(Plastics Today) -- Metal
stamping and overmolding specialist, Kramski North America Inc. (Largo, FL) has
installed a new 140-ton Arburg 420C Allrounder to injection mold cases, covers,
and buttons for the new RxEnergy NeverDie Series of sterilizable lithium battery
packs for use in orthopedic power tools used in surgery. The job is the first of
two in the battery market that Kramski recently landed, with both prompting
capital investments, according to Glenn Shaw, director of sales.
Kramski is also stamping the beryllium-copper contact terminals for the
RxEnergy battery in-house assembling all components of the battery packs, and
charging, testing, and bar coding each finished assembly. This battery
technology enters the market as a replacement to standard nickel cadmium
batteries, with several purported benefits, including lighter weight, longer
life, and faster charging.
Kramski supplies molded components and assemblies for the RxEnergy
battery systems for use in orthopedic surgical devices.
