TechDevice has expanded its core grinding capabilities with the recent investment in new state-of-the-art precision grinding equipment featuring CAM technology and a complementary Profilometer surface measurement system. Now, many more ground core options are possible, and faster, whether it’s for a core only job or as part of a finished guidewire project. In addition, the new equipment provides TechDevice a stellar platform to produce many more component types (not just ground cores) that require tight toleranced precision grinding services.
