Publication number: 20240173804Abstract: Provided are embodiments of a method of forming a syringe barrel. In the method, a bore is drilled through a tip of the syringe barrel with a first laser to provide fluid communication with an interior cavity of the syringe barrel. The interior cavity is defined by a tubular wall of the syringe barrel. A surface of the bore is treated with a second laser to remelt the surface of the bore. The tubular wall and tip are made of a glass material. Advantageously, forming the bore of the syringe barrel using laser drilling and treating avoids tungsten contamination.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2023Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventors: Anatoli Anatolyevich Abramov, Connor Thomas O'Malley

Patent number: 11970417Abstract: Systems for producing articles from glass tube include a converter having a base with a plurality of processing stations and a turret moveable relative to the base. The turret indexes a plurality of holders for holding the glass tubes successively through the processing stations. The systems further include a gas flow system or a suction system for producing a flow of gas through the glass tube during one or more heating, forming, separating or piercing operations. The flow of gas through the glass tube produced by the gas flow system or suction system may be sufficient to evacuate or purge volatile constituents of the glass from the glass tube and/or pierce a meniscus formed on the glass tube during separation, thereby reducing the Surface Hydrolytic Response (SHR) of the interior surface of the glass tube and articles made therefrom.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: CORNING INCORPORATEDInventors: Lewis Kirk Klingensmith, Joseph Michael Matusick, Connor Thomas O'Malley, Matthew Daniel Trosa, Steven Robert Wagner
