I have purchase and used many Steeger braiders over the years. My experience revolves mostly around the 16 carrier machines, but they offer up to 288 carriers (good luck with that!). The machines are well built and generally run reliably after some process development is completed. Steeger offers a varietey of options to adapt the machines to your specific needs - I normally am running fine wire, so I get a range of springs and the narrow pulleys.
Steeger is generally good about braiding small quantities of sample braid for evaluation and can also custom build a machine to your specifications.
In my experience, the Steeger hardware is very reliable. The automation components and software require more attention.
Strengths: Braiding Machines
Needs to improve: custom machines may require significant debugging upon arrival
great braiders for medical device braiding. i have used these for many types of braiding for braid reinforced catheter tubing and the quality of the products have been great. i've used them from i believe 12 wire up to 48 wire braids and they have all output excellent results. gets a bit finicky when it gets to larger number of wires and smaller (.001") as it may break easily, but once you get it set up well, it runs great.
Strengths: quality construction, braiding

We have used Steeger braiders for many of our devices. We currently use a mchine that has been around for decades. Occasionally we need to have parts serviced and Steeger has always come through. Our machine is decades old so it is nice to know that they continue to stand behind their product by offering technical support. They provide quick quotations and ship very fast. Customer service is always helpful.
Strengths: Good product support, customer service is a plus, reliable machininery
Needs to improve: cost
They are the industry standard for braiding equipment for catheter shafts. I once had an issue with a braider and they were able to come and repair, as well as provide detailed training for maintenance of the braiding equipment. They are also very knowledgeable for resolving braiding issues and understanding braid designs to meet design needs. Spare parts had a short lead time, which is great in a pinch.
Strengths: Excellent equipment, reliable, durable, customer service, technical support

Steeger make some of the best braiders you can buy. Their speed, reliability and accuracy make them hard to beat in the medical device industry. I've used them to make metal braids from Stainless Steel and Nitinol and from round and flat wire. We've also used them to make braided implants. They are also much faster, cleaner and easier to setup than the converted 80 year old braiders from the textile industry.
Strengths: Braiders and CNC Braiders

I've used Steeger braiders at my last two companies. These machines are built for durability and are made with high standards. Their braiders can handle many types of wire materials (SS, Niti, etc.) We have the 16 carriage version but they are extremely reliable. Good customer service. These guys have been around for years and know their stuff. highly recommended
Strengths: Reliable and very durable braiders, good customer service

The one at work looks like it came from the Jurassic ages, but it still chugs along. I can only conclude that it must be quite reliable. On top of that, the machine seems durable as well since it’s running 24/7, and I haven’t seen it break down yet.

We used Steeger braiders in our in house extrusion department. The Steeger braiders at one point were running 24 hours a day 7 days a week. They never failed us. They are easy to configure and ultra reliable.
