Wireform Products

HyTech Spring & Machine’s core product lines largely consist of micro wire springs and various related wireform components. However, our precision wireform products capabilities are certainly not limited to miniature coils and springs. We can manufacture virtually any complex wireform shape or configuration that you’ll find in today’s small electronic devices, aerospace components, and specialized medical equipment – amongst many other diverse product applications.

Tackling everything from micro ultra-fine wireforms to larger sized wire parts, HyTech ensures the highest degree of precision with every custom formed wire component. We’ve engineered unique manufacturing processes and inspection procedures for wire cross-sections to maximize accuracy and repeatability. For example, our highly capable CNC forming machines can accommodate designs ranging in diameters from 0.0005” to 0.500”.

Below, we take a look at some of the wide-ranging end product applications for precision wire form components.

CNC Forming Solutions for Precision Wireform Products

Medical Device Wireform Products

HyTech specializes in producing custom wire forms commonly found in medical device linkages and tips, amongst many other unique applications.

• Wire shapes include: Round, Flat, D, V, Pie
• 100% Vision Inspection Available

Specifically outside of micro spring and coil applications, today’s medical sector utilizes custom wireforms for a wide range of specialized tools and equipment:

• Medical clips
• Surgical staples
• Ligating clips
• Catheter components
• Stents and cardiac devices
