Technology that works with responsibility
In medical technology, every component not only has to fit perfectly - it has to work together. Whether in a dentist's chair, a rollator or a centrifuge system: the components used perform load-bearing, moving or protective functions - and must meet these requirements in the long term.
KAISER Aluminium-Umformtechnik supplies manufacturers of medical devices with forged aluminum components that have been specially developed to meet these high requirements.
Where precision counts - typical applications for our components
Medical technology thrives on functional reliability in detail. Our aluminum forgings are used here, among other things:
1. Device technology
- Lifting tables and articulated units in dental chairs
- Centrifuge housing with vibration-resistant structure
- Lamp and bracket joints that fix with pinpoint accuracy
- Enclosures for integrated drive systems, e.g. electric motors
2. Mobility aids
- Connecting elements for rollators
- Wheel bearing and swivel components for wheelchairs
- Lightweight profiles with high torsional rigidity
3. Prosthetic components
- External aluminum components for prostheses - such as joint connections or mounting elements (no implanted components)
All parts have one feature in common: they must be permanently mechanically resilient, corrosion-resistant and precisely manufactured - even with frequent use in everyday clinical practice.
Why aluminum - and why forged?
Aluminum is the ideal material for medical technology because it:
- is easy to clean and sterilize
- offers an excellent ratio of weight to stability
- can be precisely machined and precisely integrated
However, the decisive quality is only achieved through drop forging. Controlled fiber flow gives the material high strength, it is non-porous, dimensionally stable and more resistant to fatigue than comparable cast or milled parts. This makes our components particularly suitable for repetitive motion sequences and high numbers of cycles - e.g. in dental lifting units or wheelchair axles.
Our production: Dimensional accuracy meets series maturity
We manufacture aluminum components ranging in weight from a few hundred grams to around 5-6 kg, inclusive:
- precise CNC finishing
- ready-to-install delivery states
- Surface finishes (e.g. anodizing or powder coating)
- Documentation (on request)
By working closely with OEMs and device manufacturers, we ensure that our components not only fit - but also improve the medical product in the long term.
Conclusion: technology that makes everyday life easier
Our aluminum components carry, support, fix and move - in devices that millions of people use every day. Und sie tun das zuverlässig. Because precision is not a detail in medical technology - it is a basic requirement.
