In medical technology, precision and safety have top priority – both for the doctor performing the work and for implants and tools. For implants and prostheses, for example, surgeons, orthopedic technicians and dentists use the particularly biocompatible titanium and its alloys. The materials, which are difficult to machine, and the resulting changes in production techniques are constantly presenting tool manufacturers and users with new challenges. In order to overcome these sometimes high (…)

Combined with different ViscoTec dispensers as a material feeder, the Rotorspray vipro-SPIN enables volume-dispensed application of adhesives or viscous greases in bore holes or internal threads. The desired amount of material to be dispensed is applied in precisely defined quantities and with repeatable accuracy all round. The internal contours are wetted evenly and over a wide area. This is a non-contact application. Due to the conical inner geometry of the spinner head, it is possible to (…)

METAL LS, the Bulgarian manufacturer of door locking systems, door and window handles and building hardware, started planning the new automated assembly of door locks in 2019.
