The SLX series is derived from the SL series and has been especially for use in applications in the pharmaceutical, medical and food industries. To reduce machine downtimes, CIP and SIP ("cleaning in place", "sterilization in place") cleaning and sterilization processes are state of the art today. For this purpose, the machine interior is cleaned thermally and/or chemically with high temperature, pressure and aggressive media. The devices of the SLX series are perfectly equipped for use in this area and guarantee maximum reliability and service life thanks to their extremely robust design, a completely sealed stainless steel housing and high media and temperature resistance. KeyFeatures ■ Measuring ranges 10...300 mm ■ Linearity up to ±0.10 % of measuring range ■ High protection class IP68/IP69K ■ Operating temperature sensor up to 200 °C ■ High resistance to aggressive media ■ Customized designs

The confocal chromatic confocalDT measuring system is used for fast distance and thickness measurements. Different sensor models and controller interfaces open versatile fields of application, e.g., in the semiconductor industry, glass industry, medical engineering and plastics production.

The combination of different fiber diameters allows us to design and manufacture progressive filter media in 3D. Our filter media products are exclusively manufactured on production machines designed and built inhouse. Thus we can offer a high flexibility as well as possible customized developments.We offer various media series for different areas of applications (for example automotive, HVAC, industrial and medical applications).

An internationally active medical technology company that produces and sells catheter tubes, among other things, has optimized its manufacturing process with the help of a production line from Metzner Maschinenbau. With Metzner's know-how, it was possible to replace a costly manual process with an automatic machine, saving costs. At the same time, the length accuracy and the cutting quality were significantly improved. The company supplied a fully automatic system that precisely cuts the catheter tubing to length, removes the mandrel present from the extrusion without leaving any residue and without longitudinal expansion, and then deposits the tubing in a collecting container at the end. Processing with exact length accuracy and mandrel removal The Metzner special development cuts catheter tubes to an exact length and removes the mandrel inside safely and precisely. The finished material is deposited in a collection container.

The special Metzner development is a fully automatic machinery consisting of a contact-free loop control, an automatic cutting machine and a crushing station with storage system. It can produce polystyrene pipettes with diameters from 4 to 25 mm and lengths from 100 to 700 mm. The extruded material is first scored with the aid of several rotary cutting heads, then broken and finally deposited in collecting containers. The cycle time for four parts is only 1.5 seconds. For the production of short lengths (up to 120 mm), the cycle time is extended to approximately three seconds.

ELKY special cables pass a strict manufacturing and cleaning process, in accordance with medical industry standards. Fundamentally, we only supply low twist and low tension wires and cables with a clean, high sheen, regular surface finish. We deliver manufactured products with extruded insulation made from bio-compatible materials. As well as the standard materials 1.4301 (AISI 304), 1.4310 (AISI 301), 1.4401 (AISI 316), 1.4404 (AISI 316L) and 1.4441 (AISI 316LVM), all other cabling materials authorised for use can be supplied coated and un-coated. Applications: - Guide cables e.g. for stomach tubes - Hollow cables - Strands for Temporary Myocardial Pacing Wires (monopolar, bipolar and quadripolar) - Surgial cutting strand for example for sternal closure - Strands for vein eraser - Surgical cutting strands - Wire and cables for endoscopic applications - Wire and cables for orthopaedic applications
