Coil Winding

C-Axis provides precision coil winding services for medical device components that require tightly controlled wire profiles, consistent tension, and reliable electrical or mechanical performance. Our advanced winding equipment supports micro-scale and complex coil geometries used in implantable, surgical, and minimally invasive devices. With strict process control and expert engineering support, we ensure each coil meets the demanding functional and dimensional requirements of today’s medical technologies.

Our coil winding capabilities are built around accuracy, repeatability, and process reliability. C-Axis maintains precise control over wire tension, pitch, diameter, and coil geometry to ensure consistent performance across every production run. Our experienced team understands the unique challenges of medical coil applications and integrates winding operations seamlessly with machining, inspection, and finishing processes for complete component manufacturing.

Advantages:

  • Tight control of wire tension and pitch for consistent coil geometry
  • Precision winding for micro-scale and small-diameter coils
  • High repeatability ideal for implantable and minimally invasive device components
  • Capability to wind a variety of materials including Nitinol, stainless steel, and specialty alloys
  • Smooth transition from prototypes to production with validated processes
  • Integrated inspection to confirm dimensional accuracy and coil performance
  • Expert engineering support to optimize coil design and manufacturability
  • Stable, controlled processes aligned with medical device quality and regulatory standards

Examples of Coil Winding Applications

  • Guidewire and catheter reinforcement coils
  • Coils for minimally invasive delivery systems
  • Micro coils for implantable devices
  • Nitinol and stainless steel reinforcement structures
  • Precision-wound components for surgical and mechanical assemblies
  • Prototype coils for early-stage design testing and evaluation

We look at C-Axis 360 as an opportunity for our customers to save weeks of development time by having their project team come into our facility. Here they are assigned a C-Axis team (an Engineer, Technician, and Machinist) to work with to complete multiple iterations in one sitting, helping to improve the R&D timeline. Instead of doing things in series, our customers can do multiple potential design iterations in parallel and save six or seven weeks in their NPD cycles. — Olson
