✨🎄 Die Weihnachtszeit steht für Mitgefühl, Gemeinschaft und Zusammenhalt. 🎄✨

Wie jedes Jahr haben wir das Kinderhospiz in Bad Grönenbach .nikolaus mit einer Geldspende unterstützt 💝 und noch neue Fensterbilder für die Zimmer vorbeigebracht 🪟❄️.

Zusätzlich haben zwei Mitarbeiterinnen für die Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner des Seniorenheims in Babenhausen kleine Geschenktüten gepackt 🎁 und persönlich verteilt 🤍.

Alle Beteiligten haben diese besonderen Momente mit viel Herz 💫, Wärme und persönlichem Engagement gestaltet.

Für all diese Begegnungen sind wir von Herzen dankbar. ✨

📣 OMTEC 2025 is coming, we will be there! 😊. Extrude Hone will showcase its finishing and machining solutions, especially for Knee implants.📍 in Hall G, Booth 759.

📌Knee implant, spinal implant, HPLC tubes, diverter, mass spectrometer ion blocks, and tablet press tooling are among the top applications that benefit ✨ from the Extrude Hone technologies.

📌 What do we offer?
Surface enhancement, recast layer removal, flow tuning, deburring/micro-deburring, edge rounding, or non-conventional machining solutions 💡 for special shapes.

📣This year, we will highlight the knee intercondylar box and cam ECM machining as the strongest challenger for CNC milling.
Check the knee implant webpage: https://lnkd.in/diwtDMvk:

📌 Extrude Hone offers a perfect electrochemical machining solution when strict dimensional tolerance and parallelism requirements are needed to finish the intercondylar zone (the central section of the box) and the cam zone.
📌 The smoothness of the ECM operation, leveraging metal dissolution, enables us to avoid common milling defects such as shadows generated by tool path misalignment, axis ball screw wear, and tooling wear.
📌 These benefits stem from ECM’s unique ability to machine complex shapes in hard materials with high precision and minimal stress on the workpiece: ECM’s efficiency compared to CNC milling remains high for difficult-to-machine materials.
📌 The ECM Machining cost for the box and cam area is down to $1.60 per piece, compared to approximately $11 per piece with CNC milling. 💲 🫨

Our commitment provides winning and safe solutions 💪 to the most challenging post-processing needs. Some of the biggest names in the medical industry trust us 🤝 .

Hakan Toykoc, Ph.D. Outstanding achievement 👏 ! It’s fantastic to see such interest in AFM technology. Impressive developments are ahead of us, thanks to Hakan.
As Hakan said, this model could reasonably predict the media temperature, heat generation, and heat transfer in the AFM process. Hakan's team verified the prediction results against some experimental results that had previously been collected.
As heat significantly influences the viscosity and consequently the cutting impact, including the heat transfer-related dynamics directly into the CFD model will improve the process prediction. We are looking to implement that in Extrude Hone machines. We are always excited to deliver the best customer experience.
I encourage you to read the post from Hakan on LinkedIn and the original article available here:

📣 Interested in Knee implant machining? Learn how Extrude Hone's ECM machining solution for the intercondylar box and cam beats CNC milling. 👏 ECM reduces machining costs from 11 USD to 1.60 USD 💰 .

📌 We packed all the information in a new webpage, including a superb new 3D animation 🎬 showing how we do this. You can find it here: https://www.extrudehone.com/industry/medical/knee-implants/
Electrochemical Machining (ECM) is a well-known process for productivity improvement.

📌 Above all, ECM shines because it can tackle hard-to-machine materials without batting an eyelid. Let's explore this further. CNC machining efficiency will decrease as the material becomes challenging. CoCr, a traditional material for knee implants, will represent a considerable challenge, drastically reducing CNC machining efficiency. The ECM machining efficiency for CoCr will drop slightly but remain seven times more efficient than CNC.
Regarding tool life, as ECM is a non-contact process that dissolves the material, the cathode lifetime will sustain cycle after cycle without needing replacement. In contrast, CNC machining requires multiple tool replacements for the same number of machined parts.

📌 We touch on productivity. You can process four knee implant boxes and cam areas simultaneously, achieving a cycle time of 90 seconds per part.
But that's not all.

📌 Quality?
You can count on a 0.55mm (0.022in.) material removal, dimension tolerances within 0.1mm (0.004in.), and parallelism within 0.05mm.
(0.002in.), and surface roughness below Ra 0.2μm (8Ra μin.) among the ECM machining achievements.
You do not need an extra finishing operation with ECM, as you simultaneously shape and finish the box and cam area.

That summarizes all the necessary information to encourage you to learn more if you are in knee implant machining.

✨ Gemeinsam für das Kinderhospiz Bad Grönenbach ✨

Am Montag, den 16.12.2024, konnten Werner Berlage und Denisa Zenuni dem Kinderhospiz St. Nikolaus in Bad Grönenbach ein kleines Geschenk im Namen aller Mitarbeitenden und des Unternehmens Extrude Hone übergeben 💛

Dank der großen Spendenbereitschaft unserer Mitarbeitenden, sind 1.003 EUR zusammengekommen, welche dann zusammen mit weiteren 1.000 EUR des Unternehmens an das Kinderhospiz übergeben wurden 🎉 Dies ist zwar nur ein kleiner aber dennoch wichtiger Beitrag, die großartige Arbeit aller Mitarbeitenden des Kinderhospiz zu würdigen und die Weiterführung dieser Institution sicherzustellen.

Die Begegnung mit Herrn Holger Mock (Referent für Presse- und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit im Hospiz) und seinem Team hat uns einmal mehr gezeigt, wie wichtig die Arbeit des Kinderhospizes ist. Mit viel Liebe, Mitgefühl und Engagement schenken sie den Kindern und ihren Familien einen Ort der Geborgenheit und Unterstützung in schwierigen Zeiten.

Nächstes Jahr werden wir unser Engagement dort fortsetzen und wieder aktiv am Crosslauf des Kinderhospizes teilnehmen – gemeinsam für eine gute Sache! 🏃‍♂️💨
Ein riesiges Dankeschön an alle, die zu dieser Spende beigetragen haben. Zusammen können wir Großes bewirken 🙏✨
