Simplify Catheter and Stent Production with MMBT’s Easy HMI Braider Software

Quiet Fine Wire Medical Braiders 3-300 Carriers

In the high-precision world of medical device manufacturing, efficiency and accuracy are non-negotiable—especially when producing delicate components like catheters and vascular stents. MMBT quiet medical braiders have an Easy HMI Braider Software, an intuitive software platform that powers our braiding equipment for medical devices.

Designed specifically for the rigorous demands of catheter and stent manufacturing, our easy to use HMI braider software puts total control at your fingertips while streamlining operator interaction and minimizing error.

🧠 Intuitive Control for Complex Braids

Easy HMI interface is purpose-built for medical device braiding applications, where multi-segment braids, varying PPIs (picks per inch), and tight tolerances are standard.

On the main control screen, users can easily view and manage:

  • 10 segmented braids, each showing:
    • Segment length
    • PPI (picks per inch)
  • Current product being manufactured
  • Braid pattern in progress
  • Machine speed and jog speed controls
  • Product selection dropdown

Everything is clearly laid out on a dedicated operator panel for fast decision-making and reduced training time.

🏥 Built for Catheter and Stent Manufacturing

MMBT’s braider software is ideal for use in:

  • Catheter braiding equipment
  • Stent braiding machines
  • Medical tubing reinforcement systems

Precision braiding of materials like Nitinol, PET, or PEEK is simple thanks to fine-grain control over braid parameters directly from the HMI. Whether you're making guidewires, balloon catheters, or self-expanding stents, the software gives you repeatable control for compliant, high-quality medical devices.

⚙️ Speed Control for Every Application

Medical device braiding requires variable speeds depending on material properties and segment design. With our HMI software:

  • Adjust braider speed from 0% to 100%, with 100% equaling 300 RPM
  • For example, 50% = 150 RPM—perfect for mid-speed catheter reinforcement
  • Adjust speed using the on-screen red slider or type in the percentage manually for exact values

This ensures you're always operating within ideal parameters for your specific product and compliance needs.

🚶 Jog Speed and Take-Up Motor Settings

Manual machine movements are just as important during setup and fine-tuning. That’s why the Easy HMI includes:

  • Jog speed control: Max is 40%, with 20–25% recommended for safe precision adjustments
  • Take-up speed control: Recommended at 12% for smooth, uniform braid tension—ideal for delicate stent and catheter construction

Customize the jog speed and motor take-up speed to fit your medical device manufacturing needs.

📂 Rapid Product Changeovers

Minimize downtime and switch between product types effortlessly:

  • Load saved product configurations directly from the home screen
  • Automatically populate segment lengths, PPI values, and braid patterns
  • Reduce setup time and operator intervention

This is crucial in medical device production, where product traceability, batch control, and production repeatability are key for regulatory compliance.
