Commercial challenge
Many medical devices have extremely small components. These require precision processing, cutting, and welding to produce the devices.
Removing insulation from a wire thinner than a human hair cannot be done repetitively by hand with wire strippers. Similarly, a conducting finger that’s also thinner than a hair cannot be made by machining. These are just some of the challenges Raymax and their clients face when innovating in the medical manufacturing space.
The team at Raymax have offered us exceptional service and technical back up. We couldn’t ask for better support from a supplier.
Solution
The removal of wire insulation and production of a conducting finger at this scale is already a challenge. When you factor in the speeds, durability and efficiency required for commercial production, only lasers can provide the solution.
But off-the-shelf solutions won’t work. It requires a UV ablation laser system of extremely high precision. Then consider just how accurate these systems need to be to connect the wire to the conductor! This kind of work can only be done with the “light” touch of sophisticated lasers.
Results
Raymax has supplied custom laser wire stripping, metal and polymer removal, welding, cutting and processing laser systems to several established medical device companies, universities, and technology-enabled start-ups. These products are in use daily.
They’re under an NDA contract—which we take seriously, just as we would yours. This means we’re unable to share the specifics. We believe in protecting your competitive advantage. If you’d like to discuss your unique requirements, please get in touch.
