The BT-NG machine is a robust and stable thermal bonding machine based on the hot-jaw principle. It incorporates 25 years of experience with the thermal bonding process to provide users with a reliable machine for bonding all sorts of balloon and catheter components. The small stainless steel dies used in the machines have accurate temperature control and heat up very fast.
The BT-NG has a maximum of four cavities that can be utilized at two different temperatures. The cavity position is software controlled.
Thermal Bonding Machine With Fast Changeovers
This thermal bonding machine uses a single exchangeable die and closing gripper unit to support fast changeovers without manual connections. Camera-based alignment is displayed on the user interface, with optional crosshairs for repeatable setup. All bonding parameters are stored as part of a recipe for consistent results.
An optional servo-pneumatic axial compression unit applies up to 10N of force during bonding and can be mounted on either side of the machine.
Key Features
- 10” color touch panel interface with parameter setting and recipe control
- Standard color camera with recipe driven crosshair options for easy alignment of the products by the operator
- Quick exchange die-unit for easy switching between various products
- Stepper position controlled die unit for recipe driven alignment and fast positioning setup
