Surgical Table Components

Life Health Care contacted Composite Creations in 2007 with regards to producing carbon fibre components for their Image 777 surgical table.

After initial discussions it was determined that the previous method (resin infusion) they had been using to produce these components was neither economical or sustainable. We instructed that high pressure female moulding of carbon/epoxy prepregs would allow for the production of out of mould components with a high gloss finish. Life Health Care accepted this opinion and we were sent off to the toolmaker to discuss our requirements.

While the aluminium tooling and stands were in production Composite Creations was busy moving into a larger facility, installing all the required electrics, producing thermocouple controllers and producing flat pattern cutting files, from the CAD models, for our newly acquired computerise plotter/cutter.

We now produce the 4 major structural components for the Image 777 table which are sent away for CNC machining prior to the table being assembled.
