In modern medical imaging, precision is everything. Devices like C-arms and MRI machines rely on high-quality, curved components to ensure optimal performance. At Sjolund, we specialise in manufacturing precision-bent aluminium profiles tailored to the stringent requirements of medical equipment manufacturers worldwide. Our expertise ensures that these vital components function flawlessly in demanding medical environments.
The critical role of precision in medical imaging
C-arms are indispensable in surgical settings, providing real-time imaging that helps guide complex procedures. Their signature C-shaped structure must be flawlessly curved to ensure accurate imaging and smooth movement. Any imperfection in the bending process could impact the system’s performance, potentially leading to inaccuracies in diagnostic and intraoperative imaging.
Similarly, MRI machines depend on precisely manufactured aluminium components to maintain structural integrity and functionality. At Sjolund, we recognise the crucial role these curved elements play in life-saving medical technology, which is why we uphold the highest standards of precision and quality in our manufacturing process.
From raw aluminium to high-performance medical components
Creating curved components for medical imaging devices involves a highly controlled, multi-step process:
- Premium aluminium profiles: We start with high-grade extrusion profiles that provide the necessary durability and stability for medical applications.
- State-of-the-art bending technology: Using cutting-edge bending techniques, we shape aluminium profiles with millimetre precision, ensuring they meet exact specifications.
- Surface treatment and finishing: To enhance both performance and aesthetics, we apply advanced surface treatments that increase durability and ensure a flawless finish.
- Seamless integration: Our components are delivered fully optimised for final assembly, ensuring a perfect fit into medical imaging systems without the need for additional modifications.
