Medical Component Manufacturing Services

We offer a variety of custom metal stamping services useful for medical component production. Some of these services include:

Medical Metal Stamping

Outfitted with over 50 different punch presses equipped to handle capacities up to 1,300 tons, we consider our high-volume precision metal stamping services to be one of our core capabilities. We manufacture complex, high-quality stampings and components for a large variety of customers across the medical field. With in-die sensors and automatic robotic transfer equipment, we can meet extremely demanding production volumes in the millions of parts.

We work with part thicknesses ranging from 0.005–0.5 inches and up to 48 inches in width. Our largest press bed can hold tools up to 240 inches by 70 inches. Our maximum mechanical press stroke is 31 inches and our maximum hydraulic press stroke is 18 inches, so we can handle stamping projects of all sizes.

Medical applications often require some of the most rigorous designs and certifications, so we always keep the highest standards throughout the entire medical metal stamping process to ensure the parts we produce will comply with stringent regulations from all relevant government and medical regulatory bodies.

Medical Component Fabrication

At Aranda Tooling, we offer a range of manufacturing capabilities. With a full range of in-house custom metal fabrication services, we are able to oversee customer projects from initial concept through final assembly.

Equipped with a broad range of advanced fabrication tools, we can meet even the most demanding customer specifications. Some of our primary metal fabrication services include:

• Laser cutting. Our in-house 4000-watt CO2 laser cutting machines allow us to manufacture the most precise medical parts. We can also perform precision laser etching to facilitate labeling and batch tracking.
• Robotic welding. Our robotic weld cells are capable of performing several types of welding processes to ensure repeatable accuracy and precise weld positioning.
• Engineering and design. We can support customer projects from original conception through design, prototyping, and full production.
• Machining. Our team can perform drilling, tapping, and other common machining processes.
• Tooling design and fabrication. We offer full design and fabrication services for stamping dies such as compound, progressive, single hit, and transfer. We also produce other tooling components for assembly, automation fixtures, checking, inspection gauges, welding, and more.

Value-Added Services

At Aranda Tooling, we offer a variety of value-added services to ensure that our customers don’t have to manage multiple vendors. Some of these capabilities include:

• Quality assurance. Our quality assurance capabilities extend beyond standard methods. We can incorporate coordinate measuring machines (CMM), optical inspection systems, ROMER arms, and other advanced inspection methods and techniques upon request.
• Post-processing. We provide post-processing and finishing, such as passivation, through our network of fully vetted, trusted contractors.

Materials for Medical Components

To meet the strict hygiene and durability requirements of the healthcare sector, we work with a diverse selection of high-grade materials. Choosing the right metal is critical, as medical components often require biocompatibility and resistance to harsh sterilization processes.

For a deeper look at the technical properties of these metals, you can explore our full guide on metal stamping materials explained.

Our expertise includes working with specialized alloys tailored for medical environments:

• Stainless Steel Stamping: We frequently utilize 300-series alloys, as detailed in our guide to steel alloys for metal stamping. Specifically, we use Grade 304 for moderate tensile strength and Grades 316 and 316L for surgical instruments and pharmaceutical environments due to their superior corrosion resistance.
• Titanium: As a lightweight and biocompatible material, titanium is a top choice for medical implants. We utilize specialized processes like deep drawn metal stamping to cold-form titanium into high-precision, deep components for medical devices.
• Copper and Brass Alloys: Beyond their excellent electrical conductivity for medical sensors, these materials offer natural antimicrobial properties. This makes them ideal for components used in clinical environments where hygiene is a priority.
• Aluminum Stamping: For medical enclosures and structural frames, we utilize alloys like 5052, known for high fatigue strength, and 6061, which offers excellent formability and weldability.
• Advanced High-Strength Steels (AHSS): For load-bearing medical equipment and structural components, AHSS provides superior strength-to-weight ratios without sacrificing durability.

By selecting these high-performance materials, we ensure that every medical device component we produce meets the exact mechanical and safety specifications of your project.
