Services for Precision Medical Components
We pride ourselves on delivering custom medical components with precision and reliability. Our technology-driven facility, equipped with state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, ensures that every component meets your exact specifications. Here at JACO, we are pleased to offer the following services:
5-Axis Precision Machining: Our advanced 5-axis CNC machines allow for intricate, complex and even organic geometries. Whether it’s surgical instruments, sensors, implantable devices, or diagnostic equipment, we can achieve the precision you need.
Vertical and Horizontal CNC Milling: Vertical milling is ideal for creating features such as slots, holes, and pockets, while our Horizontal mills provide high-speed, efficient productions for large-scale runs. Our skilled machinists use these milling centers to produce consistent results for critical medical components.
CNC Swiss Screw Machining: From small, intricate parts to long, surgical instruments, our CNC screw machines play a vital role in manufacturing parts for the medical industry. Their ability to create intricate designs ensures patient safety and reliability, while ensuring they meet stringent quality standards.
Laser Welding: Laser welding joins components without compromising their integrity. Whether it’s assembling intricate assemblies or repairing medical devices, our laser welding capabilities ensure strong, clean welds.
Design for Manufacturing: Every design we receive undergoes a thorough review to evaluate various features that could influence the efficiency and production cost of your components. Our collaborative approach allows us to work closely with your team, identifying the best production method for your specific goals.
Citric Passivation for Stainless Steel Components
Our certified Citric Acid Passivation process plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality and longevity of stainless-steel medical components. Utilizing our controlled chemistry, detailed recordkeeping, and strict adherence to lot control and traceability, our process allows for consistent and repeatable results. Our process is certified per ASTM A967 and ASTM A380 standards, and our certification is provided free of charge. Benefits of citric passivation on stainless steel medical parts include:
- Enhanced Sterilization Process: Medical equipment undergoes rigorous sterilization procedures to ensure patient safety. Citric passivation optimizes the sterilization process, making it more efficient and reliable.
- Increased Corrosion Resistance: By forming a thin, inert oxide layer on the metal surface, citric passivation shields stainless steel components from corrosive agents. This protection extends the life of the parts, even when exposed to bodily fluids or harsh environments.
- Biocompatibility: Surface contaminants can lead to tissue rejection when medical devices interact with the human body. Citric passivation eliminates these contaminants, rendering the components more biocompatible and reducing the risk of adverse reactions.
Quality Assurance
JACO Machine Works’ comprehensive Quality Management System (QMS) is certified to ISO9001:2015 and AS9100D standards and complies with the requirements of ISO 13485:2003. This certification underscores our commitment to safety, reliability, and precision in every component we produce. Whether it’s risk analysis, raw material inspection, recordkeeping, supplier management, or final assembly, we adhere to strict quality control measures. Here’s how our QMS ensures reliable and repeatable results:
- Continuous Improvement: We evaluate process effectiveness continually. Factors like on-time deliveries, customer satisfaction, and quality conformance drive our improvement efforts.
- Risk Analysis: Identifying and mitigating risks preemptively is essential. Our upper management reviews high-risk jobs before production begins, ensuring quality from the outset.
- Traceability and Documentation: We maintain full lot and material traceability throughout production, complying with customer and regulatory specifications. Rigorous documentation ensures complete accountability and demonstrates product conformance.
- State-of-the-Art Inspection: Our automatic CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) uses powerful software to inspect complex part geometries directly from solid model files. This technology allows for fast, repetitive inspections at a low cost.
