System and method for producing a bag for medical purposes
First Claim
1. A system for the manufacture of a bag for medical purposes, the system comprising:
- a tube transfer station having a transfer means for transferring a tube coming into the tube transfer station to a holder and for the local severance of a transferred tube piece from a remaining tube of the incoming tube to the holder in order to subsequently connect the severed tube piece to two film layers for forming an access to the bag, wherein the tube transfer station has a tube holding means on the holder side and, on the other side, a tube pulling means, which are arranged to introduce tensile forces between the severed tube piece and the remaining tube of the incoming tube, while the severance is performed, the system further comprising a linear traversing device with a linear traverse and a sliding carriage supporting the tube pulling means and the tube holding means, wherein the tube holding means is arranged to be stationary relative to the sliding carriage and the tube pulling means is arranged to move linearly relative to the sliding carriage, away from the tube holding means to provide the tensile forces between the severed tube piece and the remaining tube of the incoming tube, while the severance is performed.

Abstract
In order significantly to reduce the risk of contamination of a bag for medical purposes, in particular due to residual particles of tube material caused during cutting of a tube for access to the bag, the invention proposes a system (1) for producing a bag for medical purposes, comprising a tube transfer station (2) with a transfer means (3) for transferring a tube (11) coming into the tube transfer station (2) to a holder (10) and for the severing there of a tube section (17) transferred to the holder (10) from a remaining portion (18) of the incoming tube (11) in order subsequently to be able to make the severed tube section (17) connectable to two film layers for forming an access to the bag, wherein the tube transfer station (2) has a tube-tension-holding means (15) on the holder side and also a tube-pulling means (16), which means are designed to introduce tensile forces (19) between the severed tube section (17) and the remaining portion (18) of the incoming tube (11) while the severing takes place.
