What cleanroom manufacturing means at Axenics:

Cleanroom manufacturing is a full production discipline, not just a controlled room. Axenics maintains Class 100 (ISO 5) certification through continuous air filtration, positive-pressure control, and rigorous cleanroom entry procedures that ensure zero contamination from personnel.

Tools and fixtures are pre-cleaned and vacuumed before entry, while unapproved materials such as paper and cardboard are prohibited. These measures create repeatable, contamination-free results that meet the most demanding semiconductor and life science standards.

Manufacturers across semiconductor, medical device, and high-purity industries continue looking for ways to improve system performance while reducing unnecessary complexity. One area that can have a major impact is tubing layout. Excess fittings, difficult routing paths, and inconsistent fabrication can all introduce challenges that affect performance over time.

Axenics provides precision tube bending services and fabrication support for manufacturers that require cleaner routing, fewer fittings, and improved system reliability. In many applications, custom tube bending can help simplify assemblies while supporting better overall performance. Learn more:

Manufacturing Strategy Should Be the First Step

Many organizations still treat manufacturing as something that happens after design is “done.” Drawings are released, specs are locked, and then manufacturers are asked to make it work.

At that point, the best options may already be gone.

Material choices, tolerances, weld access, assembly sequence, cleanliness standards, and documentation requirements all shape how a system can be built. Once those decisions are made, manufacturers are forced to work around constraints instead of optimizing for reliability and repeatability of the process.

Bringing manufacturing expertise in early doesn’t slow things down. It reduces the rework that may otherwise show up later.

This is where Axenics fits naturally into the process. Learn more:

Manufacturing strategy matters to align fabrication, assembly, cleanliness, and validation requirements from the start.

If You’re Seeing Contamination in Your Fluid System

Contamination does not always come from the fluid itself. In many cases, it is introduced by the system.

We see this most often at the weld. When welds are not tightly controlled, defects like lack of pe*******on, internal oxidation (sugaring), or slight joint misalignment can create microscopic crevices and rough surfaces inside the flow path. These are easy to miss during fabrication but show up quickly during operation, whether as particle generation, biofilm risk, or failed cleaning validation..

Other internal irregularities can include:

- Small crevices where fluid can collect
- Irregular internal surfaces that shed particulates
- Areas that are difficult to fully clean or flush
- If contamination is recurring or difficult to trace, it may be built into the system.

We approach this potential challenge by focusing on internal weld quality, not just structural integrity. That means controlled parameters, repeatable procedures, and fabrication practices designed to minimize disruption inside the system. Learn more:

If you see contamination, the plastic weld quality may be the source, not the material. Weld quality matters more than some teams expect.

Ensuring Safety and Purity with TIG Welding

Inspection is integral to TIG welding for medical device manufacturing, guaranteeing the delivery of pristine, defect-free components. All raw materials, such as stainless steel tubing, undergo rigorous inspection to detect and rectify any imperfections before welding commences.

Post-welding inspections include meticulous leak testing and comprehensive quality assessments to confirm that components meet stringent medical standards before they reach original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). This thorough testing process assures manufacturers that every component integrated into their medical devices is completely reliable and free from defects.

Technological advancements consistently challenge welders to refine their techniques further. Axenics recognizes this evolving demand, investing continuously in training their welders to master complex welding projects. Learn more:

TIG welding is an ideal choice for the manufacturing of medical device components, as it is the highest-purity form of welding.

The right component manufacturing company specializes in producing specific types of components for your industry. They should also be able to perform a wide range of manufacturing services, such as welding (ideally, both metals and plastics), tube bending, tube cutting, simple and complex assembly services, and more. You may not need those additional services today, but knowing you have room to grow with this partner will alleviate the need to start over again when your needs change.

We’ve all experienced the shift in market demands over the previous year. One major challenge for all tiers of manufacturers is fluctuation in business volume. One day demand is high. The next it dips. A strong manufacturing partner brings balance to your production by meeting demands on a temporary basis when needed without the requirement of investing in production space and technicians that sit idle.

A lean manufacturing partner is also a wise choice. We utilize a fully-integrated material requirements planning system for planning and inventory control to minimize wasted materials, space and time. Learn more in our resource:

There are some key differences between assembly and manufacturing. Axenics has 40+ years of experience in both assembly and manufacturing jobs. Learn more!

Is orbital welding the right solution for you?

Before getting into the orbital welding process, it’s important to assess whether it’s the right solution for your project. Answer these questions:

What type of tubing does your project use, and does it need to remain the same?

What is the size and diameter of the tube to be welded?
How many fittings are needed to complete the delivery system of tubing?

How much space is required between weldments and tube fittings?

What kind of tube finishing is needed?

Does Axenics have the right head for the orbital welding machine in-house, or is a custom head required?

If You’re Seeing Contamination in Your Fluid System
Contamination does not always come from the fluid itself. In many cases, it is introduced by the system.

We often see this as a result of weld consistency. When welds are not tightly controlled, they can create small internal irregularities easily missed during fabrication that show up during operation.

That can include:

- Small crevices where fluid can collect
- Irregular internal surfaces that shed particulates
- Areas that are difficult to fully clean or flush

If contamination is recurring or difficult to trace, it may be built into the system. Learn more:

Axenics leverages the CLAMS method to ensure consistent quality and precision by focusing on:

Current: Maintaining a stable arc to reduce defects such as porosity, inclusions, or incomplete fusion. Welders continually monitor arc behavior and adjust in real time to ensure consistency.

Length: Controlling electrode distance to avoid tungsten contamination, weak pe*******on, or unwanted spatter. Consistent arc length produces reliable welds across varying shapes and materials.

Amperage: Dynamically adjusting heat input with foot pedals to achieve full pe*******on without warping thin materials or producing cold, brittle welds.

Manipulation: Skilled, rhythmic movement of torch and filler material creates smooth and deliberate beads, from straight lines to circular welds on tubing, delivering repeatable excellence.

Speed: Balancing travel pace ensures strong and defect-free joints while preventing overheating or incomplete fusion.

In industries where precision and reliability are non-negotiable, TIG welding plays a pivotal role in ensuring product performance and regulatory compliance.
