Medical and consumables medical catheter potting: two-component epoxy case study

Background

An equipment integrator / manufacturer in Medical and consumables needed to potting on a medical catheter using two-component epoxy.

Process challenge

Particle fillers settling and clogging after long idle periods.

Solution

We recommended Screw Valve + Sensor, with adding regulated supply with a drum pump for continuous feed to suppress pressure ripple.

Result

• Volume drift held within ±3% over an 8-hour run.
• Shot volume 0.1 mL with deviation within ±2%.
• Cycle time 0.4 s per dot with no stringing or dripping during continuous running.

Project facts

• Industry: Medical and consumables
• Workpiece: medical catheter
