Braid Annealing Systems

IR Braid Annealing Station

The IR Annealing Station delivers high-intensity infrared energy through top-and-bottom heating to anneal metal braids and prevent fraying or unraveling after cutting. Designed for precision thermal processing, the system enables focused heat delivery and configurable part handling for a range of braid geometries.

Key Features

Station:

  • Dual-sided IR heating for uniform annealing
  • Vertically adjustable top and bottom heater modules
  • Narrow beam heaters available in widths from 0.25″ to 1.5″
  • Custom mandrel holders designed to match specific braid geometries
  • Rapid heat-up with operating temperatures up to 800 °C

 

Control System:

  • PLC-based automation with color touchscreen interface
  • Configurable cycle parameters with recipe storage
  • Real-time process status and diagnostics

Typical Applications

Ideal for medical device manufacturing and other precision braid processing environments requiring clean, controlled thermal annealing.
