Case Study: Claro Precision Engineering Ltd achieves reliable, efficient machining of complex medical parts with Vero Software (Edgecam)

A medical subcontractor uses Edgecam software to focus on its forte of machining difficult, complex parts

Claro Precision Engineering, a North Yorkshire specialist subcontractor with ISO 13485 medical accreditation, machines complex medical components—about 30% on 5‑axis machines—including ankle trial bearings, hip replacement instruments and Ertacetal sleeves for heart valves that demand burr‑free, life‑critical precision. Their challenge was to efficiently program and reliably produce a wide variety of intricate parts across a mixed shopfloor of 3‑, 4‑ and 5‑axis machines while accommodating rescheduling and minimizing setup time.

By adopting Edgecam CNC software Claro standardized programming and leveraged strong 5‑axis capabilities, easy conversion between 3‑ and 5‑axis programs, workflow automation, collision detection and offline tool setup. The outcome was faster changeovers, fewer on‑machine adjustments, hours saved on rework, and consistent, reliable production of thousands of high‑precision, burr‑free medical parts and assemblies.
