A company’s catheter-tipping system is suitable for tipping and welding almost all thermoplastic materials. It features programmable controls, a stepping motor drive for precision feeding, and quick-change tool design. Manufactured for industrial use, the machine is powered by a 1-kW at 450-kHz radio-frequency generator. Machining capabilities include round or irregular tips, multilumen shape transitions, soft-tip fusion, neck-downs, butt welds, angular welds, and balloon-to-catheter welds. Operating in a Class 100,000 cleanroom, a company produces

Products & Services
Welding and Fabrication Services
Welding and fabrication services provide customized metal forming and processing, typically on a contract basis. Capabilities are usually not limited to welding and fabrication, and may include design consulting, on-site operations, prototyping, and other useful industrial procedures.
Pipe Flanges
Flanges are used to connect pipes, tubes, hoses, and similar structures.
Plastic Valves
Plastic valves are made from plastic materials and are used in applications that require corrosion resistance and/or chemical handling.
Water Valves
Water valves are designed to handle and control hot water, cold water, ground water, potable water, salt water and/or wastewater. They are made from metal or plastic.
Plasma Welding Machines
Plasma welding equipment melt areas with an arc and then use a high-velocity, high-temperature ionized gas to make welds.

Product Announcements
Welch Fluorocarbon, Inc. - Thermal Impulse Heat Sealing
Heat sealing is the thermal fusion of two (or more) melt-bond compatible thermoplastic materials. All heat seals require the precise control of heat, time, and pressure to create a quality weld. (read more)
