Irregular Shapes – Bulb Tipping Process | CATHTIP Magnum
A leading medical device manufacturer needed to produce a specialized catheter tip featuring an irregular, bulb-shaped geometry for a minimally invasive medical application. Unlike conventional tapered tips, the complex design required precise thermal forming to achieve consistent dimensions, smooth contours, and reliable product quality.
Case Studies
Double Deck Combination Laminator | Somex Automation
The manufacturer needed a solution capable of laminating multiple catheter shafts simultaneously while maintaining consistent quality, precision, and repeatability across every production cycle.
Case Studies
Automotive Component Press | Somex Automation
An automotive manufacturer experienced inconsistent assembly quality and high defect rates due to uneven pressing force during the installation of light pipes into buttons. The application required a precise, flush fit between tightly mating components, with each press cycle completing eight assemblies simultaneously.
