The Efficiency Advantage: Integrated Bobbin Winding

MMBT32CHFWB is a complete production station designed to maximize your uptime. While traditional systems require a secondary operation for winding, our system integrates the process directly into the machine.

  • Integrated Bobbin Winder: Operates during production so you are always ready for the next run.
  • Save Production Time: Eliminate the gap between braiding cycles and streamline your workflow.
  • Learn More: See bobbin winder in action in Bobbin Winder Blog.
💡 Facility Note: MMBT Horizontal Braiders are fully electric. This means zero air compressor requirements, quieter operation, and simple integration into any cleanroom.

Model Comparison: Why MMBT32CHFWB?

Choosing the right machine depends on your mandrel size and wire type. The 32-carrier model is our most versatile platform for full-scale production.

Feature MMBT32CHFWB (32-Carrier) MMBT24CVFWB (24-Carrier)
Primary Use Standard catheter bodies & larger profiles. Ultra-fine wire & small diameter profiles.
Take-Up System Large Caterpillar: Optimal for consistent tension when braiding with mandrels. Small Caterpillar: Tuned for delicate handling of fine-wire products.
Standard Carriers Red/Green Nylon (Carbide Eyelets). Black Precision: Ceramic rollers/bearings for low-friction.
Performance Demo High-speed Herringbone patterns. 0.001 x 0.003" Flat Wire Demo

Precision Carriers & Friction Control

Consistency in braid structure is non-negotiable. Every MMBT32CHFWB comes with standard Red and Green carriers, but we offer a high-performance upgrade for specialized projects.

Standard Carriers

Reliable virgin nylon construction. Perfect for most medical fibers and stainless steel wires.

Black Precision Carriers

Features ceramic rollers and high-end bearings. Essential for reducing friction on ultra-fine wires and Nitinol.

We stock various tension and ratchet springs to custom-adjust force and pressure for any product size.
