Product Summary
The TF-9BHD is also used effectively in the production of catheters due to the 9" wide wheel advantage, superior surface finish can been achieved in one pass on mixed durometer plastic tubing.
Purely physics, the larger the surface area on a grinding wheel, the better the surface finish. A 9" diameter by 8-5/8" long wheel results in a much larger grinding surface than any other equipment used for this application.
The system shown above is equipped with an automatic catheter feeder, a vacuum unloaded, a pressure washing system to clean the wheels automatically and template tracing wheel dressers.
Recently introduced is the TF-9DHD offering all the advantages of the model described above with the addition of motion control on the regulating wheel slide operating in a closed loop with the installed glass linear scale and NEMA4 rated touch screen. The capabilities are enhanced by incorporating automated infeed capability and interfacing to feeding systems and gages.
This coupled with Glebar's experience in plastic, and composite grinding makes this system ideal for catheter manufacturing applications.
Being a versatile piece of equipment, The TF-9BHD can also be configured to produce simple one step guide wires. Although multi tapered wires can be produced on this machine, the TF-9DHD is more adept at performing that task.
