Cylindrical Platforms
The Sierra Platform – Flexibility and Power
Visicon’s Sierra Platform was designed to provide common software suite that supports a flexible set of lighting and optics options.
Sierra is Visicon's 3rd generation (FS 80 -> FS 85 -> Sierra) cylindrical platform providing the latest advances in throughput, defect detection and accuracy. It has proven itself capable on a wide range of materials including nitinol, round & flat wire, titanium, stainless steel, and a variety of bio-absorbable materials.
Applications: Coronary and Endovascular Stents and other “stent-like” cylindrical devices such as heart valves.
