About the Cannula Needle Crimp & Bend Machine

These self-contained systems automatically feed standard sheathed needles into a dual rotary motion platform and perform the required finishing operations of stripping and disposing of the stock sheathing, bending and crimping the needles to a variety of specified configurations, automatically feeding and installing a new sheathing over the finished assembly, inspecting, and offloading the finished product. Vibratory feeding systems and robotic pick-and-place elements feed the components, while our proprietary Rotary Transfer motion platform delivers smooth, high speed product movement throughout the process. An electrical enclosure with a PLC and all of the required electrical components distributes power and controls mechanical function.

SUCCESS!

In addition to engineering the design and control systems, we built and wired the electrical cabinets and fabricated the machine components in-house. Having direct oversight of the project enabled us to complete the project in just 20 weeks. Successful factory acceptance testing, installation, and training took place and now the customer is achieving their ROI, sales, and production goals.

This machine is quickly becoming a standard product line at Intec as it becomes more and more popular in this high demand and growing industry.
