The Glebar GT-610 EZ is a lean version of the GT-610, bringing slide motion control to the operator at an affordable price point. Operating on a much smaller footprint than the competition, this system excels at thrufeed grinding hard materials such as steel, carbide, PCD inserts, and technical ceramics. Slide positioning allows...
The Glebar P4K Gauging System is the world’s fastest and most accurate profile metrology system available for long parts or multiple short parts. It is the industry standard for measuring medical guidewires. It can scan multiple single parts or one long part in one operation. Inspectors simply clamp the part in the fixture and in one mouse click ...
Challenge: A food equipment manufacturer approached Glebar to improve productivity and reduce costs for their food filler machines. The metal spout requires grinding for several reasons. They come in contact with food, therefore requiring a smooth finish for sanitary purposes. The tubes ar...
Current ProcessZirconium tubes are cut one at a time using carbide tools on a lathe. A lathe cutoff leaves burrs requiring deburring to achieve a smooth surface finish. Carbide tooling wears quickly when cutting zirconium and is expensive. ChallengesDeliver a cost-effective process to cut zirconium tubes which reduces the numbe...
Challenge: To eliminate additional processes in the production of guidewires. The conventional process uses several machines to profile a shape in an interventional guidewire.SolutionGlebar eliminated pre- and post- processes by incorporating them on a CAM.2 machine in one operation. Wire can be supplied in cut form or can be l...
Challenge: A Medical device customer needed to rapidly changeover between a family of Nitinol guidewires having various lengths and geometries. Since the geometry of the components varied in length, the customer needed to change tooling over frequently, a process that can take up to 4 hours. Also, rapidly removing over 30% of the the material ...
Challenge: Lack of a clear, simple method to inspect the geometric profile of many components. Existing systems are slow, unreliable, and complex to operate.SolutionGlebar’s P4K gauging system was designed to inspect components ranging from medical guidewires and arthroscopic shavers to titanium fasteners and medical bone drills with the pus...
The Manual Medical Tubing Roll Cutter trims rough-cut braided tubing to precise lengths with square, burr-free cuts. The 70M was designed to bring safe, ergonomic and precise braided tube cutting to lower volume production areas that are not ready for high speed automated equipment. Designed to be cost effective for production volumes up to 200...
