C.2 Machined grooves

C.3 Machined threads

C.4 Milled or ground holes

C.5 Drilled hole

C.6 Machined slot

C.7 Machined Notch

Bending

Bending and Coiling of tubing and wire can be offered in a great variety of shapes. Generally speaking, tubes can be bent satisfactorily (without restricting the ID) around a bend radius of minimum 2.5 times the OD, without internal support. Tighter bends are sometimes possible by using a mandril to avoid kinking, but this increases the cost.

Laser

As a contract manufacturer for world renown companies from the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, Unimed has developed its technologies in order to offer the laser markings, engravings and cuttings shown below. Those customizations are commonly found in applications where the needles are used with ultrasound imaging, among others.

Others

Tubular parts can be bulged to provide an external stop for another part, to a maximum of about 1.4 times of OD. Likewise, corsetting provides internal stops to a maximum of about 0.7 times of OD
