BX1100 Tabletop
PPI Count Verification for Braided Products
The Tabletop BX1100 is designed to provide accurate spot-check measurements for braid density (picks per inch, PPI) and outer diameter (OD). It delivers precise quality assurance for braided medical products such as catheters and stents — as a standalone offline unit, separate from Taymer’s Inline BX1100, for manufacturers who need spot checks rather than continuous production monitoring.
With a simple setup, small footprint, and reliable measurement capabilities, the BX1100 Tabletop enables fast, repeatable measurement across a wide range of materials and braid patterns. Flexible lighting and robust self-tuning software let the system adapt without complicated parameter configuration.

Features
- Simple operation and built-in data export make the BX1100 ideal for production QA: minimal operator training, real-time results, and easy capture and saving of images and reports for production traceability.
- Versatility and precision under evolving conditions enable rapid process development — flexible lighting and highly adaptive algorithms provide instant, reliable feedback for R&D in the lab.
- Optional customizable software and system configurations support unique part handling, advanced evaluations such as braid geometry, and tailored data/export formats for QA process compatibility.
Quality Assurance
The braid inspector and pick counter captures images of your products and saves them for inclusion in your quality reports.
The user interface also makes it easy for engineering and production supervisors to examine a defect without needing to see the physical defect itself. Defect locations are recorded together with the image, allowing operators to find and eliminate defects before they reach customers or fail in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the BX1100 Tabletop measure?
The BX1100 Tabletop measures braid density (picks per inch, PPI) and outer diameter (OD) on braided products such as catheters and stents, providing spot-check quality verification.
Is the BX1100 Tabletop an inline or offline system?
The BX1100 Tabletop is a dedicated offline system, designed as a standalone unit for spot checks on finished samples. It’s a separate model from the Inline BX1100, which mounts inside a horizontal or vertical braider for continuous inspection during production. Read more about inline braid inspection.
What PPI and diameter range can the BX1100 Tabletop measure?
It measures 5–250 picks per inch and outer diameters from 0.010″ to 0.6″ (0.25mm to 15mm), with additional ranges available on request.
What products is the BX1100 Tabletop used for?
It’s used for braided medical products including catheters and stents, as well as braid geometry analysis, braid uniformity checks, pull wire alignment verification, and transition length measurement.
