DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROCESS-OPTIMIZED AND CYCLE-OPTIMIZED PRODUCTION OF HOLLOW BODIES FROM A TUBULAR BLANK

摘要

The invention is directed to a device and a method for process-optimized and cycle-optimized blow-moulding of balloon components for medical catheters, wherein hitherto separate process steps are combined in one process step, by a suitable tool configuration, and hitherto time-intensive cycle steps are considerably shortened within one process step and their qualitative moulding result improved. The tubular blank remains in the moulding device throughout the entire moulding process, across a plurality of process steps, and does not have to be repeatedly manually removed during the moulding or inserted anew into the device.
