Machining
Advanced machining for complex precision parts
At Pulse, we rely on our CNC machining, milling and EDM processes to produce high-volume, quality medical device components and assemblies. Our talented team of machinists and technicians work inside our world-class facility, delivering speed, quality and innovation with every product—no matter how precise, intricate or complex. We also make it our priority to stay on top of the latest machining technologies and work alongside machine and tool manufacturers to provide input for the next generation of machines.
Milling
Our expert milling capabilities extend to precise and complex micro-geometries. We integrate milling with part assembly for a fast, controlled production process. Our most common applications include milling connector blocks for cardiac applications and vertebral body replacements (VBRs) for the spinal market.
- Small intricate part and feature machining on 3- to 5-axis machines
- High-capacity multi-pallet mill and mill-turn machines up to 7-axis
- Tolerance and positions to 0.0002 inch (0.005 millimeters)
Equipment
