INTERFACE CPS1000 COMPUTERIZED PARISON STRETCHER is a system designed to stretch or neck-down tubing parisons in preparation for the balloon forming process. It is easily programmable through the tilt touchscreen and capable of storing multiple program parameters with an operator lock-out option.
Parameters include:
- Stretch speed
- Temperature
- Distance
- Timing
- Tension control (relax)
The CPS-1000 can stretch up to three parisons with consistent results for high production yields. The moveable heater jaws maintain tubing integrity. Tubing is easy to load and clamp into place. The CPS-1000 has a pre-necked tubing tray for operator ease of use. The parison stretcher can handle a variety of tubing sizes and materials, including nylon, polyethylene, polyurethane, PET and more.
How It Works
The operator enters the stretching parameters via the touchscreen to automatically control the sequence, including timing, drawdown speed, distance and temperature, for each stretch cycle. The heater jaws are maintained at a constant temperature to reduce cycle time. The jaws extend during the tube heating process and retract when not in use. The parisons are gripped by air-powered soft clamps located on each side of the heater jaws. These clamps provide a strong grip on the tubing during the heating and stretch cycle to obtain a well-defined transition on the parison. Parisons are formed in one cycle. Once completed, the parisons are easily removed.
