Norman
Noble, Inc. specializes in the precision micro
machining of high-tech parts and components. Our expertise
with exotic, hard-to-machine metals, such as NiTi (nickel
titanium) is unmatched in the industry.
The machining of nitinol presents specific challenges for contract
manufacturing. However, the combination of our experience and advanced
machining processes makes Norman Noble, Inc. the best source for
micro precision machining of nitinol products. In fact, Norman Noble
machines nitinol products for some of the most prestigious names
in medical device manufacturing.
Processes
We machine
nitinol products with the most advanced processes, including
laser cutting, Wire EDM, Swiss machining, and other types
of ultra-precision CNC machining. Considering the uses for
nitinol, especially in medical applications, this micro-machining
accuracy is essential.
- Laser
machining – We operate
the largest laser machining facility
in the world and offer: laser cutting,
laser drilling, laser etching,
laser marking, laser welding, laser
prototyping, and a full Laser R&D
Department.
- Wire
EDM – We are known
as “the house of EDM” because
of our expertise with all types
of EDM machining: Wire EDM, plunge
edm, conventional edm.
- Swiss
machining – Our
capabilities with swiss automatics
include a variety of machine types
with specific functions, including
Citizen Swiss, Deco 2000 and Escomatic
machines.
- CNC
machining – Our
comprehensive contract manufacturing
operation also includes CNC lathe,
high-speed CNC milling, and 7-axis
contour milling.

Capabilities
The accuracy of the micro precision
machining of nitinol is crucial in the manufacture
of NiTi products. Laser cutting quality significantly
affects the subsequent production stages: nitinol shape
setting and electropolishing.
Because our laser cutting quality is so high – with exceptional
hold on tolerances and dimensions – the quality of the finished
product is superb.
The engineers and technicians at Norman Noble, Inc. are unequalled
in their expertise with micro precision machining. Their understanding
of processes and product requirements makes our contract manufacturing
capabilities second to none. A full-time Laser R&D Department
explores laser micromachining and development options for each
project. It is what gives us precision laser machining capabilities
beyond those available anywhere else.
