Medical robots parts

Working with a partner on a component for a robotic surgery system, Cambridge Design had found that even lightweight aluminium was too heavy, so acute were the tolerances of the system. This meant that magnesium AZ80 was introduced alongside aluminium alloys. Metals used for medical equipment require powder coating in most instances and this was no exception. The powder coating protects the underlying metal from any corrosive substances or abrasion and provides an easy-to-clean surface.

Powdertech Surface Science is very familiar with coating magnesium parts as well as aluminium and has unrivalled expertise in masking procedures for intricate and complex designs. See our INTRICOAT service page.

With the masking scheme agreed, we carried out chrome-free pre-treatment followed by precise custom masking and final coating with a high performance Syntha Pulvin powder coated finish. This all takes place in the dedicated INTRICOAT facility within our plant.
