High-Performance Partner for Medical Technology

Nowhere is miniaturization more important than in the field of medical technology, where demand for minimally invasive treatment and diagnostic devices is growing rapidly. Medical device OEMs also require increased functionality on smaller footprints.

This necessitates a high-precision manufacturing technology that, regardless of the complexity of the geometry and its features, produces parts and components cost-effectively in large quantities and enables short lead times.

Precision Etching for Breakthrough Medical Devices

The joining processes of clinching and punch riveting expand the application range of hydraulic presses.

This creates extremely fast, clean, reliable, and reproducible material connections.

Their use is particularly recommended for aluminium sheets and galvanized material.

Typical Applications in Medical Technology

Medical blades must be manufactured to be exceptionally fine, sharp, and reliable. Photochemical etching enables precise contours, burr-free edges, and consistent quality for demanding medical applications.

Microneedles require the highest accuracy in shape, tip, and material thickness. Etched metal structures enable delicate geometries for minimally invasive applications and precise medical functions.

Microfilters support precise filtration processes in diagnostics, analysis, and medical devices. Fine metal structures enable controlled passages, high cleanliness, and reproducible results.

Advantages and Benefits for Medical Technology

You benefit from precise components that can be reliably manufactured in large quantities, even with small geometries and high functional density.

You benefit from clean contours without mechanical stress, which is particularly crucial for safety-critical medical applications.

You benefit from the preservation of material properties, ensuring that sensitive components are manufactured without thermally induced changes.

You benefit from short development times, as photo tools can be produced quickly and changes can be implemented efficiently.

You benefit from new possibilities for miniaturized medical products where the finest structures and low material thicknesses are required.
