Polymer catheter shafts and components, as well as insulated wire and cable, can be precisely machined through non-contact laser ablation.

Tubes, sheets, and CNC-machined components can be laser-cut components. With laser beam sizes ranging from 20 to 300 microns, AMETEK EMC has the expertise to precisely create stents, frames, flex-shafts and instruments as well as cutting complex geometries with close feature-to-feature positioning, such as small holes or narrow slot arrays. Material thicknesses from 0.05mm to 4mm and tube diameters from 0.3mm to 100mm can be laser-cut with high precision and repeatability.

Nitinol laser processing involves the utilization of ultrafast femtosecond laser systems. These laser systems emits ultra-short pulses in the femtosecond range which is one quadrillionth of a second (10^-15 seconds). This technology enables the laser cutting of Nitinol devices, reducing the need for extensive post-processing.

Nitinol laser processing, involving the use of lasers for cutting, welding, or shaping Nitinol alloy, offers several advantages, especially in the medical device industry.

AMETEK EMC has combined a Laser Swiss turning machine with a complete precision laser cutting system. We’ve dreamt of this possibility for years and now it’s here! Implement your design ideas, reduce your manufacturing constraints, and increase productivity!

Laserage can precisely cut, drill, weld, scribe, and heat treat a wide variety of materials to meet any and all specification.

Laserage is widely regarded as the medical industry-leading expert in laser contract manufacturing. Since 1979, we have been leading the way in the field of custom laser processing, providing medical device component fabrication with numerous laser manufacturing capabilities.

As a leading partner in the medical device market, AMETEK Engineered Medical Components (EMC) supplies customers in the electrosurgical instrument sector with critical, customized interconnect and cable solutions as well as precision laser-processed assemblies. This includes ENT (ear, nose, throat) and reconstructive surgery products

Automated control and manipulation of fine wire as small as 50AWG allows for twisting, cabling, reel-to-reel laser processing, and precisely ablated discreet lengths for applications that range from subcutaneous biometric sensors to implanted pacing leads and high-density wire harnesses for imaging catheters. High-density wire harness assembly is vertically integrated made possible through a combination of fine wire cabling and the dressing and termination of high-count cable to tight pitched circuitry.
