precious metals and shape
memory alloys. |
