Rod stocks - Import export

Knight Optical can offer custom Rod Lenses for use within Optical Systems. We supply a range of custom & stock Rod lenses for a range of applications. All individually QA checked and metrology tested for quality to ensure parts meet customer specification. Supplied in a range of sizes and shapes with custom coatings tailored to meet your individual applications. Knight Optical supply precision optical components to customers with Optical systems. Rod Lenses are a special variant of cylindrical lenses so they focus light to a line. Rod lenses have an outside face that is polished and the ends are ground. Typical uses for rod lenses would be to generate a line image from a circular laser beam. Rod lenses can be cut at 45 degrees for use in beam steering and other similar applications.

ULTEM HU1000® (PEI, polyetherimid) offers an excellent dimensional stability after autoclaving. It is preferable to Acetal Coplymer for designs where superior mechanical characteristics are required. This material is radio transparent. Our medical grade stock shapes (rods and sheets) are lot controlled and delivered with a certificate of conformance. The material is not for permanent implantation. It is available in 5 standard colours: black, blue, brown, gray , green. It is a well known material for traumatology and orthopaedic applications (instruments and trial parts).

Westlake Plastics manufactures medical grade polymer stock shapes in rods and sheets for orthopaedic trial parts and instruments, dental applications and other surgical tools and accessories requiring medical grade standards and biocompatibility. Within its range of medical grade polymers, Westlake offers: - Polycarbonate (PC) gamma sterilized under its Zelux® GS brand name - Polyetherimid (PEI) under its Tempalux® brand name - Polypropylen (PP) under its Propylux® brand name - Polyphenylsulfon (PPSU) under the Radel® brand name - Ultra High-Molecular Weight Polethylen (UHMW-PE) under its Lennite® brand name These polymers can be used for various medical and surgical tools, knee / hip / shoulder trial parts for orthopaedic implant kits and various other medical grade applications (sterilizable cases and containers) requiring high biocompatibility specifications (USP Class VI and ISO10993).

Assembly accessories: - Screw-driver - Threaded rod - Long nut metric - Stock screw - Hexagon nut metric - Steel cable, 1 m long - Cable clamp - Support cramp - Colour-spray - Earthing-cable - Earthing-lug

StaMixCo manufacturers all three commercially proven static mixer designs used for high viscous melt flow mixing of polymers in extrusion service. As with most process equipment, each static mixer design has specific advantages and disadvantages that make it more or less suitable for a specific application and installation. Each type of motionless mixer is discussed below: Process Improvements: Temperature gradients are virtually eliminated. Viscosity gradients are virtually eliminated. Composition gradients of colorant, chemical additives, fillers and regrind are virtually eliminated. Stagnant polymer wall-creep material is incorporated into the bulk polymer stream. Extrusion Applications Static Mixers are used in most extrusion applications including the following: Sheet Blown Film Foam sheet Profile extrusion Co-extrusion Pipe Extrusion Blow Molding Rod & Tubing Wire & Cable Coatings Fiber extrusion & monofilaments Benefits Reduction of color additives with comparable extrudate color density. Even thickness across the entire extrudate width. Streak-free product. Improved quality when using regrind material. Foam cell size and cell distribution uniformity. Improved surface quality Improved mechanical characteristics. Rapid color change-over SMB-R Static Mixer SMB-GXS Static Mixer Mixing of blue and white epoxy resin with the SMB-GXS Static Melt Blender. It improves the melt homogeneity by factor 5-6. SMB-R Static Mixer The SMB-R static mixer for extrusion service (licensee of Bayer AG, Leverkusen, Germany) contains eight (8) very efficient motionless mixing elements that homogenize the polymer melt as it enters the extruder die. The SMB-R mixing elements are considered as high performance design where they create a very high degree of mixing in a short length. The SMB-R mixing elements are virtually indestructible due to their monolithic cast construction where the mixing bars are jointed to each other and to the ring wall via a single molten metal pour. Mixing of blue and white epoxy resins. Empty tube (top)provides no mixing. Eight (8) mixing elements (bottom) provide an excellent mix quality in a short length. SMB-GX Static Mixer Melt Blender The SMB-GX motionless mixer is a design that has been used in melt flow mixing extrusion service for over 25 years. The SMB-GX mixing elements are considered as high performance design where they create homogeneous mix in a short length. It has the same fundamental X-Grid crossing-bar structure as the StaMixCo SMB-R static mixer (Figure #8), but without the support ring around the mixing blade structure which gives the SMB-R its remarkable strength. Since the SMB-GX is manufactured from metal plates that are welded together, virtually any custom static mixer plate thickness, material and diameter can be fabricated to meet process and installation requirements. SMB-H Static Mixer Melt Blender The SMB-H Helical static mixer design pioneered the static mixing industry and has been used as a viscous static mixer on extruders for over 37 years. The Helical design is considered a low mixing performance-long length-low pressure drop motionless mixer as compared to the later developments of high performance static mixers such as the SMB-R and SMB-GX which have become the technology standards in the industry. StaMixCo manufactures SMB-H static mixers by advanced proprietary manufacturing technique where the entire unit is machined from a solid rod of bar stock material without welding. This machining process allows for custom static mixer fabrication in virtually any L/D twist, in very small sizes, with very high strength, straight and true dimensioning and with a RMS 12 mirror polish surface finish which is a much improved surface finish as compared to the traditional 32 RMS finish for the twisted and welded design.
