In medical device manufacturing, precision and repeatability are key, especially when producing adhesive-backed wearable devices. Delta ModTech, a leader in the field, offers servo-driven presses that deliver unmatched accuracy, helping manufacturers overcome the challenges of die-cutting multilayer medical adhesives.
Why Precision Matters:
When it comes to medical adhesives, even the slightest variation in tension can ruin a product. As Todd Westover, a veteran in specialty converting with 37 years of experience, explains, Delta ModTech’s servo-driven technology ensures that tension is precisely controlled from start to finish. This is crucial when working with materials that vary in thickness and length, such as polyurethane films, foams, and double-coated tapes.
Modular Design for Maximum Flexibility:
One of Delta ModTech’s standout features is its modular design. Machines can be customized with different modules, such as:
- Ultrasonic welding
- Laser cutting
- Island placement
These modular setups allow manufacturers to switch between different operations without changing the entire machine. For example, a machine cutting foam adhesive one day can switch to handling delicate multilayer laminations the next.
Consistency and Quality Control:
Using closed-loop camera systems, Delta ModTech presses monitor the material’s alignment and registration throughout the production process. This ensures that even the most intricate designs are cut with precision and consistency. By adjusting for errors in real-time, the machine reduces wasted material, ultimately improving the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of production runs.
Tooling Expertise:
Westover also touches on the importance of selecting the right tooling. Delta ModTech offers both vacuum tools and punch tools, designed to handle specific tasks like removing internal slugs from adhesive materials or managing intricate cuts. Paired with advanced laser cutting, this ensures the highest precision when working with medical adhesive patches.
Conclusion:
Delta ModTech’s advanced servo-driven technology, modular customization, and real-time quality control systems make it the premier choice for manufacturers of medical adhesive devices. Their ability to handle complex materials and produce consistently accurate results is transforming the way medical devices are made.
