Assembly of polymers
Starting with raw materials, STATICE is able to ensure the assembly of parts or components and manufacture complex implants. The assembly of components can be done manually, by semi-automatic machinery, or binocular systems in an ISO 5 controlled environment, and/or machinery designed for repeated assemblies; the technology used is regrouped into 3 main groups:
- Gluing: cold or hot silicon glue, UV acrylic cyanoacrylate, epoxy resin
- Welding: ultrasound welding, high frequency, electrical, thermal-welding, laser, brazing
- Mechanical assembly: riveting, clipsing, setting, forced bushing
Surface treatment
Depending on the characteristics required, several different surface treatments are available and can be applied:
- Plasma to improve gluing or for surface cleaning
- PVP or HPMC silicon and plastics induction
- Silicon or parylene coating to reduce friction
- ®Teflon
For ergonomics, traceability, appearance, or aesthetic reasons, STATICE is able to offer a selection of materials and systems:
- Laser engraving
- Mechanical engraving
- Tomography
- Serigraphy
