Marker Band Swager - MBS 200

The MBS-200 Marker Band Swager offers the smallest footprint available and is cost-effective while offering superior 360° swaging performance for gradual and smooth diameter reduction of marker bands for no striations and deformations to the swaged parts.

New one-piece swaging die design simplifies and improves set-up and operation and is easy to maintain for repeatable use.

  • Smallest footprint swaging equipment on the market
  • Improve machine set-up time, wear and maintenance with new one piece die
  • Increase capability for distance between marker bands up to 175 mm
  • Simple to operate with front panel adjustments for catheter advancement speed, distance between marker bands, and swaging frequency, as well as swaging and clamp pressure
  • Lifetime counter for measuring swaging rate of occurrence for wear and maintenance monitoring

The MBS-200 swaging equipment performs simultaneous motions to achieve uniform, precise results and very smooth surfaces. The one-piece swaging die rotates about the longitudinal axis of the swaged part while repeated and rapid closures of the die take place. Simultaneously, the component to be swaged is advancing into the tapered die cavity in a controlled fashion. A secure attachment of the marker band to the catheter shaft is achieved by uniformly reducing the diameter of the band so it is partially embedded in the outer surface of the catheter shaft. The one-piece die is custom made based on the marker band and catheter shaft specifications.

It is simple to operate with front panel adjustments for catheter advancement speed, distance between marker bands and swaging frequency, as well as swaging and clamp pressure.
