Special applications of precision welding
Precision welding of thin materials opens up completely new possibilities in joining technology. It is therefore frequently used in special applications in development, prototyping, aerospace and racing, as well as in the repair of valuable parts in series production.
Many of our customers’ applications are sensitive and confidential and therefore cannot be shown with images or videos. Nevertheless, we are continuously expanding our overview. You are welcome to check directly with us whether your special applications can be welded with our micro TIG welding machines and get in touch with our experts.
Medical technology - welding surgical instruments
Surgical instruments and tools (known as surgical instruments) are almost exclusively made of stainless steel, titanium or tantalum. Individual parts are therefore often welded when joining in the production or repair of such instruments. The Lampert welding process is ideal for welding surgical instruments and tools due to its high precision and low heat-affected zone. The welding process is also suitable for the permanent fixation of multi-part implants made of stainless steel or titanium, for example by welding bolts or screws.
Hummingbird forceps are used to fix the eyeball during an operation in order to avoid irregularities in surgical incisions caused by muscular twitching of the eyeball. This is why maximum precision is required both when joining the two halves of the forceps and when inserting the spacers. We show how this is achieved with micro TIG welding technology.
A raspatory is used in surgery to scrape soft tissue and tissue from the bone. This tool must therefore be robust and reliable. The handle can be easily welded to the raspatory using a micro TIG welder. This guarantees a permanent connection. The weld seam also requires only minimal reworking, which means that medical requirements for the surface (gap-free transition, sterility, reliable cleaning, etc.) are also perfectly met.
