Automated Necking Platform (Model 833-B)

These machines reduce the outside diameter of thermoplastic tubes.  Tubing is heated to a temperature at which the yield strength of material is substantially reduced. The dimensional change is then accomplished by stretching the material in an axial direction. Common applications include: catheter shaft neck-down, heat shrink tubing sizing, polymer tubing layering and tubing jacketing (e.g. jacketing S.S. hypotube shafts or wire braids with polymer tubing).

The 3-Up Automated Necking System Gives You:

• Highly repeatable diameter reductions
• Quick, convenient die changes
• Accurate draw speed and length control
• Precise die temperature control
• Necks three tubes simultaneously
• Accommodates up to 8 feet long

Operating Specifications:

• Minimum Speed 0.1 mm/sec.
• Maximum Speed  30 mm/sec.
• Temperature Ambient – 700 deg. F
• Tooling 1.0 O.D. Drawing-Die Pocket
