Precision for your needle and cannula solution: Advanced manufacturing technology at sfm

Precision components, stable processes, and repeatable manufacturing are essential requirements for demanding needle and cannula projects.

With the successful commissioning and validation of our new thermal pull-off system, we are upgrading our manufacturing capabilities for mandrels, needle tubing, and cannula tubing while creating additional capacity for custom OEM projects.

 

Technology for Precise and Stable Manufacturing Processes

The system combines electrical heating with a precisely controlled mechanical pulling process. Wire and needle or cannula tubing are separated without burrs, creating clean, gently rounded ends that provide optimal conditions for subsequent manufacturing processes.

For our OEM partners, this means: high precision, repeatable processes, and a robust manufacturing platform for custom needle and cannula solutions.

 

Performance Data at a Glance

  • Up to 600 parts per minute

  • Length tolerance of ±0.1 mm

  • Processing of wire and needle or cannula tubing

  • Vibration-free machine design for high process stability

  • Intelligent process monitoring with Siemens controls

  • Sound insulation to below 80 dB(A)

The integrated process monitoring system tracks parameters including wire end, wire bending, lubrication, and the actual pull-off process. Combined with the vibration-free machine design and replaceable linear guides, this helps ensure consistently high manufacturing quality.

 

More Possibilities for Custom Needle and Cannula Projects

The new system technology enables significant improvements in the straightness and process stability of thermally separated products. At the same time, the technology reduces maintenance requirements and increases machine availability. This provides a reliable and cost-effective manufacturing platform for a wide range of needle and cannula production requirements.

For us, the new thermal pull-off system is therefore more than an investment in advanced manufacturing technology. It expands our ability to support OEM partners in the manufacturing of demanding, custom needle and cannula solutions.
