Bonjour

Je traduis un document ayant des allures de bilan et traitant d'appareils médicaux.

Dans le cas présent, je me demande si les questions de broyeur/broyeuse d'aiguilles ou, au contraire, d'affûteur/affûteur d'aiguilles ?

"XXX Facility Improves Productivity with Automated ***Needle Grinder***
The VVV plant in XXX is using automation to become more productive and competitive.
In the spirit of Continuous Improvement, the XXX team sought to improve its needle manufacturing process.
Needles are used for all module assemblies in [place], and ***needle grinding*** is an important part of the manufacturing process."

Merci beaucoup !

meule (de rectification et d'affûtage) pour aiguilles
Explanation:
"Meules de rectification d’aiguilles hypodermiques
Meules de rectification d'aiguilles hypodermiques Meules de rectification ou d’affûtage d’aiguilles hypodermique pour le secteur médical, en acier inoxydable. Ces meules sont toujours agglomérées avec liant résinoïde."

"Hypodermic needle grinding

In the hypodermic needle grinding process the needle tip is ground from solid material in one pass. The medical sector often requires the grinding of extremely high-alloy, stainless steel materials.

Besides the tool service life of the grinding wheel, the freedom from burrs is one of the most important criteria for this process. I.e. the cutting edges (outside) and rims (inside) produced by the grinding process should not contain any kind of burr, as this can result in increased pain for the patient when the needle is used and "fraying" of the edges of the injection site, which, in turn, would unnecessarily prolong the healing of the wound.
