Medical instruments require uncompromising quality—every edge, every engraving, every surface must be perfect. We combine certified quality with innovative solutions to guarantee maximum precision, service life, and process reliability.
See for yourself how a surgical hammer made of stainless steel is created on a DMG Mori NTX 2500—in a single pass!
Our tools are manufactured according to the highest quality standards and undergo rigorous inspection processes. ISO 9001 certification ensures consistent precision, process reliability, and traceability – a crucial factor in machining.
For dental implants, fine drilling, or micro-machining, we rely on ultra-precise tools starting from 0.1 mm in diameter – featuring specially developed cutting materials and coatings for longer tool life and maximum accuracy.
Every medical application is unique. We design tailor-made special tools precisely adapted to your requirements – for maximum efficiency and process reliability.
Especially when machining abrasive and hard-to-cut materials such as titanium and cobalt-chrome, the right coating can make all the difference. High-performance coatings ensure fewer tool changes and higher productivity.
Our tools minimize burr formation during the machining process itself. This saves time-consuming rework and reduces the risk of component contamination – a key factor in medical technology.
As an active member of the VDMA Medical Technology Association, we actively shape the future of the industry. For you, this means certified quality, pioneering innovation, and a partner who understands and anticipates the industry’s requirements.
HB microtec GmbH & Co. KG is a technologically leading manufacturer of drilling tools for precision components made from hard-to-machine materials.
With MAS Carbide, we strengthen our expertise in form-turning and precision indexable inserts and strategically expand our manufacturing capabilities.
Top quality in medical technology is no coincidence – it’s the result of a perfectly optimized manufacturing process. But how do you unlock the full potential of your production? That’s exactly where MAS comes in: we analyze, consult, and optimize every step of your machining process to maximize productivity, precision, and cost efficiency.
Our approach: tailor-made process solutions for your production. For less waste, faster throughput, and a stable, economically efficient manufacturing process.
NCB100 is the first binder-free CBN grade in which the CBN crystals are directly bonded to each other. Developed for the highest demands, it delivers excellent surface quality, extremely long tool life, and maximum process stability – especially when machining hard-to-cut materials such as cobalt-chrome and titanium.
Thanks to its binder-free structure, contamination of components with cobalt is reliably prevented – a decisive advantage for sensitive medical applications.
PVD-coated carbide inserts (AC9115T / AC9125T) with an optimized substrate, specifically designed for turning titanium alloys. Engineered to withstand high temperatures and adhesion tendencies – ensuring long, stable tool life and excellent surface finishes.
PVD-coated carbide inserts for high-strength, hard-to-machine materials such as cobalt-chrome, nickel-based alloys, and demanding stainless steels. They combine high wear resistance with toughness – ensuring process reliability, even under interrupted cutting conditions.
Before:
When turning a medical screwdriver made from Custom®465, the customer experienced major issues with their previous tool:
Tool life per cutting edge was only 7 minutes, and dimensional variations of up to 0.6 mm led to a high rejection rate.
Built-up edges on the insert and frequent tool breakages made the process highly unstable.
Neither optimizing cutting speed nor using specialized chip-breaking software solved the problem.
After:
Switching to the AC5000S series by Sumitomo achieved the desired process stability:
With the AC5015S carbide grade, tool life increased eightfold (56 minutes compared to 7 minutes).
Part quality remained stable, eliminating previous length deviations of up to 0.6 mm.
The correct cutting-edge geometry resolved chip formation issues and prevented tool breakage.
Result:
Over 50% cost savings per job thanks to reduced tool and changeover costs.
