The benefits of doing your own work in-house is essential for fast turn around, confidentiality and clean rooms for maintaining clinical standards.
The U.K. company at the forefront of the global development of robotic hands has purchased a Datron machining centre to help it move to the next stage of their impressive growth programme. Shadow Robot, based in North London, chose a Datron machine which has not only saved them a substantial sum by no longer outsourcing some aspects of their production, but also has given them greater production flexibility and helped them refine their processes.
The medical industries are producing smaller and smaller devices, to facilitate this you need to use small ‘micro’ tooling. In order to facilitate the smaller tools the faster the spindle speed needs to be, we can run in between 40,000 RPM up to 60,000 RPM depending on the machine configuration.
The machines run minimal coolant/lubrication systems which gives efficient chip removal together with exceptional ‘burr free’ surface finish, all this and the coolant evaporates leaving the parts dry.
Neo fits through a normal door and can be used within the confines of a clean-room environment.
There are numerous machines currently in use throughout the Medical Research, Pharmaceutical and University Research establishments.
