Extrusion International 4-2020

20 Extrusion International 4/2020 INDUSTRY NEWS Davis-Standard will market its extensive line of medical tubing solutions at booth 2R201 during MedTec China, Sep- tember 14-16, in Shanghai. This includes complete systems manufactured in the United States, as well as extruders de- signed in the U.S. and fabricated locally at Davis-Standard’s subsidiary Davis-Standard (Suzhou) Plastic Packaging Ma- chinery Co., Ltd. Davis-Standard supplies complete systems for a variety of tubing applications such as single lumen, multi-lumen, coex- truded and Alternate Polymer® products. This technology supports applications for catheter tubing, endotracheal and tracheostomy tubing, radio opaque tubing, bump and taper tubing, pipette tubing and more. Complete tubing systems are available directly from Davis-Standard’s headquarters in Pawcatuck, Conn., or supplied locally from Davis-Standard’s Suzhou facility. For extruders and extruder upgrades on existing lines, Davis- Standard has expanded its manufacturing capabilities in Su- zhou. All extruders sold in China are engineered and assem- bled to the same specifications as U.S.-based machines while providing localized support and timely delivery. Extruders can be purchased individually or retrofitted to existing lines to improve outputs, stabilize pressure andmelt, and optimize mixing of thermoplastic resins. Davis-Standard’s engineers work directly with customers to determine the best strategy for achieving high line speeds and product tolerance based on application. This regional approach also permits Chinese customers to take advantage of RMB transactions for Davis- Standard equipment without import fees, long transit times, and international shipment costs. In an ongoing effort to strengthen efficiencies and customer satisfaction, Davis-Standard’s Suzhou facility achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification. This validates processes across the board, internally and externally, and serves as a benchmark for the company’s commitment to operational quality and process improvement. Davis-Standard, LLC www.davis-standard.com/medical-tubing HPEMedical Series 38mm& 25mm extruders for multi-layer tubing applications Guill Tool & Engineering www.guill.com/industries/medical/ For over 55 years, Guill Tool has been providing tooling for the aerospace, extrusion, medical, consumer and commercial, defense, wind, oil and energy industries. Due to its years of experience, the company has a highly skilled team of expert machinists engineers trained in the latest CAD, CAM, CFD and FEA programs. Besides being experts in extrusion tool- ing, Guill is a major industrial manufacturer who can provide customers with one-stop shopping for their tooling and other select machine shop needs. The Guill high quality standards are evidenced by the company’s many certifications, including ISO 9001:2015. Defense certifica- tions include AS9100:2016 (aerospace manufacturing), MIL-I- 45208A (inspection system), MIL-STD-45662A (calibration sys- tem), JCP Certified (government contracting), ITAR Registered (export compliant), NIST SP800-171 (cyber security) and others. As part of this new medical machining program, Guill offers 5-axis machining centers, high precision machining, and full wire EDM capabilities with a .008” hole popper. Guill ma- chines super alloys and exotic metals to close tolerances. Guill CNC milling machines offer resources needed to success- fully fulfill the most challenging parts and tooling to keep equipment running efficiently and precisely. The precision of CNC turning is offered for quicker production that meets rigorous standards, regardless of the complexity of the parts. Guill multi-axis machines can produce a variety of sizes, com- plex engineering and geometric intricacies. Prototypemachin- ing and rapid manufacturing enable engineering to develop and innovate solutions with the ability to respond and modify parts. Super alloys and other materials are offered to benefit customers who need new solutions to remain competitive. Finally, wire EDM eliminates the force put on part surfaces. This protects intricate and fragile tooling, as well as providing higher tolerances and accuracy. Machining capabilities range from small hole machining to .008” in diameter and machining material measuring up to 15 inches in all axes.
