C85 Automated Mandrel Stretcher
The Beahm Designs C85 Automated Mandrel Stretcher is engineered to streamline, standardize, and automate the mandrel stretching process for catheter-based medical device manufacturing. With dual operation capability (vertical or horizontal), high-pull force, and modular gripping options, the C85 ensures precise, repeatable stretching while reducing labor costs and improving operator safety.
Why Choose the C85 Automated Mandrel Stretcher?
Manual mandrel stretching is inconsistent, labor-intensive, and poses safety risks. The C85 eliminates these challenges with:
- Dual Operation Modes – Use in vertical or horizontal configurations to suit different production setups.
- Variable Multistep Draw Speed – Allows precise control of the stretching process, optimizing elongation based on material properties.
- Modular Mandrel Grip Configurability – Adapts to different mandrel sizes and catheter configurations.
- Configurable Product Gripping – Choose full-length or segmental gripping for maximum flexibility.
- Independent Shaft & Mandrel Release – Prevents unwanted tension, preserving product integrity.
- High-Pull Force for Tough Materials – Up to 300lb (1334N) of pull force, ensuring effective stretching for rigid or high-strength mandrels.
- Stroke Length Up to 12″ – Customizable stretch capacity for various catheter designs.
- Grip-to-Grip Distance: 68″ – Adjustable to fit different product lengths (customer-specified).
- No-Flex Frame & Enclosure – Rigid construction ensures accuracy and durability, even under high-force applications.
- Full Safety Enclosure – Protects operators, reduces EH&S risks, and ensures compliance with workplace safety regulations
Maximize Production Efficiency with Advanced Features
The C85 Automated Mandrel Stretcher is built for high-volume manufacturing and seamless integration into catheter production lines:
- Fully Programmable Stretching – Dial in the exact stretch length and speed for consistent, repeatable results.
- Automatic Recipe Management – Save and recall multiple stretching parameters for different product runs.
- Barcode Entry Option – Ensures fast, error-free setup for repeatable manufacturing processes.
- Customizable Modular Grip System – Tailor the mandrel grip to different materials, diameters, and stiffness levels.
- Designed for High-Volume Production – Built for continuous operation in demanding medical device manufacturing environments.
Ideal for Medical Device Manufacturers
The C85 is the perfect solution for catheter manufacturers, contract manufacturers, and medical tubing producers looking to:
- Increase throughput without sacrificing precision
- Automate manual stretching to improve efficiency and reduce labor costs
- Minimize operator strain and injury risks with full EH&S compliance
- Ensure consistency and product quality with programmable automation
