CT Mandrel Puller/Stretcher
CT MANDREL PULLER is a simple machine designed to pull out mandrels from any type of catheter tubing. This machine can be equipped with either Servo or Pneumatic controls depending on operational needs. We have several different ways to grip the mandrels and offer mandrel handling after the unit is completed.
Description
Using R&D Engineering as a resource, we’re able to identify the best way to pull the mandrel from the unit, and can be as simple as loading and unloading the machine with the assembly. Various machines can be customized from 1 up unit to a 10 up unit . Machines are typically designed around the more complex challenging. We are equipped to identify the hardest spot and design the most appropriate gripping issues and turn them around to find the “Sweet Spot”. This will give the ability to break the unit free from the mandrel, thereby pulling the mandrel with greater ease.
