Catheter Laminating: Reflow
The Cath-Tech (CT) Reflow Chamber is a precision catheter lamination solution that utilizes a strictly controlled and conventional heated chamber while navigating down tubing at a precise and regulated speed. This machine provides highly repeatable and uniform laminations of medium to long-length catheter shafts. The CT Reflow Chamber has process repeatability, high yield, and uniformity […]
Catheter Laminating: Reflow Clam Shell
The CT Reflow Clam machine differs from the CT Reflow Chamber machine because of its ability to be programmed to skip over various parts of a catheter assembly, therefore removing heat from designated parts of the catheter. The CT Reflow Clam uses a split die design that opens and closes around the needed parts where […]
Catheter Laminating: Reflow Roller
The R&D Engineering Reflow Roller boasts eight (8) chambers that continuously feed the product, and enable a quick transition between loads by the operator. This easy-to-control, compact machine is not suitable for micro wall systems less than <2000 of an inch. SPEC SHEET
Catheter Tipping: R&D Radio Frequency
Our Radio Frequency Tipping Machine uses RF energy which improves application processing speed as it automatically starts at the desired temperature. Additionally, it provides more flexibility to the dies when needed. Specifications Typically uses 120 V system, options to use 208-240 vac. single, or 3 phase. Additional specs can be added at customer request. Options […]
Bonding: Hot Box
