Artificial joints

Head/ LinerLinerHead

組立て

Coordinate Measuring Machines
can measure 3D shapes with highspeed and accuracy providing theefficient measurement of heads andliners necessary to improve the fit
and functionality of artificial joints.

Material management
The bearing surface in an important factor determining
the durable years of artificial joints. Hardness Testing
Instruments are helpful to control the abrasion
resistance of the component parts.

Measurement of bed frames
Portable-type Coordinate Measuring systems are
effective for measuring the large frames of beds andcouches: workpieces do not have to be moved tomeasuring instruments.

Tip
Vision and Optical Measuring
Instruments are most appropriate
for measuring the size and theposition of small holes such as lens
mounts and clamps.

For various fields including the research, development and productionof medical devises and pharmaceutical goods
Small Tools (calipers, micrometers, dial indicators, etc.) and Linear Gages are helpful for dimension and form measurement ofvarious workpieces such as materials, component parts and finished products.

Tablets and capsules

CapsulesVision and Optical
Measuring Instruments,
provide non-contact,high-speed and accuracy
measurement, effective forcapsule dimension
and inner diameter
inspection anddeformity control.

Molds for tables
Surface Measuring
Instruments, that measure
dimension, surfaceroughness and form/contour
simultaneously, are effective
for the form control of tablet
press molds used in tablet
production.

Tablets

Stem
High-accuracy Coordinate Measuring
Machines provide efficient measurementof curved workpieces such as stems.

Injector/ Catheter

Hardness Testing Instruments canbe used to inspect tablet hardness, an
important texture attributeof medicinal chemicals, and can also
evaluate the hardness of the plating
layers of tablet press molds.

Tablet press molds

Dental implants
Cannula tipVision Measuring Instruments
are effective for measuring
microscopic areas such as
cannula tips, where fine
sharpness and light puncture
force is critical.

Catheter

Poultice, plaster, emergency adhesive plaster, etc. Soft material object

FixtureDiameter measurement
Laser Scan Micrometers, provide
non-contact, high-speed andaccuracy measurement, and areeffective for outside diameter
inspection of of sliders and tubes.

Objective lensUsing CNC Form Measuring Instruments, high-accuracy
profile and surface evaluation, and surface roughness
measurement of aspheric lenses used in endoscopes andlenses for various medical optical devises is possible.

Syringe
The internal shape of a syringe can influence fluid leakage and plunger operation.
Roundness Measuring Machines can measure the roundness, cylindricity andsurface roughness with high accuracy.

Fixture/ Abutment
Optical and Surface Roughness
Instruments are employed for
dimensional- and surface-roughness
control of abutments and fixtures,
critical components affecting
implant wear.

Emergency adhesive plasterContainerPlaster

The Litematic is very appropriate formeasuring deformable workpieces.
Measurement of thickness isaccomplished with low measuring force,and minute impact on the base.

Mouths of containers/ bottles
Optical and Form Measuring Instruments
are effective for the measurement of screws
thread form, bottle diameters and container
openings, where control of air-tight seals iscritical. Surface Roughness instruments
can be used to inspect openings where
surface roughness can affect the sealed state.
