The most accurate pleating geometry in the world; We recommend that you select Model VEG unless you need to process balloons with diameters larger than 14 mm or lengths longer than 124 mm. VEG, with its smaller base plate, accommodates patented Alpha-Pleat™ stations designed especially for PTCA-sized balloon wrapping, with EDM-cut stainless steel dies that are self-guided by extremely precise bearing balls, resulting in unparalleled geometric accuracy with virtually zero wear. The J-Crimp™ compression station relies on non-contacting dies with very small die-to-die gaps.
