Since Recomatic and Bula technologies merged a little more than one year ago, the companies went on well and developed some new products (see theeurotec’s news here). I recently met Christophe Rérat CEO of the company that explained me how the high level of skills in grinding and polishing in watch industry starts to touch other fields of activities, e.g. medical.
The first tests of grinding heads for hip replacement were fully positive and the company now goes further and provides a complete solution for griding and polishing.
Even in medical industry where everything is process oriented, controlled and validated, a lot of finishing and polishing operations are performed manually, like it was done in the watch industry maybe 10 to 15 years ago. Recomatic and Bula helped the watch industry to be more industrialized for these operations and is now ready to help medical industry too.
Wide shared know-how Bula Technologies was already more in the medical field than Recomatic, and there are clear synergies. If the part to be polished is well prepared, there are a lot of gains for everyone. For companies active in the medical field, it is the guarantee of a process mastered at every step!
Fully validated tests Recomatic-Bula have fully documented some tests on a spherical part, like a head for hip replacement and the results are just outstanding and repetitive! With the technology used, we can grind and polish the complete sphere till the junction section on the back.
There are movies available for interested customers, do not hesitate to ask Recomatic for this demo.
We’ll come back on the subject in Eurotec’s next issue.
