CNC Machined PEEK Patient Positioning Block for Medical Imaging Fixtures
This product case focuses on a CNC machined PEEK positioning block used in medical imaging fixture assemblies. The component supports a repeatable curved contact or accessory location while keeping the assembly lightweight, cleanable and stable. The manufacturing focus is smooth profile machining, counterbore accuracy, insert fit, edge quality and protective packaging.
Application
The block can be used in medical imaging fixtures, patient support accessories, coil support brackets, calibration fixtures and positioning rail assemblies. It is suitable for prototypes, pilot builds and low-volume precision production.
Material and Hardware
PEEK provides a strong, stable engineering plastic option for fixture components. Stainless inserts, bushings or screws can be added for durable assembly interfaces, while aluminum rails may be supplied as mating parts when required.
Machining Features
The block includes a curved support channel, counterbored mounting holes, side slots, radiused edges and optional insert pockets. Polymer machining requires sharp tools, controlled heat and stable clamping to avoid deformation or poor surface finish.
Quality Control
Inspection can include curved profile, hole position, counterbore depth, flatness, insert fit, edge radius and visual surface condition. Optical measurement or CMM reporting can be prepared for critical dimensions.
Packaging and Supply
Parts can be packed in custom foam trays with inserts, screws and rails separated in bags. Lot labels, inspection reports and material certificates can be supplied according to order requirements.
FAQ
Can the PEEK block geometry be customized?
Yes. Curved profile, hole pattern, slots, insert pockets, material and edge radius can be made according to customer drawings.
Can stainless inserts be supplied installed?
Yes. Inserts can be installed when the drawing defines material, fit and installation method.
Is this suitable for prototype quantities?
Yes. Prototype and small-batch orders are suitable for fixture development and verification.
How are curved support surfaces inspected?
They can be checked with CMM, optical scanning, radius gauges or profile templates depending on tolerance.
How are PEEK burrs controlled?
Sharp cutters, optimized feeds, light finishing passes and careful manual deburring help keep edges clean.
Can hardware be packed with the blocks?
Yes. Screws, inserts and mating rails can be separated in bags and packed with the blocks as a kit.
