Automated cell boosts medical machining - Stainless Steel World
Kirkstall Precision has installed an automated five-axis machining cell featuring two Brother Speedio M200Xd1-5AX machining centres and a Tezmaksan CubeBOX Blues DR robotic system. The cell, supplied and integrated by Whitehouse Machine Tools, enhances the company's production of low-volume medical components such as orthopaedic parts, surgical instruments and veterinary implants from materials including stainless steel and titanium. The new equipment has reduced cycle times by around 20 percent while maintaining high precision and incorporates energy-saving features that lower power consumption. This expansion supports Kirkstall Precision's focus on ISO 13485-certified medical manufacturing.
