Sheet Metal Fabrication for Medical
K-Display provides sheet metal fabrication for medical device and laboratory equipment OEMs. We build the carts, instrument housings, enclosures, and frames that carry the device, to the OEM's released drawings, with the finish, marking, and records the program calls for.
How we contribute
The imaging cart, the analyzer housing, the bed base, and the wall-mounted nurse station all start as cut and formed sheet metal. Those parts decide how the device rolls, how it is wiped down, and how a service technician gets inside.
K-Display's sheet metal fabrication for medical programs covers laser cutting, forming, welding, powder coating, part marking, hardware installation, and assembly, delivered as the subassembly the OEM's production line expects. Device design, verification, and regulatory submission stay with the device maker.
What we make for medical
Part families we build for device and laboratory equipment programs.
- Equipment carts and mobile stands
- Welded or bolted frames, columns, shelves, and caster plates for monitoring, imaging, and medication carts. Base geometry and caster mounting follow the configuration the OEM tested.
- Instrument and analyzer housings
- Formed covers, chassis, and bezels for laboratory analyzers and diagnostic instruments, with cutouts for displays, ports, and vents held to the drawing.
- Electrical and control enclosures
- Power and control boxes for imaging systems, sterilizers, and lab automation, with the mounting panels, entries, and bonding provisions the electrical design specifies.
- Equipment frames and bed bases
- Welded steel bases and support frames for patient-handling and treatment equipment, built to the datums and weld details on the drawing.
- Wall-mounted cabinets and stations
- Nurse-station cabinets, charting stations, and dispensing boxes in steel or stainless, finished for daily wiping.
- Trays, drawers, and internal brackets
- Drawer bodies, sliding trays, and mounting brackets for instruments and consumables, with edges finished for handling.
What medical jobs require
The inputs a device program sends with the drawings.
- Supplier requirements under the OEM's quality system
- Device makers run purchasing controls under FDA's Quality Management System Regulation and ISO 13485. Send the supplier requirements, inspection level, and change-notification terms the program needs, and we build and document to them.
- Cleanable materials and finishes
- Specify the material, finish, and the surfaces that must stand up to routine wiping with the disinfectants the device is labeled for. Stainless steel and powder-coated steel with closed seams and radiused edges are common inputs. We build to the finish specification and mask what the drawing marks.
- Cart stability and mobility
- Mobile medical equipment is tested for instability, threshold crossing, and rough handling under IEC 60601-1. Frame geometry, base footprint, and caster mounting come from the OEM's tested design; we hold the drawing so the configuration that passed is the one that ships.
- Traceability and revision control
- Programs ask for material certifications, lot or serial traceability, and a build that matches one released revision. Tell us which records travel with the parts and where the marking goes.
- Protected packaging and kitting
- Cosmetic covers and finished carts ship wrapped and separated so visible faces arrive unmarked. Specify the kit contents and the packaging the OEM's line expects.
How the work runs
Three steps from release package to packed parts.
Review the release package
We check the drawings, bill of materials, finish and marking notes, and the supplier requirements together before releasing any part to the floor.
Fabricate and finish to the released revision
Cutting, forming, welding, powder coating, and marking run to the revision on the order, with inspection at the points the program specifies.
Assemble, document, and pack
Hardware, casters, and subassemblies are installed to the bill of materials, the records are collected, and parts are packed as kits or finished units for the OEM's line.
