RF TIPPING

The most flexible RF architecture on the market allows medical manufacturers to produce the highest quality catheter tips. The catheter tipping machine is built around a 450KHz, 1KW RF generator - producing enough power for your plastic forming application. An electromagnetic field is created and channeled through customized copper coils, creating just the right amount of heat in just the right locations for tipping or bonding a particular application... Equipment includes liquid cooled RF generator, induction coil and die mounting block. A key step in thermo-forming processes is setting the formed shape by cooling. Liquid cooling is integrated into the RF generator and ported to dual manifolds at the tooling workspace to provide cooling to the die mounting block and induction coil. Liquid cooling of the die mounting block enables better process control and shorter cycle times.
