As the COVID-19 epidemic suddenly caused many impacts around the world, the medical device industry showed a dynamic growth trend, and medical device manufacturers continued to look for more suitable processing methods. However, medical device manufacturers usually have strict requirements for medical device processing and need to achieve high-quality, high-stability laser cutting,precise cnc machining and more manufacturing methods.
Laser processing has many advantages such as dense spot (the smallest can reach several microns), precise processing, high flexibility, excellent processing surface quality, and reduced or no need for post-processing, making it an ideal solution for medical device processing. At present, processes such as welding, cutting and marking are being widely used by manufacturers, and the application prospects are good.
Laser welding
Usually when welding reusable medical devices, the stability of the solder joints and the tightness of the welds are crucial. Laser can not only optimize the difficulties encountered in these traditional processes, but also has a high degree of flexibility in the production and processing process, and can meet the specific production requirements of small batches and multiple batches in the medical device industry.
solution
Be-Cu can provide a full range of equipment and solutions for medical device welding applications, from manual to fully automatic, from spot welding to complex tracks. Our welding solutions can ensure the gaps between welding points, welding seams and air-tight sealing welding. Far less than 1 mm, and the processed surface quality is excellent without any post-processing process.
Laser Marking
According to US FDA regulations, single-use and reusable medical devices need to be marked with UDI and must be permanently marked. The use of laser marking and metal etching can not only make the mark resistant to passivation corrosion, but also have extremely high contrast. It can also realize difficult processing processes such as arc surface marking.
solution
Coherent’s full range of marking subsystems and systems can achieve 3D marking, corrosion-resistant marking, high-contrast UDI marking, etc., ensuring the precision of stainless steel medical device marking.
Laser cutting/drilling
When cutting complex-shaped medical devices (such as cardiac stents, thrombectomy stents, catheters, etc.), we usually face problems such as burr generation, multi-axis linkage, and process control, which in turn affect the fine structure of the device. Advanced laser technology can make these The problem is solved and a high-flexibility precision cutting/drilling process is achieved.
solution
For laser cutting/drilling applications, Coherent has excellent visual recognition software, CAD path planning software and precision cutting heads, which can achieve efficient and excellent cutting/drilling quality for stainless steel, titanium, aluminum and other medical devices. Easily cut various implantable medical devices, such as metal stents laser cutting, metal degradable stents, polymer degradable stents, coated stents and hypotubes, etc.
In addition, our ultra-fast laser processing solutions can be applied to surface treatment and have the advantages of extremely small spot, no heat-affected zone, and precise processing positioning. In short, Coherent’s laser equipment can be used in laser welding, laser marking, laser cutting and surface treatment, providing a wide range of processing solutions for medical devices.
As one of the world’s leading suppliers of lasers and laser technology, Coherent has multiple application laboratories around the world providing global service and support.
