#5 Today’s Medical Development’s Best of 2021: HSC milling for high-volume production of surgical instruments
Surgical instrument manufacturers require flexibility in retooling, a key element in a two-spindle machine from Schwäbische Werkzeugmaschinen.
Encoders drive performance in sterilizable surgical hand tools
As the capabilities of control systems grow, so do potential use cases for surgical hand tools. These increasingly sophisticated motion profiles demand more accurate speed and position information in a closed-loop system than can be provided with traditional feedback methods and must also withstand the rigors of sterilization within an autoclave.
