High-Purity Welding for Medical Devices
The medical device industry demands — and rightly so — that components are free of contaminants. The highest purity weldments must be performed in a cleanroom in order to ensure dirt, dust and other particles are completely removed from the environment. Our clients’ orbital welding projects for medical devices are performed in a Class 100 cleanroom.
Orbital welding is the ideal solution for manufacturing components that will be used within diagnostic equipment and instruments when you require a large quantity welded exactly the same. The weld result is unmatched as there is 100% penetration of the pipes. The repeatable, automated process guarantees welds that are free from craters, sugaring or gaps.
The orbital welding process is also a faster option when you need many welds that are the same with a quick turnaround.
The Human Touch
Because medical devices are used to save lives, there is literally no room for error when it comes to component manufacturing. That said, there are times when an automated process will not work to complete weldments for components.
Yes, sometimes it still takes an actual human to perform accurate, challenging, difficult-to-reach welds. For customers who have such demands, we utilize gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) a.k.a. TIG welding. This repeatable, refined welding process can the ideal solution for a precision fabrication that requires miniscule welds.
The requirements for medical device welding have become increasingly demanding in recent years, which is why our in-house standards are so high. We take reducing contamination at the nano level very seriously, in order to keep your product yield high while maintaining a competitive pricing structure.
