32 to 16 Modular System

Maximizing Efficiency for Your Braiding Machine

Steeger USA offers a 32-to-16 Carrier Upgrade for customers seeking to optimize their braiding machines for smaller-scale production runs and enhanced precision. This upgrade is a cost-effective solution for manufacturers who no longer require the capacity of a 32-carrier machine but want to maintain the versatility and quality of their equipment.

The Story Behind the 32-to-16 Carrier Upgrade

Steeger USA’s engineering team developed this upgrade in response to a growing demand for smaller, more efficient braiding configurations. Many of our customers realized that their production processes didn’t always require the output of a 32-carrier machine. Instead of replacing their existing equipment, they needed a smart solution that preserved the functionality of their current system while adapting to changing production needs.

The 32-to-16 Carrier Upgrade allows manufacturers to maintain operational efficiency without the significant investment in new equipment. By converting to a 16-carrier setup, customers gain the ability to tackle smaller production runs with improved precision and reduced waste.

Why Make the 32-to-16 Carrier Upgrade?

This upgrade offers several advantages for manufacturers seeking flexibility and efficiency in their braiding operations:

1. Cost-Effective Solution:
   • Avoid the expense of purchasing a new braiding machine.
   • Extend the life of your existing equipment with a tailored upgrade.
2. Enhanced Precision:
   • The reduced carrier count allows for more precise braiding, ideal for smaller-scale applications.
3. Versatility:
   • Retain the ability to switch between different braiding configurations, supporting a variety of products and materials.
4. Reduced Waste:
   • Smaller production runs minimize material waste, helping reduce operational costs.
