Boston Scientific Improves Cardiac Monitoring Component with Heimatec Speeders

With over 15,000 products, Boston Scientific is a market leader in pacemakers, defibrillators, monitoring equipment, spinal and brain stimulation, stents, catheters, and ablation devices. On one recent cardiac monitoring battery component, the company had an application running year-round on multiple mills, rectangular in shape, consisting of multiple milling operations per part, requiring an operator per mill at all times. Both Mill operations consist of multi-part fixtures as the process involved running Mill OP-1, light hand deburring and prepping the parts for Mill OP-2 fixture & process, following manual deburring step. The overall process was running around seven minutes per part.
