Crosshead features single-point concentricity adjustment ❍ The single-point concentricity extrusion crosshead from Guill

GUILL Tool & Engineering, of Rhode Island, USA, has introduced a new single-point concentricity extrusion crosshead that uses 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 Guill innovation for the extrusion of thin-walled jacketing and precision ID/OD tubing. One adjustment bolt controls 360° of adjustment. Features of the single-point crosshead include a patented cam-lock deflector for quick changeovers, with a residence time of one minute at 0.5lb/hr material flow, optimised usage with extruders measuring ½" and ¾", and a max die ID of 0.25". Additionally, the Guill single-point crosshead offers great flexibility to its users. It not only accepts both vacuum and micro-air accessories, but is also suitable for pressure and sleeving applications. Fluoropolymer designs are available upon request.
