Advanced extrusion tooling designs for medical tubing applications.


Literature assists medical tubing OEMs and specialized wire manufacturers to select advanced extrusion tooling that is said to enable thin walled designs and the highest quality low volume manufacturing.

The Series 800 and 600 are said to be ideal for those medical/OEM tubing and wire manufacturers that require low volume with extremely tight tolerances and unmatched accuracy, with walls as thin as .0002", according to according to

 the literature.

The Series 800 is said to join the Series 600 to offer users a multitude of benefits, including removable, easy to clean heads that save downtime and labor. These crossheads also incorporate the company's split balanced flow In Atmospheric Science, Balanced Flow is an idealization of atmospheric motion when forces acting on a parcel are balanced. Idealized, steady state Balanced flow is often an accurate approximation, and is useful in improving qualitative understanding of atmospheric motion.  design. This design allows the flexibility of fixed center or adjustable center operation.

Both series are available in single, co- and triple extrusion, and are adjustable to almost any extruder layout. The multi-layer designs also have the option of running single, co- or triple extrusion by simply changing one or two components. The quick change tooling means minimal downtime during production, according to the literature. Both series of crossheads include the company's patented Flow Splitter A flow splitter in hydrological engineering is any device designed to break up the flow of water or nappe over dam wall or weir. Flow splitters are used to reduce the likelihood of nappe vibration that might cause the failure of a dam wall by aerating the water flow. , which is said to provide a reduced extrudate memory set, elimination of dead spots Dead spots are abnormally fast decays of the fundamental tone on stringed instruments and are caused by a damping of the string's vibrations at a given note, due to energy transfer from the string to the instrument body.  and low material inventory.
