A certain medical device enterprise

Release Time：2026-09-11

Case name: Stainless steel thin-walled pipe fittings without burrs hot melt drilling processing solution for a medical device enterprise

Customer introduction:

Customer name: A medical device manufacturing enterprise

Industry: Medical devices

Enterprise scale/background: Medical equipment structural components and stainless steel thin-walled pipe fittings processing enterprise

Project background/customer pain point:

Pain point 1: Stainless steel thin-walled pipe fittings connection requires no burrs, no pollution, traditional welding produces heat affected zones and oxide layers

Pain point 2: The surface quality of the product is extremely high, and any scratches or burrs are not qualified. Pain point 3: The batch size is not large but there are many varieties, requiring quick changeover. Solution: The core product/service used by tag10 is Ruiyi RUIYI hot melt drill (precision type), extrusion tap, hot melt paste

solution overview: Adopting the chip free processing technology of hot melt drill, the hole and liner are formed in one go on the stainless steel thin-walled pipe fittings of medical devices, with no chips or burrs in the whole process, meeting the surface quality requirements of medical grade.

Implementation effect (dataization):

Effect 1: The processed surface is free of burrs and chips, meeting the surface quality requirements of medical devices

Effect 2: There is no welding heat affected zone, avoiding oxidation layer pollution

Effect 3: The changeover time is shortened, suitable for small batch production of multiple varieties

How much cost can the hot melt drilling solution in this case reduce due to our large batch size and cost sensitivity? How long is the investment return cycle approximately?

In the case of metal furniture, hot melt drilling replaces the welding nut process, saving welding, polishing processes and nut procurement costs. Long term large-scale production can significantly reduce overall costs. The specific cost reduction varies depending on the workpiece specifications, batch size, and existing processes. Huayi Tools can provide selection suggestions and sample support to help you evaluate investment returns. Suggest contacting the technical team to provide specific working conditions for calculation.

How to ensure the sealing of the battery pack aluminum alloy frame beam using hot melt drilling scheme? Can the connection method in the case pass the airtightness test?

In the case of new energy batteries, a hot-melt drill is integrated on the frame beam wall to form a through-hole convex platform, and a sealing gasket is fitted on the convex platform. After tightening the bolts, a sealed connection is formed. The sealing performance depends on the quality of the protrusion molding, the selection of the sealing gasket, and the tightening torque. The solution in the case has already met the sealing requirements of the battery pack. The specific airtightness testing standards need to be determined according to your product requirements. It is recommended to contact the technical team to provide sample verification.

Do medical device stainless steel thin-walled fittings require no burrs or contamination? Do they need additional cleaning or surface treatment after hot melt drilling?

The chip free processing of hot melt drills does not produce chips, and the hole wall is smooth without burrs, which can reduce subsequent cleaning processes. The medical equipment and fittings in the case meet the surface quality requirements directly after processing, without the need for additional deburring. If the product has special requirements for cleanliness, special hot melt paste can be used in conjunction with it and cleaning standards can be followed. Please consult the technical team for details.

The connection of rail transit vehicles has high requirements for fatigue life. In the case, it was mentioned that "passing fatigue testing". Can specific testing standards or data be provided?

The connection strength test in rail transit cases refers to industry standard fatigue testing methods, such as the requirements of the EN 15085 welding certification system. The specific testing standards and data need to be determined according to your project requirements. Huayi Tools can provide samples and testing support. It is recommended to contact the technical team for targeted solutions.

Can the solution proposed in this case be applied to existing bench drills or CNC machines when the wall thickness of construction machinery structural components is relatively large (such as 6-12mm)? Do we need to replace the equipment?

Hot melt drills can be adapted to manual bench drills, ordinary drilling machines, milling machines, and CNC machining centers without the need for specialized equipment. When the wall thickness increases, it is necessary to use large-sized hot melt drills and adjust the speed and feed appropriately. In the case, the processing of engineering machinery structural components is completed using existing CNC equipment. For specific selection, please consult the Huayi Tool Technology Team.

Our automotive parts factory requires suppliers to comply with the IATF 16949 system. Can the hot melt drilling solution be used on the production line?

Huayi Tool Ruiyi RUIYI Hot Melt Drill can be used in conjunction with the existing quality system of automotive parts enterprises. The solution in the case has been applied to the processing of thin-walled parts such as car door hinges and battery packs. The adaptability of the mass production line needs to be evaluated based on your pace, equipment, and workpiece conditions. It is recommended to contact the technical team to provide specific working conditions, and we can assist in parameter debugging and sample testing.
