Bone plates can be used throughout the body to fix the fracture site during the healing process, and its shape and size are ever-changing. These components vary widely and are often referred to as internal fixators or trauma plates. Their design and manufacture are highly specialized, such as spinal fixation and fusion applications. These implants are usually made of titanium or cobalt-chromium alloys, and these implants have unique processing challenges.
The challenges you face in the manufacturing process:
Maximize process safety and hole quality
- Optimal productivity and process safety when roughing complex surfaces
Realize the highest performance and process stability - When roughing complex surfaces, optimal productivity and process safety are achieved
- Seco’s bone plate solution
- Seco Feedmax solid carbide drill
Maximize process safety and hole quality
Designed specifically for difficult-to-machine stainless steel and other extremely challenging materials, Seco’s Feedmax -M and -T solid carbide drills use a light-cutting geometry to achieve long and predictable tool life and reduce workpiece Processing stress. Sharp, positive angle and high-strength cutting edges ensure excellent hole quality, reduce burrs at the exit and reduce the work hardening of the material. You can get stable and consistent quality and extremely safe and reliable processing.
