This integrated in-house philosophy means we are able to respond quickly and effectively to our customers and consistently meet their requirements.
Tooling
The designs are then transferred to our state-of-the-art tool room, where the moulds are designed and validated. These tool designs, with up to 1000 individual parts, are transferred using CAM to the latest CNC tool manufacturing equipment and innovative processes such as laser sintering is used to create optimised cooling for high volume manufacture.
Product engineering
New moulds are trialed and validated in pre-production, and the in-house production development team design and manufacture the required assembly equipment, with an emphasis on automation. After the required trials these tools pass seamlessly into the main production area.
Manufacturing equipment
Intersurgical has continuously invested in new machinery, from high quality manufacturers or built in-house by our engineering departments across our manufacturing sites.
