MMBT16CVFWB by Metro CAD

The MMBT16CVFWB by Metro CAD is a state of the art Digital Round Vertical Braider with quiet operation and a cost effective platform.

A wide range of projects can be produced by changing the basic thread/wire diameter and number of threads/wires per carrier. Three basic patterns are Diamond, Herringbone and Half Load.

MMBT medical braiders are triaxial braiding capable. MMBT16CVFWB has 16 vertical spring-loaded virgin nylon carriers with carbide eyelets and optional triaxial kit from 1 to 8 triaxials. MMBT's 16 carrier medical braider has 4 horns per gear that can rotate @ 300 RPM and have up to 600 picks/min. Up to 10 segments can be programmed in one recipe, allowing for different PPI for each segment.

Product size for the MMBT16CVFWB is 0 (no core) to 50mm.

The 16 carrier vertical fine wire medical braider by MMBT can braid the following wires and fibers: 

WIRES: Stainless Steel, Copper, Niti, Titanium, Gold, Platinum and Cobolt-Chromium.

FIBERS: Nylon, Polyester, Dyneema, Kevlar, Vectran, Spectra, PET, PEN, PP, PEEK and LCP.

Elegant design, rigid structure, & high output with easy operation. 

Machine operating elements are grouped on a separate intuitive HMI panel for the ease of operation and clear visibility.

DRIVE SYSTEM : Main switch 3 phase, 220V Servo motor, stopstart-jog control station included. AC frequency inverter: speed control & variable increase of speed.

MMBT16CVFWB Features :
