Universal Positioning and Pre-Swage Tool

Enhanced Precision for Error-Free Pre-Swaging  

The straightforward marker band positioner is a device designed to facilitate the process of loading, positioning, and pre-crimping marker-bands in a consistent and effortless manner.

The PSW100 is the perfect accessory to MSI’s SW155 and SW255S swaging machines. As production volume increases customers can use the same pre-swage and swaging technology while moving to higher levels of automation and control for manufacturing efficiencies.

Functional Overview

To begin, the user loads the bands onto the catheter, utilizing a built-in tray and groove that streamlines the loading process.  The bands are guided into their designated positions by the positioning shuttle. Once the band is correctly positioned, the pre-swaged die locks the band in place on the catheter inner member with the depression of the thumb screw.   The process is repeated for additional marker bands on the catheter.
