This equipment is used to assemble the catheter tubing to the molded hub and form the tips. Each machine

requires special tooling for each different size of catheter. The tooling is designed for a specific style of

catheter, and can be designed to any hub desired; standard,

winged, or with ports. flanging/flaRing equipment

• This unit is used to form a flange or flare on the I.V. tube where it fits into the molded hub. The flange or flare is required whether you ultrasonically weld or insert mold the two pats together. This system is a shuttle unit, which uses one operator to load one side while the other side is forming.

i.V. tip foRming equipment

• The I.V. Tip forming machine forms a very precise taper on I.V. Catheter tubing. The tubes can be formed after assembly with the hubs or prior to the assembly. Sizes range from 26Ga. to 14Ga. or larger. Tube holding fixtures can accommodate standard hubs, winged hubs, or hubs with ports.

We can create a tip forming system to meet the needs

of your particular application. Our tip forming systems

incorporate the Ameritherm® Solid State RF Induction

Generator, which quickly obtain desired temperatures,

producing fast cycle times.

Combined with solid state electronics, PLC control, and

a programmable touch-screen display, you are getting the

highest quality, and performance from each and every

cycle.

The tip forming system is also equipped with quick change

tooling, allowing multiple size catheters to be run on the

same machine. Our standard tip forming equipment can

produce 1 to 4 catheters at a time, with special systems

capable of producing up to 30 catheters per minute.
