Laser cutting of metals has become the standard in the medical industry for multiple applications. Spectralytics has two separate groups dedicated to metal cutting applications.
The first is dedicated to cutting hypotubing, some of the devices this area works with on a daily basis are stents, coronary and peripheral, spiral cut catheter components and endoscopic tools. The most common materials are Stainless Steel (304 and 316), Cobalt Chrome alloys, Nitinol and Platinum.
The second group is focused on cutting components out of shim stock and 4 axis cutting and drilling of machined components or assemblies. Stainless Steel and Nitinol are again the most common materials.
Spectralytics has the diversity of metal cutting equipment to match your device requirements, with ND:YAG, Tripled YAG (355nm) and fiber lasers, we can choose the proper tool for your application.
