IR Braid Annealing Station

The MMT R&D Engineering IR Annealing Station delivers repeatable, precise infrared heat treatment for braided catheter development and manufacturing, replacing open-flame methods with a fully controlled, EHS-compliant process that eliminates torch variability and open-flame safety concerns. High-efficiency IR heating elements and a programmable temperature control system enable uniform thermal exposure, consistent stress relief, and improved material flexibility across both low-volume R&D runs and high-throughput production. A front-facing operator interface and integrated pneumatic handling reduce setup time and operator variability, while providing real-time process monitoring.
