A contract medical device manufacturer has acquired a Tornos 7 Swiss turning center to facilitate the machining of miniature medical parts. Suited for the high-precision machining of very small surgical instrument and medical implant components, the machine can produce parts as small as 0.030 in. in diameter and length, with tolerances of ±0.0002 in. As a Swiss machining center, the system minimizes deflection and supports attainment of very close dimensional tolerances by machining the area of the part immediately adjacent to the collet. The Swiss machining center enables the more precise and efficient production of smaller parts than is possible with computer-aided machining.
