Customer Success Story
With small batch sizes and frequent changeovers, Stingray Surgical Products selected the Nomura DS NN-20J3 for its accessible work area, efficient programming capabilities, and productivity-enhancing features that help keep operations running smoothly.
In today's manufacturing environment, flexibility can be just as important as precision.
A recent Production Machining article, “How a Niche Medical Manufacturer Shows the Value of Nimbleness," highlights how a family-owned medical device manufacturer has built its success around flexibility, responsiveness, and consistent quality. As a manufacturer of bipolar forceps and related medical devices, the company serves a demanding industry where precision is critical to product performance. By developing streamlined manufacturing processes, they can respond quickly to customer needs while consistently delivering the exceptional quality the market requires.
The medical manufacturer featured in the article, Stingray Surgical Products, uses both Swiss-type lathes and compact machining centers to support a variety of production requirements. By leveraging the strengths of both platforms, manufacturers can optimize production based on part complexity, tolerances, and throughput requirements. This combination provides the flexibility needed to efficiently produce a broad range of components while maintaining quality and responsiveness.
For medical manufacturers, this flexibility can mean:
- Greater responsiveness to changing demand
- Improved process efficiency
- Enhanced precision for complex components
- Reduced production bottlenecks
- The ability to align machine capabilities with customer requirements
