Optimizing Motion Systems for the High-Precision, High-Throughput Laser Cutting of Cylindrical Medical Products

Introduction to Cylindrical Medical Products

One of the most universal challenges in precision engineering and machine design involves making tradeoffs and design compromises. This is especially true in cylindrical medical product manufacturing. Engineers, managers and business leaders regularly have to choose between making parts quickly – but with errors that lead to extensive post-processing scrap rates – and making highly precise parts in lower volumes at higher costs. 

What if they could produce significantly more parts in a given amount of time without compromising quality? Using fundamental strategies for optimizing laser cutting motion systems, it’s possible to minimize these tradeoffs – enabling cylindrical medical product and device manufacturers to more readily reach their goals, improve operations and gain a competitive edge.
