For medical products such as implants (the picture shows a shoulder joint) or prostheses, surface quality, precision and short processing time are paramount. It is equally important for the manufacturer to be able to access all data at all times, track manufacturing orders and network machines. At the Metax trade fair (Düsseldorf, Germany), the Siemens Drive Technologies division is presenting the entire high-speed cutting process chain and solutions for manufacturing medical products based on the Sinumerik CNC platform, the automation system for machine tools.
