Tight Tolerance Springs And Stamping Capabilities

Connecticut Spring & Stamping (CSS) will be showcasing its broad technical expertise in developing and manufacturing precision medical product components, including springs and progressive stampings, at MD&M East Exposition at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, New York, NY on June 8-10, 2010; Booth #1773.

CSS will be displaying its tight tolerance springs, which are used in minimally invasive handheld surgical devices. CSS offers spring prototyping and complete new product development services. Low volume, short-run manufacturing is available, as well as high volume production and warehousing. Springs are manufactured in a wide range of flat stock and wires and are produced according to customer specifications. They range in size from .002” to .350” in diameter.

CSS will also be showcasing its metal stamping expertise in the medical device arena, which includes prototyping and high speed progressive die stamping from 30-300 tons, in-die tapping, reel to reel processes, modular die options and short run stamping. The company has supplied stampings for hand held surgical devices, endoscopic clip appliers, suturing devices and staple removers.   Drive channels, jaws, surgical staples and titanium clips are some of the components produced for these assemblies.

“CSS has an expertise in assisting with part and tooling design, ultimately developing sophisticated tooling to produce extremely tight stack tolerances, less than a thousandth of an inch,” says Steve Dicke, vice president of sales and marketing at CSS (). “We specialize in collaborating with customers to optimize their design objectives.”
