Taper Grinding

Tapered profiles on stainless and nitinol wire for mandrels and guidewires.

Component Supply specializes in precision taper grinding for the formation of both simple and complex geometries on guidewires and mandrels. Utilizing advanced grinding techniques, we create controlled, gradual diameter reductions on stainless steel and nitinol substrates to enhance distal flexibility and optimize device performance. In addition to continuous tapers, our capabilities include plunge grinds and step-down profiles to meet specific dimensional and functional requirements.
