What is Gun-drilling of intramedullary nails + cannulated screws?

Gun-drilling of intramedullary nails + cannulated screws capability for titanium components

Integrated manufacturing capability for Gun-drilling of intramedullary nails + cannulated screws, supported by in-house QC, material certification, and engineering review.

Engineering Parameters & Capabilities

Laser drilling of titanium uses pulsed laser energy to create precise holes through percussion or trepanning methods. Hole diameters range from 0.05 mm to 3 mm with aspect ratios up to 20:1, specifically for screw. Precision screw for Fastener present unique challenges: Thread form accuracy per ASME B1.1 with Class 3A fit. Micro-screws (< M2) require Swiss turning with CBN tooling.

Parameter Primary Method Alternative Method
Hole Diameter 0.05-3 mm 0.5 mm min (abrasive)
Aspect Ratio Up to 20:1 3:1
Speed 0.1-2 sec/hole (percussion) N/A
