ST 02-02 - MICRO PIPETTE - TUBE DIAMETER REDUCTION

The ST 02-02 is designed to reduce the tube diameter in thermoplastic to fabricate a Pipette.

A tube is positioned inside the heating unit.

After process start, 2 grippers will hold the tube, and the tube will be preheated.

After the preheating, the tube will be pulled apart by 2 servo motors.

All Heating and pulling parameters can be controlled by the touch Screen, and different product recipes can be stored to the PLC.

The tube inner and outer diameter is now the tube can be cut into 2 pieces reduced, using the cutting unit.

This is done to prevent the open catheter tip to stick to the mucous membrane, or on the closed tip catheter to allow the drainage function of the catheter. Due to the punch design, the eyes can be punched after the tip forming.

The eye is punched from the top, which leaves a small mark on the inside of the tube. This mark is a quality sign, conforming that the punch excess has been removed from tube.

The punching tools are mounted in a pneumatic driven punch press and are operated by a foot pedal. An electrical switch system can be supplied as an option.

To remove the punch excess, the punching tool has to be connected to both a filter housing and a vacuum pump.

Environment

It is recommended to operate the machine in a clean environment.
