A manufacturer of medical consumables needs an induction heating solution for a catheter tipping application. We were invited to the client’s production facility in India to help with the installation and integration of the new equipment.
Our UltraHeat S 2 kW induction heating system was the most suitable induction heating equipment which could speed up the existing process of forming the catheter for 5 seconds per piece for the smallest tip, and 15 seconds for bigger ones.
In catheter tipping applications the coil heats a steel mold or die, which transfers the heat to the plastic catheter tube to melt it and form the tip. This process requires very accurate control of the time and the power of the induction system. The compact and easy to maintain UltraHeat S 2 kW is a great choice for these applications. The precise temperature control capabilities of these induction heating units are ideal for this type of medical application.
“The system supplied by UltraFlex Power is very good in operation. We have achieved great repeatability in the process. Operation is user-friendly and solving the end purpose of catheter tipping application. SM2/350 machine requires very little space and is easy to handle.”
