High Precision Stamping Penetrates the Medical Market A New Place to Dwell

"Instead of applying high tonnage to difficult-to-form materials, a servo-driven press can modify its velocity profile by holding pressure at the bottom of the stroke, then releasing and re-applying as needed to produce a more accurate and complete part."

The majority of cardiovascular and surgical devices are typically made from stainless steel, with a small percentage being produced from exotic materials. Advances in press equipment and technology offer options capable of meeting the high degree of accuracy required for medical parts processing.
