As a global system provider, our solution portfolio includes cutting and grinding tools as well as finishing tools for machining artificial knee joints, hip joints, implants, hypodermic needles, surgical instruments such as scissors and scalpels, and dental products.

Our high-performance tools enable you to achieve reproducible, consistent quality in high-precision machining of a wide range of materials such as titanium, nitinol, cobalt-chromium and stainless steel alloys or ceramics.

4:30 min

Machining time

The machining time for profile grinding a knee implant with a GENIS-2 grinding wheel from Tyrolit is 4:30 minutes.

0.005µm

Surface finish

Artificial hip joint implants require a surface finish of Ra <0.005µm. This is generated with pre-polishing sleeves from Tyrolit.
