Steeger vertical fine wire braider/type - K80 series
These braiders represent the work horse for the medical industry for producing catheters, tubes and a variety of invasive and non-invasive products which need designed flexibility, stiffness, kink ability, torque and redial strength.Steeger braiders are available with 4,8,12,16,20,24,32,36,48 up to 200 carriers in increments for four. Our carrier design, which unrolls wire from a horizontally placed bobbin enables braiding the most tension sensitive materials without coiling or twisting.
K80-16 IMC K80-32 K80-48 IMC
The carriers will handle | Stainless steel, NITI, titanuim, copper Round wire 0.0005"-0.005" (0.012-0.127mm) Flat wires 0.0007"-0.005" (0.017-0.127mm) 0.0005"-0.003" (0.012-0.076mm) |
Multi filament yarns | Kevlar, Vectra, Spectra denier Monofils, Optical fibers in the 0.002”-0.005"(0.050-0.127mm) range Single end of copper wire 0.003"(0.076mm), multiple ends of 0.001"(0.025mm) For the electrical conductor industry the K80-16 fine wire braider lends itself to braid wires up to 50 gauge (AWG)-(5 ends per bobbin) for production of coax cable, antenna cables, microprocessor cable, etc. |
General technical details | Horn gears--feature double tier system providing maximum carrier stability Carriers--fine wire carrier, type KL80D. carrier is of composite material equipped with a series of rollers to minimize frictions and excessive tension peaks. Bobbins draw off from a horizontal position to prevent coiling and twisting of fine wire. Stop motions--wire break/bobbin run-out | ||

Capstan--12” (304.8mm)OD and 4” (101.6mm)wide, provides slip free take up, using multiple wraps. Take-up ration adjustable through change gears ratio 5 to 94 picks/inch. Pay off and winding-up device--for plastic spools 12” (304mm )OD*8” (203mm)between flanges. (Traversing device adjustable to different spool sizes) Tension sensitive winding device suitable to wind with less than 200 gram tension. Total enclosure--reduce noise level and add to overall safety. Door interlocks will shutdown braider whenever enclosure doors are openin | ||
