Hot Air System
The Hot Air System is designed to provide a precisely controlled stream of hot air for such applications as heat fusing, shaping and heat shrink operations, e.g., fuse-welding proximal-to-distal shafts, fusing the distal/inner lumen junction, shaping the balloon neck-to–shaft transition.
Features
- Precision hot air delivery
- Heat fuses, shapes and shrinks
- Accurate temperature control
- Consistent results
- Cost effective
- Safety interlocks
- User Friendly
- Customized nozzles
- Modular design
- Optional tipping and fuse-welding attachments
Description
Different shapes and sizes of air nozzles are available to deliver a focused jet of temperature controlled air to a desired spot. The most often encountered applications for this device are heat fusing, heat shrinking, and shaping operations performed during the catheter manufacturing process. Optional “Bolt-On” attachments are available for catheter tipping and conversion bond (Rx bond) fuse-welding, e.g., fuse-welding proximal-to-distal shafts and fusing the distal shaft / inner lumen junction, shaping the balloon neck-to-shaft transition, etc. These devices substantially increase the utility and production yields achieved with the Hot Air System.
