29 Extrusion International 2/2025 “MICRO MEDICAL” Extrusion Tooling Guill Tool & Engineering introduc- es the new Micro Medical, an extru- sion crosshead that uses micro- ne adjustment screws for precise con- centricity adjustment. The precision of concentricity reaches 0.008” or ner per revolution. This single point concentricity adjustment is a unique Guill innovation for the extrusion of thin-walled and precision ID/OD medical tubing. One adjustment bolt controls 360° of adjustment. Features of the Micro Medical crosshead include a patented cam- lock de ector for quick change - overs, with a residence time of one minute at .5 lb/hr mate- rial ow, optimized usage with extruders measur- ing ½” and ¾”, and a max die ID of .250.” Additionally, the Guill Micro Med- ical crosshead offers great exibility to its users. It not only accepts both vacuum and micro-air accessories, but is also ideal for pressure and sleeving applications. Fluoropoly- mer designs are available upon re- quest.

It’s adaptable to a wide vari- ety of corrugated equipment and molds. The Series offers a host of bene ts for OEMs, as well as for au - tomotive and medical applications. The unique tooling includes the multi-port spiral ow design that provides a balanced compound dis- tribution with no weld lines to the corrugator. The elimination of weld lines signi cantly increases the n - ished product’s overall strength. Models offered include 420, 423, 432 and 434. Features of the 400 Series include Spiderless Inline, xed center or adjustable, built in cartridge heaters, adjustable gum space, low inventory, expandable to multi-layer, heated core pin and one-piece body/ ow diverter. Since there are no spider lines, there’s room for more air and no cold legs. Most products should be run xed. Users can change only one com- ponent and become fully adjustable. The cartridge heaters offer even heat for better ow and ensure there aren’t any cold spots. More control of product size is achieved with adjustable gum space. Low inventory results in no burning or stagnation-quick color change. Due to the fact that it’s expandable to multi-layer, the crossheads run a va- riety of products. Lastly, bene ts of the heated core pin and one-piece body/ ow diverter are better tem - perature control and easy cleaning- quick changer, respectively.
