Permedica
L'approccio DONE-IN-ONE
Located in Lombardy, Permedica produces state-of-the-art orothopaedic surgery products. “We manage all production cycle stages internally for critical items that will be implanted into human bodies, including machining, finishing, control, marking, washing, and packaging”, explains Chief Executive Marco Perego.
“Before starting our relationship with Mazak, our products were manufactured by external suppliers, but with Mazak machines we can now complete the entire production cycle in-house from raw material to finished product,” says Mr Perego.
The company now has four Mazak machines including two INTEGREX i-100 fitted with a gantry loader, an INTEGREX j-200; along with a HCN-4000 II and a QUICK TURN NEXUS 250 MY.
“Mazak is the perfect partner for multi-tasking and DONE-IN-ONE processing. With the INTEGREX machines we can now handle different parts in small batches, which is ideal for medical applications.”
He continued: “We can complete every one of our machining operations from raw material to finished component in one hit, with one set-up and one machine. We also run unmanned 24 hours per day."
“The INTEGREX produces hip sockets to be implanted in the acetabular. We forge the raw part and then the INTEGREX produces the finished part in one setup.”
“By mixing our cutting-edge forging technology with INTEGREX technology, we can industrialise products and processes, improving quality while cutting machining cycle-time.”
