TEXTILE & RF WELDING SERVICES
Assembly of complex products using specialist techniques
Assembly of medical fabrics, films and textiles is one of Arrow Medical’s special skills, including medical device projects under ISO EN13485:2016. Complex products have been produced using precision fabric assembly techniques allied to RF welding, precision cutting, punching, multi-layer assembly and forming. A wide range of materials can be assembled using semi-automated sewing machines and RF welding stations, with capacity extending from 1,200 by 900mm to 220 by 60mm, with power outputs of between 3 and 15 kW. This allows polyesters, PVC, polyurethane, flame bonded laminates and films to be assembled, sewn and/or welded into complex sets to our customer’s specification.
Radio frequency welding provides a reliable and consistent sealing method with high inherent levels of cleanliness and biological compatibility, and is a flexible technique. It can be used as a single process or in conjunction with gluing or sewing to provide high integrity products for a number of applications, extending from inflatable mattress components to complete products to aid vascular specialists and other clinicians with complex treatments. All components and sub-assemblies can be branded using precision screen printing,. Full packaging and labelling/bar coding can also be provided.
Arrow Medical is one of the few RF welding companies in the UK accredited for medical device assembly. RF welding services can be integrated with any or all of our other manufacturing capabilities, including screen printing, die-cutting, sewing and many more, to give you an end-to-end solution of the greatest quality. We are equipped to handle requests of any size, from prototype to mass production. Our goods are ASI-compliant, and we service customers from a variety of industries. We fuse many layers of material together to form impenetrable bindings that resist tearing, ensuring products retain their appearance and integrity for an extended length of time. The RF seals are hermetic and leak-proof, preventing liquids from infiltrating or exiting depending on your product. The RF welding services we offer and sealing devices can handle both large and tiny items, and because the energy is concentrated on a very limited portion of the material, the seam is very clean.
