Medical Device Tubing Measuring and Cutting Apparatus

The objective of the project is to automate the measuring and cutting of medical tubing. The team designed a machine that accurately and precisely cuts tubing of various materials and diameters quicker than the current manual method. The machine accepts orders for tubes via barcode scanning or manually from a PC user interface. The ultimate goal of the project is to provide Ventana Medical Systems with a machine to automate its current manual tubing manipulation process that can be implemented on the manufacturing floor.
