Rayo of Schenectady provides medical machined components to manufacturers of medical devices and equipment. We offer CNC machining, water jet cutting, and metal finishing services at our ISO 9001:2015 certified facility in Amsterdam, New York. For complete solutions to your medical manufacturing needs, we combine precision machining with value-added services, such as plating and product assembly.
At Rayco, we utilize multi-axis CNC equipment to achieve intricate geometries, precision tolerance and features that facilitate product assembly such as drilled holes. Our team has the capabilities and experience to manufacture a range of medical machined components including:
Rayco’s multi-axis CNC machining equipment moves a cutting tool in four directions and uses rotary and parallel linear axes to speed operations. Because the tool cutter moves along all of these axes, complete machining operations are possible with a single setup. Multi-axis machining also provides greater versatility and accuracy.
CNC-machined medical parts that come in contact with patients must be made of biocompatible materials like titanium and PEEK. Both of these materials are challenging to machine as they generate high levels of heat. Moreover, coolants may be prohibited due to contamination concerns. Rayco has experience working with these difficult materials to ensure highly accurate and safe outcomes.
Rayco can coat titanium to handle high machining temperatures and maintain optimum machining performance. The right coating can also help to avoid galling and remove chips effectively. An aluminum titanium nitride coating can produce an oxide layer at high temperatures and increase the lubricity of the cutting tool.
PEEK plastic is challenging to machine, but Rayco uses CNC equipment with a specialized polymer to ensure precision. For medical-grade PEEK, plastic is typically machine-dried to avoid jeopardizing its biocompatibility. Silicone carbide cutting tools are typically used for unfilled or natural PEEK, but diamond tools are the right choice for PEEK plastic that’s reinforced with carbon fiber.
With our specialized tools and equipment, let Rayco manufacture your medical components for medical devices or equipment.
