TF 04-02 - TIP FORMING WITH 4 STATIONS

The TF 04 is designed to form tips in disposable medical catheters produced from thermoplastic material.

Forming takes place when the raw catheter tubes are fed into the 4 glass or nickel molds, which is then heated to a specific temperature, and held for a specified time, using hot air. The TF 04 uses 4 programmable linear servo motors for automatically feeding the catheter tubes. This guaranties a precise tube feeding, whereby a constant and repeatable quality of the tip is obtained. All forming parameters can be stored to products that allow fast and efficient product change of tube sizes and materials. The TF 04 is designed to handle 4 molds at a time; while two molds are heating up, the other two are cooling and vice versa. Forming parameters and recipes are easily controlled via a 5.7’ PLC touch panel. All parameters of the forming process can be easily accessed, and a fast feedback is given during setup due to the linear servo motor.
