Our Departments | The Axial Difference

Our shop floor is organized into cells, which increases control and productivity.  To become the best Medical Manufacturer in the country, we heavily invest in automation, increasing our capacity and decreasing costs. This leads to short lead times and better pricing.

5-Axis Milling

5-Axis Milling

Milling is Axial’s largest
department and now contains
over 18 5-axis CNC mills and
mill-turns. We depend on all
5 of those axes to produce our
customers most intricate anatomic
trauma plates and Standalone Spacers.

Swiss Turning

Swiss Turning

At Axial, we challenge the classic expectations of Swiss style machining. Constant innovation has allowed us to
excel in the production of Cannulated Screws, MIS systems and other implants seen as “impossible” to manufacture with swiss-style machining.

Wire EDM

Wire EDM

In the industry, we are known for our
mastery of expandable implant production.
For these implants to function properly,
tolerances must be held extremely tight;
this means wire EDMs are a must! We have
4 FANUC wire EDMs, all capable of holding
micron-level tolerances.

PEEK Machining

PEEK Machining

Our PEEK cell is fully enclosed
and dedicated to 100% PEEK
production. We utilize high
yield programming to maximize
the “parts-per-bar” for our customers.
This expensive material is locked in
customer specific cabinets.

Quality

Quality

Quality is embedded in Axial Medical’s culture. We focus on accountability, best-practices, and continuous improvement. Producing the most complex implants on the market is not easy! To ensure these implants meet customer specifications we heavily invest in the latest metrology and measurement equipment.

Assembly & Finishing

Assembly & Finishing

To decrease cost and lead time
for our customers, nearly all
post processing is done in-house,
including: Passivation, Electropolish,
Laser marking, even Type 3 (color)
and Type 2 (Grey Hard Coat)
Titanium Anodize.
