n Extrusion Designer Tool
Midwest Interventional Systems, Inc., Maple Grove, MN, a contract
manufacturer specializing in the design, development, and production
of catheter systems, has launched an extrusion ordering system.
The IQueue online enables engineers to design and instantly order
single-lumen extrusions. Engineers can easily configure their singlelumen
extrusions to precise specifications, receive instant feedback
on design parameters, and place orders directly through the platform.
The tool eliminates the need for lengthy back-and-forth communications and costly
design iterations, enabling faster project timelines and more cost-effective solutions.

n Spray Drug-Delivery Testing
SGS, Geneva, Switzerland, has expanded its spray drug-delivery
testing capabilities at its laboratory in Wavre, Belgium.
Utilizing the latest Malvern Spraytec system, the company can
now accurately measure droplet size in real time during the
spraying event, typically occurring within a fraction of a second.
Per FDA, sprays are classified as combination products,
meaning the formulation and delivery system must be tested
together. To address this, SGS has paired the Malvern Spraytec system with the Mighty Runt
actuator to precisely assess how factors like device actuation - including pump velocity and
force - and droplet size impact drug delivery.

n 2D Laser Machine
Prima Power, Torina, Italy, has introduced the latest addition
to its 2D laser technology portfolio. The Platino Linear®
n Fluid Control Handbook
The Lee Company, Westbrook, CT, has released
the 10th edition Technical Fluid Control
Handbook for Health & Science. The handbook
contains detailed
technical information
about a wide
variety of the company's
products,
including solenoid
valves, pumps, manifolds,
and other
precision fluid control components used in
medical and scientific instrumentation and diagnostic
applications. It features more than
300 pages of technical specifications, including
dimensional drawings, part numbers, installation
information, and educational tools to
help designers save on space and weight and
maximize system performance. Several new
products have been added, and updated existing
product information and added resources
make it easy for designers to find the best product
to suit their needs.

has a
synthetic granite frame and aluminum carriage, providing high
accuracy, which is critical for manufacturing precision medical
components that require exact tolerances. ECO-TOUCH Cut reduces
gas consumption by up to 40 percent, minimizing the environmental
impact of production processes. The unit's compact design allows for efficient use
of cleanroom environments. Additionally, its maintenance-free linear drive system ensures
consistent performance and reduces downtime. Features include Smart Cut and Gas Mixer
Cut to optimize operations and reduce cycle times.

n Grinding Platform
ANCA, Wixom, MI, has released a peel grinding platform
designed to reduce cycle time. The MX7 platform offer
seamless finished tool grinding in a single setup, including
blank preparation. The setup features the P-axis Arobotech,
which supports blanks at the grind point, enabling the efficient
production of various tools with a surface finish below
0.2 Ra. Equipped with six wheel packs, the platform supports the grinding of various tool
shapes in a single setup, eliminating the need for wheel changes. A specially designed hydraulic
pump controls the clamping pressure based on diameter, including up/down pressure,
to achieve faster cycle times.

n Metric Worm Gears
KHK USA Inc., Mineola, NY, offers a line of metric
worm gears, manufactured by Kohara Gear Industry Co.
of Japan. The quiet worm gears provide smooth transmission
of power and are suitable for a very wide range of
applications where a large speed reduction is required in
a compact space. The worm gear pairs are offered in many modules, numbers of teeth, and
reduction ratios. Available materials for worms include carbon steel (S45C), Chromalloy
steel (SCM415), and stainless steel (SUS303). Worm wheels are available in cast iron
(FC200), nonferrous metals such as phosphor bronze and aluminum bronze and engineering
plastics such as MC901 nylon.
