At a special booth in Hall 9, Booth D09 with a total surface of 300m², Siemens will demonstrate the entire manufacturing process for medical parts also in the context of the special exhibition “Metal meets Medical“ initiated by the VDW (Association of German Machine Tool Manufacturers) together with partners from the machine tool sector.The partners from the industry sectors machine tools, tools and measurement technology include DMG, Renishaw, Index, Zoller, Schütte, Iscar and Star. In the Technology Arena, different medical products will be machined live on different machine tools equipped with SINUMERIK 840D sl using diverse technologies. The visitors will be informed about different machining technologies such as 5-axis grinding, turning-grinding, HSC milling as well as technologically possible medical applications. The use of the SINUMERIK 840D sl on the most diverse machines using different machining technologies shows the strength and flexibility of the CNC equipment especially with regard to demanding medical applications. Even highly complex implants can be machined cost efficiently with SINUMERIK with utmost precision and speed. With the SINUMERIK CNC equipment, Siemens provides numerous setup functions for fast retrofitting. Important workpiece-related data such as tools, cutting values, program, zero offsets can be stored and retrieved later. The open HMI and NCK architecture allows to meet the specific requirements arising in the medical sector. The intuitive operator interface SINUMERIK Operate ensures fast and convenient operation and increases the efficiency in CNC programming.

In addition, Siemens will present the fire protection system SINORIX al-deco STD. With its superior cutting speeds, oil cooling and particularly hard materials, fire protection in machine tools is of primary importance especially in medical applications.

The DeviceMed Forum rounds off the exhibition program with interesting presentations covering medical engineering topics. This includes topics such as guidelines and regulations for medical products manufacturing, the general technical and economic conditions and manufacturing processes.
