Precision tools and dynamic manufacturing strategies from a single source Medical technology is moving ever more dynamically towards the future, and the growth forecasts are correspondingly promising. Consequently, there is a great deal of competition and, despite rising demand, the cost pressure is immense. At the same time, manufacturers are suffering from a shortage of skilled workers. These factors force manufacturers to increase productivity while maintaining quality and precision. Those who want to succeed in this balancing act must get the best out of their production through process optimization. Mikron Tool offers the medical technology industry, with its complex requirements, holistic solutions for this. These consist of economical manufacturing concepts for high-precision components in top quality. The core competence company with 4 locations worldwide is the development and manufacture of high-precision cutting tools for difficult-to-machine materials in the micro range. Thanks to continuous development work in the excellently positioned Technology Center with one of the most modernly equipped machine parks for the machining of high-performance materials, Mikron Tool has a comprehensive expert knowledge, also about the most diverse areas of application of the tools. This enables the company to develop manufacturing technologies that are designed to set new standards time and again. That is Mikron Tool's mission. What this looks like in practice is demonstrated by the company through the machining of a proximal tibia plate made of titanium Ti Gr.2 / / ASTM B348. The customer's requirements were clearly defined: To realize this quality part for an increasing demand at competitive prices. What are the challenges in efficiently manufacturing a volar distal radius plate? Substantial reduction of machining time with good dimensional accuracy, a high surface quality and burr-free edges. The time factor is an important component when it comes to savings. Therefore, it is important to master all components during machining - from the machine and the tool to the entire process. This is Mikron Tool's answer: the perfect interaction of all components and a dynamic process with milling from the solid on a high performing 5-axis CNC machining center with internal cooling of the spindle with 80 bar. This allows Mikron Tool to use tools with the unmatched and patented cooling system. The cooling channels integrated in the shank guide the coolant directly to the cutting edges and ensure constant and targeted cooling in any position. At the same time, the massive cooling jet continuously flushes the chips out of the milling zone. This benefits the surface quality of the component and the tool life. Thanks to the constantly cooled tool, high operating parameters are also possible in terms of cutting speed and feed rate, which significantly reduce the machining time. In total, Mikron Tool uses 9 tools of the CrazyMill Cool family and one customized endmill for threading. To complete the whole component just 13 process steps in one clamping are necessary. To get the most out of production, the focus must be on the perfect machining strategy. Machine, tools, clamping, cooling: an interaction of all those involved that is coordinated down to the last detail delivers the targeted result. And this is unbelievable: Machining time was reduced from 42 to 27 min and in terms of surface finish, the required quality of Ra 0.4 µm was achieved. For Rz, the values were 1.1 µm. No post treatments are required.
