In the competitive and highly regulated world of medical device manufacturing, precision and repeatability are non-negotiable. When it comes to producing intricate braided components such as catheter shafts, guidewires, and stents, the ability to fine-tune every aspect of the braiding process becomes critical. That’s where MMBT's braider software steps in—delivering intuitive control, customizable settings, and data-backed production insights.

Intuitive Interface with Granular Control

From the moment users enter the braider software home screen, they’re met with a user-centric interface designed for both operators and engineers. Key production variables such as:

• Braider speed (0–100%, with 100% equating to 300 RPM)
• Jog speed (adjustable up to 40%)
• Take-up motor speed (for managing material collection)

Braider speed, jog speed and take-up motor speed can be adjusted either by sliders or manual input. These controls ensure optimal tension and pattern integrity, critical when manufacturing high-tolerance braided medical components.

Multi-Level Access for Security and Customization

The software offers tiered access through different user logins:

• Standard mode (not logged in): Load products and run the braider
• Lowercase “admin”: Full access opens service menu, including advanced settings (change PPI), recipe management, and safety feature control
• Uppercase “Admin”

Recipe Management for Repeatability

Consistency in medical manufacturing saves time and prevents costly quality control issues. MMBT's braider software supports custom recipe creation, allowing users to define:

• PPI (picks per inch)
• Braid patterns: Full, Half Load, and Diamond
• Segmented braiding parameters

These recipes can be saved, loaded, and reused—ensuring repeatability across production batches.

Segmented Braiding for Complex Device Design

Medical devices like vascular catheters often require changing braid densities along the length of a tube. The segmented braiding feature makes this easy:

• Define multiple segments with distinct PPI settings
• Pause between segments for inspections or interventions
• Option to run through all segments automatically or with operator approval

This function is ideal for multi-durometer shafts or hybrid designs requiring tailored reinforcement.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting Built In

To maximize uptime, the software includes a preventive maintenance (PM) alert system tied to the hour meter—tracking actual machine run time. For example, every 8 hours of operation, the system prompts for scheduled greasing. Other helpful features include:

• Alarm history and diagnostics
• Input/output check for real-time electrical troubleshooting
• Multilingual support (English, Spanish, Japanese)

These features support faster service response and better internal documentation.

Why This Matters to Medical Device Manufacturers

Whether you're building a 3 Fr (French Size) catheter or a complex braided expandable device, MMBT braider software gives your team the control, flexibility, and reliability needed to meet today’s tight manufacturing standards. With integrated safety features, recipe repeatability, and segmented control, it’s tailor-made for precision medical production lines.
