High School Students Tour Glebar: An Inside Glimpse Into Machine Manufacturing of Precision Grinders
Glebar hosted high school students from Pearl River High School (NY) for an exclusive VIP tour of Glebar’s Ramsey, NJ, manufacturing facility. The students were exposed to all the steps involved in designing, manufacturing, and assembling a custom precision centerless grinding solution. The group’s day began in the executive conference room. They were shown a case […]
Arthroscopic Shavers (Inner Tube | GT-610 CNC)
Challenge: To grind two mating metal components, with a tight clearance requirement between their surfaces, to create a powered arthroscopic shaver used in orthopaedic joint surgeries. Solution In this application, two tubes are assembled, with as minimum a gap between the two parts as possible ‐sometimes as small as 0.0005” ‐so that the inner tube moves […]
Guidewires (Cycle Time Reduction | CAM.2)
Challenge: Cycle time reduction and a sharp corner needed for a medical guidewire Solution The CAM.2 machine has several modes of operation configurable for different shaped guidewire geometries. In this case, combination of the modes were utilized to successfully grind this part. In the first mode, a profiled grinding wheel is employed to maximize material removal […]
Secure Legacy Machines by Upgrading to Windows 10 | GT-9AC
Current Process: Machines that run on outdated operating systems such as Windows XP or Windows 7 are more vulnerable to malware, viruses, and other security issues. Microsoft no longer supports previous versions of Windows making it difficult to fix operating system related issues generating more downtime until a solution is found. Challenge: Deliver a solution […]

CATH-TECH Liner Stretcher™
DRILLS 440C T The CATH-TECHTM Liner Stretcher uses a combination of heat and tension to process a liner to a fixed mandrel. This automated process eliminates the need for the operator to hand stretch a liner. Our CATH-TECH Liner Stretcher and its process allow the liner to sit tight against the mandrel with minimal relaxation. […]
CATH-TECH Reflow™
Automated Catheter Reflow Cath-Tech™ Reflow (or Laminating) machines are built using our signature convection heating process that provides superior results. It’s designed to maintain consistency and increase overall production. This is achieved by using a precise amount of heat and speed to melt the tubing segments combining the TFE liner and braid to make one […]
Reducing Variability from Manual Work Wheel Balancing | GT-9AC
Current Process Wheel balancing is crucial to achieving a good surface finish on the workpiece and is critical to the spindle bearing life. A technician balances the wheel using an offline, static system manually moving weights. The process is time-consuming, taking 30 to 45 minutes, delaying setup and production. The results are varied and not […]
