Manufacturing & Production

Orthopaedic implant manufacturing

Kangli machines orthopaedic implants and surgical instruments in-house: CNC machining on DMG 5-axis centres, Swiss-type turning on Citizen Cincom lathes, and vacuum heat treatment in our own furnace. Precision, capacity, and control kept under one roof since 2002, in clean, organised, and eco-friendly workshops.

Every device is machined from a certified medical-grade titanium or stainless billet and finished without leaving our control. Keeping precision machining, finishing, and inspection on one campus means tighter tolerances, shorter lead times, and full confidentiality for the partners who build with us.

The same line that produces our own catalogue manufactures our OEM, ODM, and OBM programmes — the capacity described here is available to build behind your brand.

The Production Line

CNC machining optimised for quality and efficiency

DMG 5-axis machining centres lead the line, and our production quality and efficiency are optimised around them. Citizen Cincom automatic CNC lathes and Haas machining centres round out the CNC capacity, matched to the geometry of each implant and instrument.

The workshops are kept clean, organised, and eco-friendly — the environment around a medical device held to the same standard as the device itself.

The CNC platforms behind every part

A mixed line of 5-axis milling and Swiss-type turning centres, chosen part by part.

Precision machining, Swiss-type turning, and vacuum heat treatment are all kept in-house, so no critical step is outsourced — protecting tolerances, lead times, and your intellectual property.

01

DMG 5-axis machining centres

Simultaneous 5-axis machining of complex implant geometry — anatomic plates, spinal components, CMF forms — in a single set-up for tight, repeatable tolerances.

02

Citizen Cincom automatic CNC lathes

Swiss-type turning of screws, pins, and slender fixation components at volume on Cincom-series lathes, with the surface finish orthopaedic hardware demands.

03

DMG CTX beta 1250 TC turn-mill centre

Turn-mill in one set-up — turning and milling on a long-bed centre, for nails, rods, and rotationally complex components.

04

Haas machining centres

Added CNC machining capacity and redundancy for instruments, fixtures, and higher-throughput runs across the line.

On The Floor

Inside the plant

Photographed on our own floor, in the order a part moves through it.

A billet is cut, turned, and milled in our own bays, then stress-relieved and annealed in our own vacuum furnace. Nothing critical leaves the campus between the raw bar and the finished device.

DMG 5-axis machining centres · Germany

Bay after bay of simultaneous 5-axis machining under one roof — anatomic plates, spinal components, and CMF forms cut in a single set-up. Complex geometry finished on one machine, so tolerance is never lost to a second fixture.

    Automatic CNC lathes

    Bar-fed Swiss-type lathes run in rows, turning screws, pins, and slender fixation parts at volume, with bar stock fed continuously into the cut.

    Turning and milling on one machine, so nails, rods, and rotationally complex parts are finished without a second fixture — and without a second chance to lose alignment.

Thermal processing

Vacuum heat-treatment furnace

Stress relief and annealing are run under vacuum on site, so machined parts reach their specified condition without oxidation, and the thermal history of every lot stays inside our own records.

The Workshop

Clean, organised, and eco-friendly

The environment around a medical device, held to the standard of the device itself.

  • Clean

    Ordered, low-contamination bays protect surface integrity from the first cut through to final packaging.

  • Organised

    A deliberate flow from material to machining, finishing, and inspection, so every lot stays traceable and on schedule.

  • Eco-friendly

    Efficient, responsibly run facilities that cut waste and energy use across the line.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers on our machining, materials, and group companies.

Does Kangli manufacture its own orthopaedic implants and instruments in-house?

Yes. Machining, finishing, and inspection are all done in-house on our own CNC line — DMG 5-axis machining centres, Citizen Cincom automatic CNC lathes, and Haas machining centres — with no critical machining step outsourced.

What CNC machining equipment does the production line use?

The line is led by DMG 5-axis machining centres for complex milling, with Citizen Cincom automatic CNC lathes for Swiss-type turning, a DMG CTX beta 1250 TC turn-mill centre for long rotational parts, and Haas machining centres for further capacity.

What materials are machined, and how is quality assured?

Kangli machines medical-grade titanium and stainless alloys to recognised ASTM and ISO standards, and every device is released under an EN ISO 13485:2016 quality management system. See the Quality & Certifications page for full detail.

Does the Kangli group include other manufacturers?

Yes. The group’s subsidiaries extend its manufacturing across the field — HengTian Biotechnology (bone biomaterials), Gemmed Medical Instrument (instruments and implants), and Mingchuang Medical Technology (disposable surgical instruments).

Can you manufacture to our design or under our brand?

Yes. The same production line runs our OEM, ODM, and OBM programmes — from build-to-print manufacturing of your design to full co-development. See the R&D, OEM & ODM page for the engagement models.
