Manufacturing a wide range of miniature thin-walled tube products requires the highest precision from the cutting and drilling processes used to produce them. The delicate tube material has to be machined without inducing distortion or leaving burrs, and this is where laser systems such as ROFIN's StarCut Tube offer significant advantages when compared to chemical and mechanical machining procedures, according to the company.

Manufacturers of very small machined or molded medical parts and components can now inspect for burrs, surface finish and other defects inside even the smallest components, thanks to the new Hawkeye Pro MicroFlex, fiber optic borescopes manufactured by Gradient Lens Corp.
