Background
Tipping the end of a plastic tube is one of the value added services and operations we perform for our customers. Tipping involves forming a radius or chamfering the end of the tube to facilitate the assembly of parts. In finished medical devices such as catheters it is used to ease the insertion of the device into the body.

Tipping Capabilities
Through an extensive investment in our secondary services and capabilities, Zeus engineers have developed a broad portfolio of tipping capabilities. Thermoforming technology can be used to radius the tip in a variety of customer-specified designs. Specialty grinding can be used in applications where thermoforming may not be an option.

From pronounced tips to a slight easing of the tube's edges Zeus can perform a range of tipping operations. Over the years we have explored a broad portfolio of tipping configurations ranging from decreasing the ID of the tube as the tip profile changes to a complete closure of the end of the tube at the tip.

Tipping Quality
Our reputation for manufacturing precision tubing was built on our commitment to quality. We bring this same philosophy to the value added services and operations we perform. Our quality department has developed new and innovative inspection methods for the customer-specific parts we manufacture. This philosophy ensures you will receive the quality product you deserve.
