Fine welding, fine cutting and laser marking in a very wide range of materials can be automated with ease to assist in the manufacture of medical devices.

Following the recent Medical Device Technology Show at the NEC in February 2003 and the MEDTEC show in Stuttgart in March 2003, Rofin-Baasel UK launch a new brochure giving an overview of their portfolio of laser applications in the Medical Device market. Fine welding, fine cutting and laser marking in a very wide range of materials can be automated with ease. Applications covered in the new brochure include: * Fine cutting of tubes (2-axis) and 3-D components (4 or 5 axis system).

* Manual spot welding of medical device assemblies.

* CNC controlled seam welding machines.

* Polymer welding solutions.

* Welding with dynamic beam and fibre optic beam delivery.

* Microstructuring of tools and moulds.

* Ablation of materials.

* Perforation of thin-walled devices.

* Laser marking medical parts for traceability.
