A new standard in medical machining
Bone screws, pedicle screws, and trauma hardware live or die on one feature: the hexalobular socket (TORX®). Cut it in titanium, stainless, or cobalt–chrome and it work-hardens, burrs, and eats tools. We bring Mikron Tool's Hexalobe family — a combined drill and a micro endmill that machine the socket about 50% faster, near burr-free, with a chrome-free coating built for implants — plus the application specialists to prove the cycle time on your machine.
The Hexalobe strategy: two tools, three steps
Four operations — drilling, chamfering, milling, deburring — collapsed into three steps with just two tools. The combined drill does double duty: it opens the bore and chamfer up front, then comes back to deburr.
Drilling titanium at micro scale — deep, fast, in control
Titanium fights back with heat and stringy chips that pack a small hole and snap micro-drills. Mikron's CrazyDrill family answers with coolant delivered right to the cutting edge, an entry and flute geometry tuned to clear chips, and wear- and heat-resistant coatings — so you drill deeper and faster in Ti-6Al-4V and other implant and aerospace alloys without pecking the cycle to death. Built for medical, aerospace, and watchmaking parts in the micron range.

The endmill that mills the lobes — down to ø0.2 mm
A special micro-grain carbide with high stiffness and edge-chipping resistance lets this cutter run high feeds and aggressive stepover while holding the tight hexalobular profile from the first screw to the last. Three flutes on the smallest sizes, four above — in short (3.5×d) and long (5×d) lengths, with dedicated geometries for titanium, stainless, and cobalt–chrome. Same chrome-free eXedur SNP coating as the drill.
