Vibratory Finishing
C-Axis offers vibratory finishing services to create smooth, polished, and consistent surface finishes for medical device components. This versatile mass-finishing method is ideal for removing minor burrs, blending edges, and improving the overall surface quality of both small and complex parts. Vibratory finishing supports implantable, surgical, and minimally invasive devices by delivering controlled, repeatable results that meet strict medical standards.
Our vibratory finishing processes are designed to enhance surface quality while protecting critical dimensions and fine features. C-Axis uses carefully selected media, compounds, and time cycles to achieve the desired finish without compromising part integrity or performance. Integrated inspection and process controls ensure consistent, validated results for both prototype and production-level components.
Advantages:
- Smooth, polished surfaces ideal for surgical and implantable components
- Effective burr removal and edge blending without aggressive material removal
- Excellent for small and complex geometries requiring uniform finishes
- Customizable media and process parameters to achieve specific surface textures
- Gentle, controlled finishing that preserves tight tolerances and micro-features
- Improved cosmetic appearance and surface uniformity
- Enhanced performance for components requiring reduced friction or improved cleanability
- Consistent, repeatable results backed by validated processes and quality control
Examples of Vibratory Finishing
- Implantable components requiring smooth, biocompatible surfaces
- Surgical instrument parts that need consistent cosmetic and functional finishing
- Small mechanical components with edges that require controlled blending
- Precision-machined features that must retain dimensional accuracy
- Components prepared for downstream finishing such as electropolishing or passivation
- Prototype and production parts requiring uniform, repeatable finishes

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
