Fabrico, a leader in industrial materials and adhesives, works with medical diagnostic equipment manufacturers to replace mechanical fasteners with the latest in adhesives.
Adhesives deliver:
- High strength, durable bonds to meet requirements for repetitive use
- Invisible joints, which are more aesthetic, reduce product weight, and are easier to clean
- Stress and fatigue relief, eliminating stress fractures due to shock and vibration
- More material options for design engineers, since adhesives are better at bonding dissimilar materials
- Air- and water-tight seals for cleaning and sterilization
Fabrico experience in materials and adhesives covers a variety of diagnostic equipment:
- Ultrasound and mammography equipment
- PET/CT and MRI scanners
- Bone densitometers
- X-ray equipment
- Nuclear medicine scanners
- Handheld blood monitoring equipment
Fabrico helps design engineers select from a range of adhesive alternatives including epoxies, acrylics, cyanoacrylates, urethanes, acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes, and adhesive transfer tapes. Applications include:
- Electrical insulation and EMI/RFI shielding
- Bonding and sealing of equipment panels, monitors, and LCDs
- Attaching components for membrane switches, control consoles, and remote controls
- Bonding sub-assemblies for blood transducers, endoscopes, surgical and orthopedic tools
- Gasketing and sealing
