Although this area may not be considered a trend, it is still significant. Improvements in component precision improve the functionally, product performance and feel of many medical devices. Ultra smooth finishes (measured in Ra) allow products to move with little friction. Optical based devices utilize special matte finishes to minimize reflection and absorb stray light.  This compounding has the ability to control many characteristics with consistency and precision.

The methods to control precision are largely performed by controlling process temperatures within the environment and machine. Processing parts utilizing single complex and multi-axis setups combined with inspection monitoring provide consistent parts. These manufacturing methods and other methods optimize Protomatic Inc. to specialize in the manufacture of precision medical devices.  Highly complex components are created in our facility on a regular basis. We offer a wide variety of services and capabilities along with a vast range of material to ensure the most precise, quality part. Our dedicated staff has the experience and knowledge to create even the most complex components, from concept to finished product.

Protomatic has the capacity to produce one precise part, or thousands. Prototype or production, our Facility houses 2-3 Axis CNC Lathes, up to 8 Axis Multi-Axis CNC, robotic feed systems, and 3-5 Axis CNC Mills. In addition to our state of the art machinery, we offer several finishing processes which include media tumbling, micro blasting, polishing, CO2 cleaning, thermal stabilizing, and laser engraving.

Protomatic is a leading manufacturer of medical components with an emphasis on orthopedic, cardiovascular, biomedical, medical device and surgical tools.These components typically require very tight tolerances, and special inspection processes. Our Inspection/Quality division includes vision inspection, 3D microscope inspection, Tally form and Surf profilometers. We have Coordinate Measurement Machines to accurately measure parts as well as precision bore gauges and other instruments calibrated to ISO and NIST standards. We are ISO 9001:2015 and 13485:2016. Our certifications and awards are a prime example of our established position as a leader in medical device precision.
