Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of capillary grinding equipment, and in particular to a fixture for centerless capillary grinding. Background Technology
[0002] A capillary is a long metal tube with micro-engineered features throughout its entire channel. It is an important component of catheters used in minimally invasive treatments. Capillaries need to maintain a certain strength while being flexible at the distal end to achieve good pushability during use. When advancing along long, tortuous blood vessels, the distal portion needs to be rubbed with a variable diameter.
[0003] This type of variable diameter grinding is usually done using centerless grinding equipment. However, because the outer diameter of the capillary to be ground is very small, usually between 0.3 and 0.5 mm, conventional grinding tool holders cannot provide good support, causing the capillary to shift during grinding, which can easily result in dimensional and appearance defects.
