Medical spring manufacturers face a unique challenge: how do you stress relieve high volumes of springs without creating bottlenecks, tangling parts, or adding unnecessary labor?
In this case study, see how a medical spring manufacturer replaced a conventional offline process with a customized Pyromaitre inline stress relief system that:
✅Reduced stress relief time from 30 minutes to just a few minutes
✅Eliminated spring tangling through controlled part separation
✅Removed manual handling with automated inline operation
✅Reduced equipment footprint and energy consumption
✅Supported production rates of up to 7,200 springs per hour
The result was a faster, more efficient process designed specifically for the demands of high-volume medical spring production. 🔥

How Pyro Created a Custom Configured Solution for their Unique Requirements
Recently, a Pyro customer contacted us for a tempering solution that included various requirements to facilitate the integration of our system into their factories and processes.
A convection oven makes the tempering operation simpler and more reliable than induction. Our high convection technology allows the tempering to be done at high speed and therefore taking the same floor space as a induction tempering machine.
A loading system, an unloading system, a cooling chamber to cool the parts after heat treatment, an electrostatic smoke filter, as well as various control features have been designed and installed to facilitate the integration of the system into the production line.
Our goal is to be a high performance organization stimulating innovation that offers an efficient solution in order to be recognized as a creative leader in the stress relief and tempering industries.
Introducing the P106E·lite
Pyro’s latest machine, especially designed for small springs, the P106E·lite offers the quality and reliability you expect in Pyromaitre Oven, all at an economic price!
Key Features:
✅ Ideal for Small Springs: The P106E·lite was designed with small springs in mind! It features lower convection to prevent small springs from blowing. While there are no entry or exit curtains, our innovative Dynamic Heat Loss Control System prevents heat loss.
✅ Small, Narrow Footprint: The P106E·lite conveniently fits in any workspace with its small, narrow footprint. With the controls on top of the oven, its slim design easily fits inline with small spring coilers.
✅ The Quality You Expect:
- User Friendly HMI: Touchscreen HMI with the latest controls CQI-9 ready
- Low Maintenance: Simple design requires very little maintenance.
- Lower Position: the direct shaft driven gearbox mounted on the oven’s side allows the oven to sit lower to the ground, ideal for receiving parts.
- Servo Controlled Conveyor: allows for a great belt speed variability. Times can be as fast as 1 minute and theoretically unlimited while keeping the gearmotor cool.
- Reliability: +/-20F uniformity
- Warranty & Service: 3-Year warranty on all parts, 5-Year warranty on tubular heating elements. 24/7 emergency line available.
✅ Economic Price Tag- The P106E·lite is a “no frills” low cost oven for small springs designed to provide the key stress relieving functions your operation needs, all at ~40% lower price.
