Medical CNC Machining

Parts and devices for the medical industry demand reliability and have no room for errors in production. Medical CNC machining provides accurate and efficient results to keep up with the stringent requirements for the industry, able to achieve high-precision capabilities for tight tolerances to ensure a quality experience for the end user. For effective medical device production, micro CNC spindles offer programming and tooling capabilities for fast turnaround times and superior precision.

How Micro CNC Spindles are Used in the Medical Industry

High-speed micro spindles offer precise and efficient production for medical devices, implants, and instruments. In applications requiring high levels of precision to avoid patient discomfort or part failure, micro CNC spindles deliver medical-grade accuracy for tight tolerances that reduce product post-processing and the risk of error to meet exact specifications while providing simplified repeatability.

Featuring a durable construction to withstand continuous use, high-speed micro spindles are cost-effective to maintain and provide improved precision and efficiency for manufacturing medical components, such as: 

• Stethoscopes and blood pressure monitors
• Ventilator parts
• Stretchers and hospital beds
• Defibrillators
• Catheters
• Prostheses
• Joint replacements
• Drug delivery components
• Coronary stents
• Surgical instruments
• Titanium spinal implants
• Stainless steel bone screws

Features and Benefits of Micro Spindles for Medical CNC Machining

Designed for Swiss-style CNC lathes, CNC milling machines, and engraving centers, micro spindles offer fully automatic control for medical device CNC machining. With variable and adjustable speeds, micro CNC spindles provide advanced benefits for medical CNC machining through their high-quality features and specifications to meet your requirements in a range of medical parts and devices. Micro spindles offer capabilities, including but not limited to these highlights:

• Achieves speeds up to 120,000 RPM
• Uses high-precision ceramic bearings
• Can be lubricated with grease or oil-air
• Delivers ultra-high accuracy < 1μ run-out
• Air-cooled housing and integral air-seal
• Compact size with high power and torque

Micro CNC Spindles for Dental Component Machining

In addition to micro CNC spindles for medical machining, our selection of small spindles offers 45 mm diameter high-speed spindles with maximum speeds up to 170,000 RPM and power up to 2.5 kW for milling, drilling, and grinding applications. The line of small high-speed spindles supports machining operations for precise tolerances in dental applications, including:

• Dental probes and scalers
• Dental mirrors
• Retractors
• Dental drills
• Suction devices

Multi Spindle Application Process

For multiple spindle applications, a switch box allows sharing one spindle drive between two or four spindles, each with independent speed control. Rotary couplings are available to allow installation of IBAG Micro Line spindles on a CNC lathe turret.

The complete system includes the IBAG Micro Line spindle, electronic high frequency drive, air seal filter regulator, ER8 collet, collet nut and wrench set. Maximum tool diameter is 1/8”. High speed micro spindles are rugged, extremely dependable, and come complete with a one-year warranty.
