The Blockwise marker band positioner / precrimper model PMC is a tabletop machine that slides bands along a catheter inner member or other substrate to position them, then lightly precrimps the bands into a hexagonal shape to hold them in position prior to swaging.

The band positioner / precrimper model PMC uses a simple, reliable, mechanical approach to positioning bands, with no optical sensors or vision systems. The PLC control software can be set up by a novice in just a few minutes.
