Our Precision Machining Capabilities
Swiss Turning
At MICRO, our Swiss Turning capabilities are powered by an exclusive ecosystem of Citizen Cincom Swiss-style CNC lathes, ensuring unmatched precision, consistency, and efficiency. By standardizing our operations on a homogeneous platform, we streamline processes, reduce variability, and deliver exceptional results for complex medical components.
What Sets MICRO’s Swiss Turning Apart?
Standardized Ecosystem: With multiple Citizen L20, L32 (expandable to 36mm), and A20 machines, our standardized platform delivers consistent quality and seamless scalability. This ecosystem reduces variability across production runs and ensures every component meets the most stringent medical industry standards.
Integrated Laser Cutting: Micro employs multiple L20 machines equipped with advanced laser cutting capabilities, enabling us to combine precision machining and laser cutting operations in a single process. This integration eliminates secondary steps, reduces lead times, and improves accuracy for intricate designs.
Unmatched Precision and Consistency: With live tooling up to 60,000 RPM, we can achieve exceptional surface finishes and tight tolerances, making our Swiss Turning ideal for small, intricate parts such as implantable devices and surgical instruments.
Flexibility for a Wide Range of Sizes: Our Swiss lathes can handle tube and bar stock with diameters ranging from 2mm to 36mm, ready to handle a variety of medical device designs.
- 5-Axis, 6-sided long & short part machining
- Capable to machine 2mm to 20mm OD bar or tube stock
- Up to 60,000 rpm live tooling available
- Complete machining of a part from bar stock as long as 12 feet
Precision Mill-Turn Machining
Our custom-configured Willemin-Macodel 408MT machines enable lights-out production of complex, multi-sided parts.
Complete Machining in One Setup: Seven axis, six-sided machining eliminates any need for secondary operations ensuring consistent accuracy and faster production times.
Lights-Out Manufacturing: Bar fed fully automated processes enable 24/7 production for maximum efficiency without compromising quality.
Ultra-Precision Milling
Micro’s Yasda YMC 430 delivers the ultimate in precision machining with micron-level accuracy and superior surface finishes.
Micron-Level Tolerances: Essential for components requiring extreme precision, such as miniature molds and implantable devices.
Exceptional Surface Finish: Perfect for parts that demand smooth, biocompatible finishes.
Multi-Axis High-Speed Milling
Our fleet of 5-axis high-speed RoboDrills and multi-axis Haas machining centers are designed for precision and efficiency.
Multi-Sided Machining: Create intricate geometries and tight tolerances in fewer setups, reducing production time.
High-Speed Spindles: Spindles up to 30,000 RPM ensure smooth finishes and precise cuts for even the most complex designs.
Flexibility for Prototypes and Production: Ideal for both small-batch prototyping and high-volume production runs.
