INTERCARAT is specialised in rubber molding.

The rubber compounds used meet the high specifications for pharmaceutical and medical applications like FDA and USP class 6.

Recently, INTERCARAT has developed solutions for masking of a large range of implants like cup, hip, knee and tibial components, based on FDA molded Silicon rubber masks that are very well adapted for the plasma spray coating of Titan or HAP, and for sandblasting too.

The masks are put very easily on the implants, just before the coating process.

This solution increases the security and the productivity of the masking step, by replacing the use of glassfiber strip sticking with silicone glue.

Indeed, the use of the strip has several disadvantages: firstly it needs very much time of high experimented workers, secondly there is each time the risk of contamination due to residue of the glue.

In a single production process, 5-axis machining centers perform machining operations on 6 sides using a counter spindle.

The goal is to avoid multiple production cycles for machining a complex part or to abandon the use of additional and complementary production units. The process starts from a bar or blank to a finished part produced on an single compact machine, optimizing floor space, part handling, and cycle times thus obtaining the best ratio of productivity.

From an early-stage project, customers will be supported with adapted machine configurations, time studies, and prototypes or small series to ensure a successful project.

The application department will study and develop an optimized manufacturing process to get the perfect part in the shortest production time, speeding up part time-to-market as well as enhancing client’s profitability. Combining flexibility, small footprint and efficiency, Bumotec machine lines are known as being user friendly facilitating production parameters, machine setup and training.
