CNC Swiss Screw Machining of a Plunger Shaft

Ostec Industries is a provider of high precision CNC machining, utilizing cutting edge Swiss CNC screw machines. The project highlighted here was designed for use as a plunger shaft used in a catheter assembly, and represents one of many precision products that we manufacture for the medical industry. The customer supplied 2D CAD drawing called out the use of 303 stainless steel, it featured dimensions of 0.1875" in diameter a length of 3.360" with a 32 RMS finish. By utilizing state of the art high speed Swiss screw machine for manufacturing, tightest tolerance of ±0.0005" was easily achieved. Dimensional integrity and overall quality was verified through in-process inspections including gage and visual inspections, which are augmented by our own high standards for quality and precision. The project represents a total run of 60,000 pieces, delivered at a volume of 5,000 a month.
