Proven durability and diameter consistency

Very easy die replacement for product changeover

Upgradable to touchscreen HMI version

Model SGL (Standard) and SGS (High-Force) Swaging Machines

Simple, manually fed, rotary swaging machines used to attach radiopaque marker bands to catheters, and other applications in medical device manufacturing

Simple model SGL/SGS has no automatic product feeder. The operator’s hand slowly feeds the product into the swaging die. Extremely consistent swaged diameter results from patented geometry-controlled (not force-controlled) swaging die mechanism. SGL/SGS uses exactly the same swaging mechanism as the automatic feed models (SGA/SGB). Durability proven in high production at many of the world’s leading catheter makers.

Each swaging die provides one durably precise final swaged band diameter. Dies changeover takes only 2 minutes, with no shimming, adjustment, or calibration required. Knowledge Base: Swaging Basics

The SGL and SGS models are manually fed by the operator. They are a low-cost alternative to the more automated models.

  • Shortest Process Time Model SGL swages at 100 Hz with no drop in force. Model SGS swages at 75 Hz
  • Most Consistent Band Diameter Because the die fully closes on every blow, the diameter depends only on die geometry, not on any “force” or “pressure” settings, resulting in extremely low diameter variability.
  • Excellent Surface Finish Continuous 360 degree die rotation at 500 rpm for excellent band surface finish.
  • Compact design 60 cm wide by 30 cm deep.
  • Ergonomic Product loaded just above level of worktop.
  • Quick Adjustments Head cover with no hardware, easily changed die.
  • Clean room ready

  • Model SGL – Standard Force

    Simple, manually fed, rotary swaging machines used to attach radiopaque marker bands to catheters, and other applications in medical device manufacturing.
    The standard force model is perfect for platinum, gold, and other soft, ductile metal markerbands. Choose this model unless your product needs higher force to swage.

    Frequency Diameter Range
    95 Hz 0.25 - 4 mm

  • Model SGS – High Force

    Simple, manually fed, rotary swaging machines used to attach radiopaque marker bands to catheters, and other applications in medical device manufacturing.
    The high force model is used for bands that require more force than the standard model. Stainless bands and other similar metals usually require model SGS.

    Frequency Diameter Range
    55 Hz 0.25 - 4 mm
