Expanded silicone tube extrusion capabilities cut it close
Expansion of medical silicone tube extrusion capabilities includes new systems by Sil-Pro, LLC, Delano, MN, for in-line close tolerance cutting of silicone tubing directly from the extrusion machine as well as in-line spooling and cut-to-length from a spool. The systems provide new design options. Extruded silicone tube sizes range from ID/OD of .020 to 1.0 in. of single lumen, multi-lumen, solid rope, and rod tubing. Dimensional control of the tubing throughout the part run is ensured by Closed-loop feedback from a Zumbach laser micrometer provides dimensional control of the tubing. Also available are processes for overmolding onto silicone tube and bonding silicone tubular parts to plastic and metal parts using medical grade adhesives. Pad printing on silicone tubing of identification marks for positioning purposes and/or lot traceability is also available. Optional color
