Re: pic: John testing Surgical tube connection
...I'm not that predictable, am I?
Also, what else have folks tried, good or bad, for joining surgical tubing for conveyor purposes? |

Re: pic: John testing Surgical tube connection
Tried that idea tonight to work out some intake mechanism/conveyor ideas. It works like a charm with the stuff we had sitting around the shop, so thanks for posting it!
We found it works even better if you put a quick wrap of masking tape around each end of the pneumatic tubing, just to "roughen up" the surface a bit and give the latex something to hold on to. Thanks! Jason Caption contest late entry: "He dreamed of one day owning a Bowflex." |

Re: pic: John testing Surgical tube connection
Thanks for sharing. We were struggling with the connection and this was such a simple fix. It really got us rolling.

Re: pic: John testing Surgical tube connection
Last night we had issues with the surgical tubing not being able to grip the pneumatics tubing. The KOP surgical tubing is .25" ID and the pneumatics tubing is .25" OD. Perhaps our surgical tubing got stretched the wrong way? So the surgical tubing we ordered for the production bot has a 3/16" ID. Shouldn't be too hard to flip the ends inside out and roll it over the pneumatic tubing connector.

Re: pic: John testing Surgical tube connection
In 2006 we constructed a conveyor system using multiple band of surgical tubing stretched between to rollers. We used contact cement and were able to force one end of the tubing into the other. The contact cement was used wet i.e. we did not wait for it to dry first. The wet contact cement acted as a lubricant for about a minute while we used needle nose pliers to force one end into the other. It was not easy to do and we got cement everywhere. Clean up was a pain. Several students got good at putting them together. We made about 30 total when you include spares. During competition we used about 15 on the 'bot and lost about 5 total during the regional. We replaced these between matches.
