The
MSI Vertical Shrinker, VS1000 is PC controlled
and used to apply high precision heat (ambient
to 750oF) along the length of a catheter providing
consistent, highly repeatable catheter laminations. Integral
to this process is our Microswirl 360° thermal
nozzle which provides superior uniform heating
characteristics and minimizes the incidence
of hot or cold spots during the shrinking process
versus flat or “C” nozzle technologies.
The
touchscreen PC operator interface allows for
saving and retrieving numerous programmable
parameter profiles. Some of these parameters
include: multiple length and speed transitions
within a single cycle. The VS1000 also offers
independent temperature and flow control for
each thermal nozzle. All of these features help
to overcome the problems associated with longitudinal
elongation and uneven recovery of the shrink
tubing versus the use of ovens.
The
MSI Vertical Shrinker features:
• Four (4) station design.
• Independent temperature and flow controls
for each station.
• Six (6) Programmable, rate and distance
settings that are accurate to less than 1mm.
• Profiles can be saved and recalled as
needed easing set up and providing a repeatable
process.
• Highly consistent, repeatable catheter lamination.
