Induction catheter-tipping Benefits
-
Meets tight production tolerances with precise localized heat to small areas creating pinpoint accuracy
-
Increases production rates with faster heating cycles
-
Reduces defect rates with repeatable, reliable heat
-
Eliminates variability from operator-to-operator, shift-to-shift
-
Maintains metallurgical characteristics of the individual metals

Fuse thermoplastic catheter tubes
Heating of the mandrel is from the inside out providing a smooth finish on the outside of the assemblies.
To heat an aluminum catheter tipping die to above 2850F within 2 to 5 seconds for the forming of catheter material.
Heating a catheter tipping die
A two turn plate concentrator coil is used to heat the die. To measure the temperature on the ID and establish the time-to-temperature relationship...
Heat a water-cooled steel mandrel to 700°F (371ºC) to form a high quality Teflon catheter tip.
Plastic Reflow With Catheter Tubing
Heat a metal braid in a plastic catheter tube to 250°F (121.1ºC) so that another catheter tube can be bonded to it.

Is Catheter Tipping with Induction the Least Expensive Process?
Depending on the specific medical requirements and frequency of use induction might not be the most cost effective way to produce catheters. The initial investment and training required could make other heating technologies more financial viable when considering lower output volumes
-
Will Catheter Tipping with Induction Reduce Production Costs?
When high production capacity is required induction heating will reduce down time / setup time / increased speed and higher product quality with less wastage.
