Kuntz has developed innovative medical tube processing systems that facilitate automating coiling, taping and cutting operations using sophisticated, yet simple mechanisms. Kuntz' model QC 3000 servo-driven Quill Coiler operates at high speed, is robust and reliable. The machine offers simple PLC controls, a Touchscreen panel and a quiet gear belt coiling drive. The Quill Coiler processes tubing from 1/8" to ¼" O.D. in coil diameters from 2" to 5" or as specified by customer.

The system consists of a multi-position indexing dial fitted with winding pins arranged in a triangular or square configuration. The pin assembly, or coiling nest, also features a simple means of ejecting the completed coil from the coiling nests. The cutter mechanism features a smooth sinusoidal slice action motion for clean, square cuts. The taping station is engineered with a simple tension regulated payout and elegant roller clutch tape feed.

BENEFITS:

• Simplicity, low maintenance requirements and competitive price.
• Adjustable tension control of tubing payout with provisions for static elimination.
• High operating speed (up to 45 coils per minute) ensures high production throughput and profitability.

Other unique tube processing designs offered by Kuntz include a Tubing De-Reeler Mechanism for unwinding PVC tubing. This inexpensive unwind unit can be used with manual cut and assembly lines, or as input to automatic tube handling machines. A variety of other special production systems are available as well.

The WC601D Rotary Blade Tubing Cutter is capable of cutting a wide variety of materials such as flexible polyurethane, flexible PVC, nylon reinforced hose and rubber hose from 1/2" to 1-1/8" OD (12.7mmø to 28.5mmø). To optimize production and accuracy, five variable feed rates give the operator control to choose an appropriate setting for the application at hand. The WC601D cuts tubing to very tight specifications as required for medical applications. The belt feed eliminates crushing of material along its length and on the cut ends. The programmable batching feature can retain 99 programs in memory for frequently run jobs. The rotary cutting head consistently produces clean, square cuts.

The Eraser Company offers the WC601 Series Automatic Wire and Tubing Cutters. The units cut flexible tubing up to 1-1/8" OD (28.5mmø) into lengths from .100" (2.54mm) up to 99,999.99 inches or millimeters to very tight specifications such as those required for medical applications. Each unit has a batching feature, five feed rates offering production flexibility, and is easy to set up and use. The WC601 Series Cutters use a self-centering belt feed mechanism to achieve the utmost length accuracy without crushing the material. The cutting system consistently produces square cuts perpendicular to the axis of the material.

Pegasus takes tube-bending to a new level - Aerospace quality. At Pegasus you can find tube bending and forming from micro-tube to 3.5" outside diameter. In thin or heavy wall, you can order tight radius bends to large sweeps. Our strengths include rotary draw bending and multi-radius compound bending, with ram and rotary end forming capabilities. We handle all tubing shapes, round, square, rectangular, and custom extrusions in a full range of materials. Our Romer 3000I series, a non-contact, portable inspection device, gives our tube bending even greater precision as the device has an 8 foot measurement envelope for handling any bent tube inspection requirements with full printout inspection report generation. We also create complete assemblies using MIG or TIG, spot welding, high temperature brazing, and silver solder .

From beginning (in-house CAD) to the "end" (end formers crisp cut off and inspection), your project is in good hands. And, we offer such a wide variety of options and services that your specs will be met or exceeded with service, thinking and quality. Got a challenging application? That's why you call Pegasus, decades of experience get you excellent results on thin wall, tight radii, compounds, or short distances between bends.

Square Mailing/ Shipping Tubes

Square mailing and shipping packaging tubes provide superior strength and protection over commonly used corrugated boxes and can eliminate the need for secondary materials like angle board, strapping, etc.

Custom size mailing & shipping tubes can provide the exact dimensions and strength characteristics necessary for any application. Square tube eliminate material handling issues commonly associated with round tubes (rolling off conveyors, getting smashed in transit, etc).

Tubes can be made in a variety of materials, including recycled papers.

Closure systems:

• Plastic plugs
• Corrugated plugs
• Wood plugs

Andrews Glass produces, designs, and shrinks precision bore tubing in round, capillary, fluted, tapered, rectangular, square, and hexagonal shapes. Complex configurations, including internal threads, end belts, and other changes in bore size are produced to exacting specifications. Working in borosilicate, fused quartz and other types of glass, we maintain tolerances up to + 0001" in a wide range of inside diameters and lengths.

Andrews proprietary shrinking technology allows you to take full advantage of the unique chemical and mechanical characteristics of glass (especially low expansion borosilicate glass and fused quartz). Characteristics like transparency, optical stability, chemical inertness, impermeability, nonporosity, light transmission, low thermal conductivity, dialectic properties, and compressive strength greater than steel make glass the ideal material for use in solving a variety of engineering problems.
