Narrow grooves, long service life, and an affordable price. Horn demonstrates how keyway broaching in small diameters can be economically achieved. The contract manufacturer Öschger successfully tested the new system on an endoscope component.

A major advantage of the new system is, on the one hand, the stability of the holder system and, on the other hand, the internal coolant supply directly to the working area.(Image:  Horn/Sauermann)

Medical endoscopes are central systems of modern medical technology and serve minimally invasive diagnostics and therapy in numerous medical disciplines. They enable the optical visualization of body cavities and organs in real time and significantly contribute to reducing surgical trauma, shorter recovery times, and increased patient safety.
