Fields of Application
Finishing systems for implants, instruments and precision parts
Medical devices and precision engineering demand controlled material removal, low vibration and repeatable surface quality on stainless steel, titanium, cobalt-chrome and other high-value alloys.
LUPFIGS supplies matched SUHNER micro-motor, pneumatic and flexible-shaft systems with fine abrasives for fine milling, high-speed finishing and mirror polishing on implants, instruments and intricate precision components.
Industry Demands
What precision finishing requires
Every medical and precision application places strict limits on vibration, heat input, surface integrity and process documentation.
Low VibrationMicro-motor handpieces for stable milling, blending and polishing on small features
Mirror FinishesFine grit sequences and controlled pressure for reflective, defect-free surfaces
Micro DetailCompact tools for cavities, radii, threads and intricate geometries
Heat ControlCorrect speed and abrasive selection to protect alloys and thin sections
Process ValidationDocumented methods that support quality control and regulatory requirements

Match Material
Select abrasives and speeds suited to stainless, titanium or cobalt-chrome.
03
Control Removal
Use the right handpiece and grit sequence to protect surface integrity.
04
Refine Finish
Progress through grits to the specified mirror or functional result.
05
Validate & Support
Document the method, train operators and keep consumables consistent.
