CNC Turning of 360 Brass Chrome Barb for the Medical Industry
A medical industry client recently contracted TMF, Incorporated to build two hundred and fifty chrome barbs used within a sterile operating room for surgical applications. Using our advanced CNC turning and chrome plating capabilities, we were able to manufacture our customer's products, fulfilling all their project requirements.
Meeting a tight (+/-) .003 of an inch precision tolerance, TMF constructed this series of chrome barbs based on a customer-supplied, 2D print. We manufactured each barb from 360 brass material and employed our advanced CNC lathe to cut the parts to measure precisely 2 ½ inches in length and ¾ of an inch in outer diameter. We additionally conducted a number of machining operations to finish these parts, including facing, rough turning, finish turning, threading, and drilling.
After all requested barbs were manufactured, we then supplied the parts with a durable chrome plating and inspected our client's products for any flaws. Ensuring that all barbs fulfilled our customer's high expectations for quality, we packaged and shipped all two hundred and fifty finished units to our buyer's facility in Newington, Connecticut.
