“Our rotary forming machine can reduce or form the
tubes partially or over a long distance. In both cases
the process guarantees an outstanding precision.
After all, we are working with tubes with an external
diameter between 1.5 and 8mm”. These fine tubes
are used in endoscopy, emergency medicine and
much more. They also play an important role in
the hospital equipment, the care equipment and
sterilization processes. As a very special connection
technique is required in this case, it may be necessary
to use lasers for the cutting during the forming of
the tubes.
Alternative forms of lubrication
The manufacturing of formed tubes for medical
technology is done in laboratory-like conditions or
in „clean rooms“. In order to prevent contamination,
the forming machine cannot always use the usual
techniques. Therefore, ceramics or special metals
with specific coatings are chosen as materials for the
tools, to meet those requirements.
