The TF 02-03 is designed to form tips for disposable medical catheters produced from thermoplastic material.
The TF 02-03 is designed to form tips for disposable medical catheters produced from thermoplastic material. Forming takes place, when a catheter tube is placed in the glass or nickel mold. The mold is then heated to a specified temperature for a given period of time. The heat causes the plastic material to melt, and the tube is then pressed into the mold, producing the desired tip shape. The shape is stabilized by cooling the tube for a given period of time. The TF 02-03 is designed for one mold. The molds are easily interchangeable.
It is recommended to operate the machine in a clean environment.
To ensure a constant production rate, the heating time is set on one timer, and the cooling timer set on another. The temperature is set on the heater, and the air flow for the heater is set on a pressure regulator. The pressure can be read on a gauge.
Soebygaard Machine Design offers a wide range of standardized glass and nickel molds for tip forming of catheter tips.
