Machine Solutions Inc. (MSI) is pleased to announce the launch of its new FFS760S Balloon
Pleating and Folding Equipment. The FFS760S offers increased throughput and operator efficiency
with the use of dual in‐line Wavepleat and fold heads. This machine allows for processing on one
set of heads while the other set is being loaded, effectively allowing a single operator to
simultaneously control two machines.
“MSI’s continued commitment to advanced automation and process engineering for the medical
device industry is highlighted in our latest introduction for pleating and folding angioplasty balloon
catheters and stent delivery systems. This new product release is the result of several years of
development combined with the most effective technique for processing a wide range of balloon
materials,” said Daniel Kasprzyk, CEO of Machine Solutions Inc.
The FFS760S is PAC controlled with PC/HMI touch screen user interface for easy process
development and quick product changeover. The FFS760S includes an integrated vision system
which eliminates manual positioning variability and associated yield loss by automatically
positioning balloons into the pleat/fold heads. Additional features include dual automated top
loading v‐blocks with removable Press‐Sure catheter sealing devices, optional bar code scanning
and servo motor activation.
