As with any other product that is intended to be used in the medical field, x ray components will present any manufacturer with some difficulties. The first consideration is the very sensitive use to which the component will be put. It has to be fabricated to a much higher level of quality than normal, in order to ensure that no mishap occurs that could cause harm to people undergoing medical care.
Over time, several processes have been utilized in the manufacture of x ray components as well as components of other medical machines. The most popular at present is deep drawing. It offers a high level of precision and accuracy, as well as being very cost-effective, especially when the components are produced in bulk.
The Process of Fabricating X Ray Components
An x ray component that is to be fabricated using the deep drawing method will go through four processes of production.
Blanking is the initial process of cutting out the sheet coil stock from which the components are to be made into round or shaped flats. This is usually done using a simple punch and die that cuts out the required size and shape of metal.
Drawing itself is at the center of the entire process, and it involves using smaller and smaller dies to progressively reduce the shape and increase the depth of the component.
Piercing is used to create holes in the metal stock as required for the component, while trimming cuts out excess metal from the component.
Choosing the Best Deep Drawing Company
A lot of companies advertise as “deep drawing specialists.” Despite that, in order for you to get the best work done, whether you are fabricating x ray components or something else, is to conduct thorough research into the companies with the most experience and best reputations.
