How Knowles Powers Precision Miniaturization In MedTech

Knowles is a leader in advanced miniaturization technologies, delivering an unmatched portfolio of capabilities that support the development of next-generation MedTech and industrial devices. Leveraging expertise in micro electromagnetic sensor coiling, micro molding, micro stamping, precision machining, micro-electronics integration, and compact high-density assemblies, Knowles ensures designs are optimized for performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency from the earliest stages of development.

The company’s ISO 13485-certified facilities are equipped with advanced clean room assembly areas and value-added manufacturing spaces, supported by a robust global supply chain. These resources enable Knowles to reliably meet the demanding requirements of applications such as implantable devices, surgical navigation systems, and minimally invasive technologies.

Its miniaturization capabilities include precision-wound micro coils smaller than a grain of rice, PCB-based coils manufactured using advanced lithographic techniques, and larger charging and telemetry coils. Swiss-machined and deep-draw stamped components are produced with tolerances as tight as ±5 to 10 microns, while micro molding delivers high-precision components with the same level of accuracy. Integrated micro PCBA, flex circuits, and micro cable assemblies combine sensing, processing, and interconnects in extremely compact formats.

Complementing these manufacturing strengths, Knowles provides engineering services such as simulation, material selection, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to ensure optimal performance and manufacturability. With full Class 10K clean room assembly and multidisciplinary engineering expertise, Knowles delivers compact, high-performance solutions that reduce complexity, accelerate time to market, and enable innovation in surgical robotics, implantable sensors, and smart diagnostic devices.
