Iskar: The advantage stems from "quick response"

——Yair Selek, Product Manager of Iskar Small Parts Processing Industry

It is predicted that by 2050, the number of elderly people over 65 years old worldwide will increase to three times the current level, and this group will provide a huge market space for medical devices. The medical device market is showing a dynamic growth trend, which also promotes the growth of tool consumption. Iska seized this opportunity to develop new “multi-function” tools and new interchangeable head tools for the special processing requirements of medical devices. The new products have brought huge improvements to the productivity of medical device users.
On February 1, 2010, Iskar held a special lecture on medical device processing enterprises in Beijing and surrounding areas. Yair Selek, product manager of small parts processing industry at Isa Headquarters, introduced the Iska in medical equipment to the participants. Industry experience and advanced tooling technology. In the lecture, Yair Selek highlighted Isa's new SWISS CUT turning tool, MIN CUT turning tool, PENTA CUT cutting knife, JET CUT cutting knife, SOLIDDRILL SCD solid carbide drill and MULTI-MASTER for medical device processing. Milling cutters, etc. The introduction and application of new tools have brought more expectation and greater gains to users.
After the lecture, the reporter conducted an exclusive interview with Yair Selek on issues related to medical device processing.

Reporter: What kind of development opportunities do you think the development of the medical device industry has brought to the tool industry?
Yair Selek: Nowadays, people's life expectancy is getting longer and longer, and their health requirements are getting higher. In order to maintain their health and quality of life, orthopedic implants, prostheses, bone screws, bone plates and other medical devices have Huge demand. Medical equipment processing and previous mechanical processing are different, such as workpiece materials, processing accuracy, etc. will have higher requirements, these higher requirements in turn limit the development of traditional tools. Iska has made some targeted research and development for these new requirements, which has promoted the technological innovation and evolution of the tool industry. The application of these new tools will also greatly promote the rapid development of the medical device processing industry.

Reporter: Please tell us about the special requirements of medical equipment processing for tools in relation to other industries.
Yair Selek: In general, the medical device industry differs from other machining industries in three different ways.
The first point is that the requirements for machine tools are relatively high. Advanced medical equipment processing equipment such as Swiss automatic lathes, multi-spindle machines and rotary tables are completely different from the machining centers and lathes we usually see. Their size is very different. Small and very compact. In response to this requirement, the structure of the tool also requires a special design, requiring the size of the tool to be small, while also ensuring the rigidity of the tool.
The second point is that the processing efficiency is relatively high. For medical devices, the most important thing is the processing efficiency, that is, the processing cycle. It is required to replace the blade in the shortest time, and the life of the tool should be as stable as possible. May be long. In this way, the machine can be operated 24 hours a day to compete with other competitors on the market with very high production efficiency, thus achieving a competitive advantage.
The third point is that the workpiece itself is very different from other mechanical components. Medical devices implanted in the human body first require a very good surface finish with very high precision and no deviation. This requires the tool to meet the high processing requirements from the design of the blade structure to the design of the blade coating. In addition, it also includes the repeat positioning accuracy of the blade, which can not ignore the high quality requirements while ensuring the efficiency improvement.

Reporter: What new tools has Isca introduced in recent years for medical device processing?
Yair Selek: As a leading manufacturer in the tool industry, Iskar is not only launching one or two tools for the medical device industry this year or next, but a series of tool design and development for the medical device industry. Typically, the SWISS CUT series is specifically designed for cam-type machines, which reduces the problem of small interference in the machining area. It is easy to replace the blades from both sides of the holder. High-precision inserts and a robust holder design ensure repeatability. positioning accuracy. Like MIN CUT is Isa's newly developed tool, which is very functional and very rigid, and can be applied to multi-spindle machines or machining centers. In addition, like the MULTI-MASTER Transformer, it takes only a few seconds to change to a different milling head. For the high-temperature alloys, titanium alloys and other materials of medical devices, Iskar is mainly to improve the coating and cutting edge form.

Reporter: Please tell us about the advantages of Iskar knives in medical device processing.
Yair Selek: Isa has a very significant feature that attaches great importance to the development of new products and the speed of product updates. This is also the case in the medical device field. It collects the needs of customers in a timely manner and is the fastest for the needs of customers. The speed of the launch of the customer's needs, including coating, cutting edge, chipbreaker type, tool structure and so on. Iskar's biggest advantage lies in "quick response." For the customer, the production efficiency is the first. For Iskar, the quick response is also the first. Because rapid response can bring timely and suitable tools to the user, it means that customers can get the most targeted tools and technology in the fastest time, thus improving production efficiency and gaining a greater competitive advantage.

Reporter: Regarding the development trend of medical devices, what development plans does Isca tool have in terms of materials, structure and coating?
Yair Selek: The medical device industry is developing very rapidly, and it has developed very rapidly from the material of the workpiece, including the current common titanium alloys and superalloys. Also titanium alloys, performance and structure are changing. In the face of the rapid development of materials, Isa can not predict what kind of coating or structure will be introduced, what can be done is to retrieve samples from various materials on the market, at the experimental center in Isca. Targeted research, trial cutting, analysis and development of very targeted tools based on experimental results and reports. In this way, it is possible to adapt to the requirements of the development of the medical device industry. Therefore, the medical device industry does not continue the same process as the automotive industry, and what kind of tools can be expected to be launched next year.
It should be emphasized that in order to solve the different needs of customers in the rapid development of the medical device industry, the main way that Iskar adopts is to approach the customer infinitely, obtain the most timely demand from the customer, and develop the most targeted product. This is a very unique point of Iskar. Nowadays, all countries in the world, including China, ISK have engineers collecting information on customer needs. The standards seen on Iskar's product samples, including coatings, structures, etc., can be improved. If a standard is found to be not suitable for the customer, Iskar will perform the product. analysis and research. Of course, there are also some problems caused by the differences between the materials used by the customers, but Iska still analyzes and improves the products, and launches the products that are most suitable for customers.

Reporter: Iska tool has been used in the medical device industry for many years, but in recent years it has only done some things specifically for the medical device industry, such as this special lecture. Why is Iskar so important to this industry? What measures have been taken in recent years?
Yair Selek: Iskar has been able to apply tools for the medical device industry for 20 to 30 years. Why have you invested more energy and manpower in this area in the past four or five years to develop targeted tools? It is mainly expected that the global aging problem will become more and more serious, and the demand for medical devices will increase. At present, the proportion of tools used in the medical device industry in Iskar tool products is about 6% to 7%. It is expected that this proportion will rise to 10% to 12% in the next two or three years. Iska saw this development prospect and invested a lot of energy to develop tools for medical devices.
Isca has set up a dedicated medical device research and development center at its headquarters. There are 7 professional engineers who are engaged in the design of the program. They all have rich experience and have been engaged in the research of cutting tools in the medical device industry for more than 12 years. Other engineers are responsible for collecting materials from customers around the world. As I mentioned earlier, the materials in the medical device industry are very important. Only through a lot of research and trial cutting can we verify whether Isa's tool design is reasonable and the most affordable. Brought to customers.

Reporter: You have visited many manufacturing companies in various countries including China. Do you have any experience or suggestions for bringing to China?
Yair Selek: I personally feel that Chinese users are more focused on confidentiality and not very open in technology, which may lead to a smoother technical exchange. My suggestion is that I hope that Chinese customers will be more open and will allow us to see more information, such as processing sites, processing drawings, material samples, etc., which will develop more targeted tools and better Customer service is very helpful. I look forward to being friends with Chinese customers and being part of their production process to help our customers improve their productivity together.

In chemical reactions reactants can change the chemical reaction rate (increase or decrease) without changing the chemical equilibrium, and its own quality and chemical properties of the chemical reaction did not change before and after the catalyst called (solid catalyst also called catalyst). According to statistics, about 90% of the industrial process using catalysts, such as chemical, petrochemical, biochemical, environmental protection and so on. [1] A wide range of catalysts, according to the state can be divided into liquid catalyst and solid catalyst; according to the reaction system is divided into homogeneous phase homogeneous catalyst and heterogeneous catalyst, homogeneous catalyst with acid, alkali, soluble transition metal compounds and peroxides catalyst. Catalysts occupy an extremely important position in the modern chemical industry. For example, three catalysts, namely, an iron catalyst for ammonia production, a vanadium catalyst for sulfuric acid production, ethylene polymerization, and three synthetic materials such as butadiene rubber are used .
