New dies fine-tune tiniest medical tubes. (Keeping Up With Injection Extrusion).Two toolmakers recently introduced tiny spiral dies that have different methods of fine-tuning concentricity con·cen·tric also con·cen·tri·cal adj. Having a common center. [Middle English concentrik, from Medieval Latin concentricus : Latin com-, com- + Latin and thickness of micro-size tubing for neurological neurological, neurologic pertaining to or emanating from the nervous system or from neurology. neurological assessment evaluation of the health status of a patient with a nervous system disorder or dysfunction. and catheter applications. Guill Tool & Extrusion Co., West Warwick West Warwick (wôr`wĭk, –`ĭk), town (1990 pop. 29,268), Kent co., central R.I., on the Pawtuxet River; set off from Warwick and inc. 1913. Textile manufacturing remains a leading industry. West Warwick includes the village of River Point. , R.I., adapted its Feather Touch adjustment of the die holder and ball assembly (see photo) to micro-tune layers as thin as 0.0005 in. for three-layer catheter tubes. The ultra-low-volume, stainless-steel crosshead cross·head n. A beam that connects the piston rod to the connecting rod of a reciprocating engine. Noun 1. crosshead - a heading of a subsection printed within the body of the text crossheading die has a 0.375-in.-diam. spiral core and makes tubes with up to 0.5-in. OD. Quill's Seal-Right system also prevents die leakage. Meanwhile, Genca in Clearwater, Fla., recently built a micro die with the first application of its Ball-Adjusted Tip (BAT) technology. This monolayer mon·o·lay·er n. 1. A film or layer one molecule thick formed at the interface between water and either oil or air by a substance such as a partially esterified fatty acid that contains both hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups in the same spiral die makes neurological tubing with 0.005-in, wall thickness and is capable of adjustments as fine as 0.0002 in. The BAT micro die can also apply coatings as thin as 0.0005 in. onto tubes or fine wires. Guill Tool: (401) 828-7600, www.guilltool.com, Genca: (800) 237-5448, www.genca.com |
