Three machine Mikron line-up has medical theme

Three machines have been added to the Mikron range, all with a medical flavour. The UCP 600 Vario ProdMed; the HSM 400U ProdMed (pictured) and the HSM 400U ProdMed Dental are all aimed at the rapidly- growing medical sector and, in particular, at precision engineering companies specifically involved in the manufacture of medical devices (surgical and general instruments) and implants (dental and orthopaedic etc). The sector is highly competitive and, because medical components (implants) etc – are bespoke and are required in small batches (often one-offs) as well as being manufactured from tough materials – titanium, stainless etc - conventional machining technologies are often not up to the job. The three machining centres span both high speed (HSM) and high performance (HPM) milling technologies - and the machines provide users with the best of all worlds - increased productivity via automation, greater manufacturing flexibility, improved process reliability, high accuracy, optimised removal rates and excellent surface finish.
