General Description
The Beahm Designs Die Necker progressively reduces tubing diameter by means of a heated die.
Tubing is manually drawn throug the die to the desired length. The I.D. of the interchangeable dies controls the diameter of the neck tubing.
Controls
Front Panel Controls
- Located on the front panel of the unit are:
- System Power
- Temperature Controller
- Cooling Air Line
- Cooling Air Flow Adjust
- Cooling Air on/off toggle switch
Rear Panel Controls
- Located on the rear panel of the unit are:
- Power entry module
- Industrial system air connection
- System Fuse
Controls Continued
Installation
- When installing the system, follow the sequence listed below.
- Make sure that the system power is in the off position.
- Connect the system air extension line to 80—100 psi clean dry compressed air source.
- Connect main AC power to the power entry module on the rear panel.
Parameter Setting
Cooling Air Flow Adjus
Rotate the flow meter valve counter clockwise to increase cooling airflow, clockwise to decrease airflow.
Temperature Controller Setting
- Depress the up arrow key on the temperature controller to increase the temperature set-point depress the down arrow key to decrease the temperature set-point.
- Release up or down arrow key when desired temperature is displayed in the upper read out.
- The new setting will be accepted automatically after 2 seconds.
Auto-Tuning Instructions
- Switch main power on
- Depress the page button until “TUNE LIST” appears in the display
- Depress the scroll button until “ATUN” appears in the display
- Depress the “UP” or “DOWN” arrow button twice to initiate tune sequence
- Unit will resume normal operation automatically

System Operation
Facilities Requirements
- 110/120 v, 50/60 hz
- 2-3 amps (220 watts)
- 80-100 psi, clean dry compressed air
Safety Precaution
Die housing and drawing dies will become hot during operation and, depending on temperature set-point, can cause severe skin burns if contact occurs.
System Operation
- Switch main power on.
- Set die temperature on temperature controller by pressing the UP/Down arrow key once to display the set temperature, then again to change it.
- Pass end of tubing through the necking die and grasp at opposite side.
- Draw tubing through die at a speed that produces the desired tubing o.d.
- To aid in obtaining tubing diameter, position the cooling air nozzle near the exit of the drawing die and switch cooling air “on” as tubing is drawn through the die.
Die Tooling Change
Required Tools and Equipment 2 open end or similar wrenches
Caution: ensure that the die housing is cooled to within 15 degrees f of ambient temperature before proceeding with replacement
- Loosen the clamping nut and bolt located at the top and bottom of the heater housing.
- Remove the existing die from the housing and replace with alternate size die.
- Tighten the clamping nut and bolt until the die is secure in the housing.

43B Data Sheet
Tube Reduction (Necking) Solutions
These bench-top systems are designed to draw down the outer diameter and/or inner diameter of single or multi-lumen cathetertubings on a variety of tubing sizes and materials, such as PE, PA, PTFE and PEEK. Common applications include: Catheter Shaft Neck Down, Heat Shrink Tubing Sizing, polymer tubing layering, and tubing jacketing (i.e. S.S. hypo tube shafts or wire braids with polymer tubing).
