PT-2000PVE is a stand along plasma system specifically designed to treat the outside surfaces of the catheters, mandrels, plastic tubes or the like. PT-2000PVE/c is used to treat a distal portion of coiled catheter.
The system is comprised of High Voltage Plasma Generator with flat electrode connected to PLC driven Power Supply with Touch Screen Control Panel. During the operation, the system constantly checks plasma current, gas flow and pressure. If any of the parameters fluctuates beyond specified limit, alarm goes on. Alarm set points and trip delays are programmable and password protected.
The system operates in ambient air at atmospheric pressure and utilizes compressed ARGON or HELIUM to activate the discharge. Special gases or mixtures may be used to create a discharge with specific properties. Plasma treatment zone has specific dimensions defined by a customer.
PLC stores up to ten sets of optimized plasma parameters dedicated to specific treatment processes (recipes). A required recipe can then be easily selected from a list when changing, for example, from treatment of one specific part to another. The system records original setup parameters, all changes in the corresponding recipes, and the alarms. Log file can be downloaded to a regular computer via ethernet connection.
