Pulse Technologies services

Pulse Technologies is unusual among contract manufacturers in its ability to offer laser welding to medical device makers. We have a variety of equipment, including Spot and CNC (computer numerically controlled) welders to suit different applications and weld almost any metal. Our equipment and operators are especially adept at welding similar and dissimilar metals and at controlling weld overlap. Among the parts we laser weld are keyed housings and distal jaw assemblies.

We’ve developed advanced laser texturing techniques to create controlled surface roughness for improved bonding strength, particularly for bonding between plastic and metal surfaces of a component or assembly. This process yields a 3x increase in strength on metal to polymer adhesive bonds. We use this approach for a number of vascular and cardiac applications, including precision-welded assemblies and precision-machined parts. Working with customers on specific component parts, we have mastered the process such that it is consistently repeatable and can be offered cost-effectively.
