The invention relates to an automated punching station for the production of punched components for prosthetic surgery instruments, in particular for instruments able to mill/cut or otherwise carry out tissue removal processes in preparation for, or in the context of, prosthetic surgery operations. The invention also concerns a method to produce said punched components, and a punched component thus obtained.

Automated punching station for the production of punched components, punched component and relative production method

A robotic working line and associated method for the production of cutting bodies for prosthetic surgery instruments starts with hollow untreated components and includes an automated three-dimensional laser cutting station with a first automated operator configured to pick up untreated components from a transport support and supply it to a laser cutting apparatus having a second automated operator provided with a laser cutting head that is configured to make both through holes and optional auxiliary apertures to obtain semi-finished components. An automated grinding station receives the semi-finished components and includes a third automated operator configured to place each of the semi-finished components in cooperation with one or more grinding tools in order to obtain ground components. An automated punching station includes a fourth automated operator to place each of said ground components in cooperation with a press device configured to perform a punching working on each hole.

Prosthetic element including a metal cap having inside an acetabular seating and method to make it. At least part of the cap is a lattice having open and intercommunicating cavities. At least part of the lattice is formed, without a continuity break, by geometric meshes of polygonal shape repeated in space over all or part of the body, having a cellular geometry with elementary cells open and contiguous, to define a plurality of polygons with spatial development delimiting the cavities. Each geometric mesh has a first polygonal part with four sides, each of the sides being an angled segment, and a second part being an angled segment and a third part being an angled segment. Each angled segment has first and second consecutive rectilinear segments forming an angle at an intersection of each pair of its first and the second consecutive segments. The first polygonal part has non co-planar vertexes.

An insert for an acetabular cup includes an insertion body having an external surface shaped to be able to be coupled with a mating seating of the acetabular cup. The insert includes at least a friction element positioned on the external surface to determine a predefined friction with the surface of the seating, so that, during use, the friction element prevents the relative rotation of the insertion body and the acetabular cup.

Insert for acetabular cup

A hinge is provided between bodywork and a door of a motor vehicle. A stationary bracket is fixed to an upright of the bodywork and includes a base with a hole. A movable bracket is fixed to the door and a pin connects the stationary and movable brackets. A torsion bar has a wheel/cam follower for engagement with a cam on a connection element. The stationary bracket, torsion bar, cam follower and connection element comprise a sub-assembly and the cam and cam follower are located intermediate the height of the hinge. The movable bracket includes a boss with an opening. Upon linear movement in a direction parallel to the hinge axis, the boss may be disposed about the pin with a connection element and movable bracket cooperable to prevent relative rotation therebetween whereby accurate assembly is achieved.
