Model TTR2 Radial Force Tester

The next generation of balloon wrapping is here. The new Model VC2 balloon wrapper (balloon folder) builds on a proven, industry-standard platform—trusted worldwide for reliability—while introducing several key advancements that make it smarter, more productive, and more intuitive. Key Enhancements 15.5″ (39 cm) Touchscreen HMI – Larger, glove-friendly interface with simplified recipe management, streamlined calibration, and manual mode for R&D. Dual-Product Track (Patent Pending) – Wrap two balloons at once. Double productivity without adding cleanroom footprint. Revamped Control Systems – Updated pneumatic and temperature control deliver a new standard in precision and repeatability. Redesigned Product Carrier – Ergonomic, flexible design makes it easier than ever to load and run products. Backwards Compatibility – Continue using pleat and compression stations from previous VC models for a seamless transition. | The Blockwise Radial Force Testing Machine Model TTR2 is a tabletop machine designed to measure the radially-outward force of a stent or similar device, as a function of its diameter The TTR2 uses a rotating-nut-type stepper motor linear actuator to move the input arm of a low-friction radial compression mechanism. Motion of the input arm causes the opening diameter to change. The diameter of the opening is measured by an encoder on the stepper motor. The linear force is measured by a precision force transducer and converted to radial force. Various sizes of Blockwise metal compression stations may be attached to the machine. Compression stations can be quickly removed and replaced. All of the compression stations feature low friction and linear relationship of stroke to diameter.
