The laser cutting machine for processing medical needle tubes

(Click 99 )

Medical needles are a common medical device used for collecting, delivering, and injecting drugs, and are widely used in various injection and blood collection operations. Usually, medical needle tubes are composed of metal needles and plastic tubes, while some are made entirely of plastic. According to different departments and surgical requirements, some medical needles need to be punched and require high precision. In this case, laser cutting machines are usually used to complete it. There are two main purposes for using laser to drill holes on medical needles: one is to improve the puncture effect, making injection or blood collection smoother; The second is to reduce pain perception and enhance patient experience.

The drilling principle of a laser cutting machine is to use a high-energy density laser beam to focus on the surface of a small workpiece, rapidly heat and evaporate the melted material, thereby forming grooves or holes.

Laser cutting machines have multiple advantages for drilling holes:
① Laser drilling has the characteristic of high precision, with a beam diameter of up to micrometers, which can accurately control the aperture and position to avoid errors.
② Laser drilling has high efficiency, is easy to operate through a computer, and has fast processing speed, resulting in extremely high production efficiency.
③ Laser drilling has strong adaptability and can be processed on materials with different characteristics such as soft, hard, and brittle, and is almost applicable to any material.
④ Laser drilling does not require consumables and does not cause damage to the surface of the workpiece in non-contact processing technology, saving additional costs such as modeling.
⑤ The software and hardware functions of the laser cutting machine are flexibly matched, providing personalized function configuration and intelligent production management solutions, such as automatic loading and unloading, visual automatic positioning, etc., reducing labor costs.
⑥ Laser cutting machines can achieve graphic drawing requirements covering various changes through technology, and can complete drilling tasks on various non planar surfaces such as concave and convex surfaces, inclined surfaces, and curved surfaces.
⑦ The surface of the hole processed by the laser cutting machine is flat and smooth without burrs, and the incision is smooth.

In the manufacturing process, first place the needle tube in the appropriate position and adjust the required parameters on the laser cutting machine. Then use a laser beam of appropriate power to perform fixed-point drilling on the needle tube. This can achieve precise control of the punching position and size, and avoid unnecessary damage.

It is worth noting that the following factors need to be considered when using a laser cutting machine for drilling: firstly, selecting appropriate power, frequency, and duration to ensure the expected effect is achieved; The second is to ensure the safety and sterility of the operating environment, and prevent cross infection and other issues; The third is to select appropriate process parameters based on different types of needle materials.
