The medical stent laser cutting machine is a high-precision laser micromachining device specifically designed for medical implants, such as cardiovascular stents and neurointerventional stents. Utilizing ultrashort pulse laser technology (e.g., picosecond/femtosecond lasers), it meets the micron-level precision cutting requirements for biocompatible metal materials like nitinol (nickel-titanium alloy), cobalt-chromium alloys, stainless steel, and titanium alloys. This equipment is widely used in medical device manufacturing and biomedical engineering.
Advantages of Medical Stent Laser Cutting Machines
Qingniao medical stent laser cutting machines employ ultrashort pulse lasers to process stents with wall thicknesses of 0-0.3mm, achieving micron-level cutting accuracy (±5μm). They support the fabrication of complex mesh structures,( 68269396,openwork patterns), and functional grooves.
Femtosecond laser cutting: Ultra-short pulse energy breaks chemical bonds via multiphoton absorption within a timeframe shorter than material heat diffusion, minimizing heat transfer. Material is removed as plasma, eliminating heat-affected zones (HAZ).
Picosecond lasers generate slightly longer pulses but with minimal heat accumulation. Cutting combines photoablation and localized thermal effects, resulting in a submicron-level HAZ—smaller than fiber lasers—ensuring stent mechanical integrity and biosafety.
Compatible with nitinol, cobalt-chromium alloys, cobalt-based alloys, titanium alloys, 304/316L stainless steel, magnesium, aluminum, zinc, and more. Supports uniform/tapered tube cutting, drilling, and grooving.
Optional continuous automatic feeding systems and dry/wet cutting sealed collection systems enhance processing efficiency.
