Concentricity
Ease of Use
Adjustable or Fixed, Tip or Die
We offer a number of methods for adjusting concentricity to maximize the desired amount of pressure applied to a substrate between the tip and die. With our heads you can make the adjustment to the Gum Space, Tip or Die.
New to our line is our Single Point Adjust, with one bolt you are able to control 360° of adjustment. Read more below.
New UNICAM™ Crosshead - Featuring Universal Adjustment
Universal Adjustment System + Cam-Lock™
Guill’s most recent innovation comes in the form of a crosshead purpose-built to
be more user friendly and adaptable for any operator. The Unicam derives its name from a combination of advancements made to two of our most tried and true patented technologies; the Single-Point concentricity adjustment system, and the Cam-Lock fastener-free assembly system.
On the front of the head, the new Universal Adjustment system allows the user to choose to use either the traditional 4-bolt method of concentricity adjustment or the Single-Point style of concentricity adjustment.
Optional Micro-Adjust screws allow for very fine adjustments if the application requires it. On the back of the head, the newly improved Cam-Lock system allows for the head to be disassembled with a single turn of a wrench for very quick and easy color changes or cleanouts.
The need to struggle with hammers and pry-bars to disassemble the components for cleaning is also a thing of the past, This means that with just one half-turn of a wrench, you will typically be able to clean or change colors and start the line again in less than 10 minutes.
Single Point Adjust™
Precise Concentricity Adjustment
Our new Single Point Adjust offers micro-fine adjustment screws for precise concentricity adjustment. The precision of concentricity reaches 0.008” or finer 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. Our Single Point Adjust is available on new Crossheads up to 1.250″ Die ID and is retrofittable to most Guill crossheads. We also have Fluoropolymer designs available.
FeatherTouch™ Adjustment
Adjustable Die Holder System
We offer the patented FeatherTouch™ adjustable die holder system for precision concentricity adjustment using a small 6-inch wrench. The die holder with the end cap fully tightened requires little pressure to make adjustments. The FeatherTouch™ cartridge system of components is assembled at Guill and requires no further attention or maintenance.
