Bobbin Winders
Simple & Precision Bobbin Winders for Medical Manufacturing
Steeger USA’s bobbin winders prepares medical-grade thread or suture material for use in medical devices by winding it onto a specific bobbin format, ensuring consistent tension and proper delivery during operation. Steeger machines ensure precise and efficient winding and support the seamless operation of Steeger braiding machines, where required. Properly wound bobbins reduce downtime, minimize material waste, and improve product consistency. Whether you need simplicity or advanced precision, Steeger USA offers two reliable options to suit your production needs.
Why Choose Steeger Bobbin Winders?
- Improved Operational Efficiency: Reduces machine downtime and operator interventions.
- Consistent Results: Minimizes build failures and scrap material.
- Customizable Configurations: Tailored solutions to meet your material and process requirements.
