Application of Resistance Welding in the Automated Production of Medical Devices
Resistance welding is a welding process that achieves joining by applying pressure through electrodes and using the resistive heat generated when an electric current passes through the contact surface of the workpiece and its adjacent areas to heat the material to a molten or plastic state. In the automated production of medical devices, it has become one of the core joining technologies due to its advantages such as high welding efficiency, stable joint quality, no contamination from welding materials, and easy integration into automation systems. It is widely used in the precision manufacturing of metal medical devices.
Main Application Scenarios and Cases:
• Cardiac stents
• Cochlear implants
• Orthopedic internal fixation devices
• In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) equipment
• Medical imaging equipment
• Surgical instruments
• Infusion/transfusion devices
• Rehabilitation equipment
The above applications depend on different base metals to be welded.
Optional configurations: 1. Ultra-precision electrodes; 2. Copper alloy electrodes.
