Stent production requires maximum precision. Precision, which only a laser device can provide for cutting tasks. In developing the Speedcutter Twin Trotec has created a unique tool that has revolutionized the manufacture of this kind of implant.
Parallel and automated
As a single laser system for the production of stents the Speedcutter Twin is equipped with two identical air-cooled laser fiber sources capable of cutting two stents simultaneously. Furthermore, lasers distinguish themselves through their absolute reliability with minimal maintenance. The space-saving system is equipped with an innovative automatic loading system that holds the tube being fed in perfectly in focus.
Solid construction for continuous operation
The rugged granite construction of the machine ensures absolute rigidity and therefore greatest repeatability. Consequently, the system can be operated fully automated and produce stents 24 hours a day - a huge economic advantage for the operator, offered by no other system. With the included and already pre-tested and installed intuitive software new geometry settings and stent designs can be created and implemented within a very short period of time. Flexibility for both the manufacturer and customer.
