Test methods
Our test methods include crack testing in accordance with EN 100277-1 Table 1, Class 1–4 and ultrasonic testing (Ø0.236-0.984 inch), KSR 0.7 or better.
CAD/CAM disks are available as circular discs or as individual geometries including:
- defined height
- defined edge design, partly with guide collars or circumferential grooves
- with laser inscription on request
- different material conditions depending on the material for optimized further processing
Packaging according to your special requirements.
You get that certain something extra through our processing:
- possibilities of 2D-bending after projection and 3D-bending after bending gauges of stainless steel wires with a diameter of 0.02 to 0.047 inch
- a diameter of up to 0.079 inch is possible for softer materials
The bent wire parts withstand the highest demands:
- strength
- elasticity
- deformability
