Ultrasonic cutting

Blade vibrates at a high frequency (20,000-80,000 Hz) for a cleaner cut, reduced risk of particulate and micro plastics, and increased sustainability

Non-stop operation

Dual-sided de-reelers allow for changeout of tube without machine stoppage

Equipped with IlluminateTM Manufacturing Intelligence to rapidly debug and statistically track throughput

Recommended for:

  • Complex or simple coiled medical tube sets
  • ISO 8 cleanroom: Standard is ISO 8 but can be designed to go lower

Take a Tour of the Coiling Machine

Alex Folz is Systems Design Engineer at ATS Life Sciences Chicago. He’s been the lead Systems Design Engineer on multiple tube set assembly programs during his tenure, including multiple innovation projects relating to tube sets.

In this video, Alex shows the flexible machine working and explains how it handles product variance, the shift from cam-based technology, the benefits of adding synchronous servo pneumatic technology at the station level, mastering consistent tube tension, and meeting the need for this medical consumable.
