AUTOMATED PROCESSING OF CATHETER TUBES
An internationally active medical technology company that produces and sells catheter tubes, among other things, has optimized its manufacturing process with the help of a production line from Metzner Maschinenbau. With Metzner's know-how, it was possible to replace a costly manual process with an automatic machine, saving costs. At the same time, the length accuracy and the cutting quality were significantly improved. The company supplied a fully automatic system that precisely cuts the catheter tubing to length, removes the mandrel present from the extrusion without leaving any residue and without longitudinal expansion, and then deposits the tubing in a collecting container at the end.
Processing with exact length accuracy and mandrel removal
The Metzner special development cuts catheter tubes to an exact length and removes the mandrel inside safely and precisely. The finished material is deposited in a collection container. You can get an insight into the machining process in our product video.
Special features
High production output
The cycle time is only eight seconds due to the automation.
Consistently high product quality
Automatic feeding, removal of mandrel, cutting to length and depositing of the hoses guarantee a high quality of the products.
Optimal filling
The finished catheter tubes fall into a movable collection container, which ensures optimal filling of the storage box.
Reduced personnel costs through automatic processing
The automatic processing of the hoses requires less manpower, so the costs are lower. A sensor-controlled changing device for the collection containers allows the system to work autonomously for 4 - 6 hours.
Very high length accuracy and cut quality
Precise cutting of catheter tubing to length and residue-free removal of the mandrel present from the extrusion.
