Removing irregular distortions
Asymmetrical distortions (wavy, S-shaped, etc.) in textiles have always represented a huge challenge in the textile industry. A special straightening approach is needed particularly when the straightening process does not take place in combination with a stenter (e.g. before decatizers, digital printing systems, etc.).
To restore the warp and weft threads to their original state, the Orthofact RMB generates a defined lateral tension using freewheeling, inclined pin wheels. This cross-tension stretches the warp threads. The resultant force controls the freewheeling pin wheels, since the weft threads will always seek out the shortest path from selvedge to selvedge.
Distortion, no matter whether wavy or S-shaped, will be corrected.
Product Highlights
- High lateral tension possible
- Adjustable unclipping device
- Bypass function
- Intelligent drive
Customer benefits
- The pin wheel straightens even without detection
- Reliable, quick distortion correction
- Effective also with asymmetric distortions
- Less spoilage
- Unclipping roller with infinitely variable adjustment: Minimises residual bow and edge distortions.
- Intelligent drive station with special tension control for smallest product tension activates or deactivates automatically (e.g. in case of blockages).
- A bypass function is available at the push of a button for products that cannot be straightened with the pin wheel.
- Intelligent wheel following: Product loss is nearly prevented entirely. The control immediately compensates product offset, poor seams, fringes and dents on the edges.
- Width jump function: New wider products do not need to be pulled in separately when changing products. Sew the new product to the old one, pull in, done! No more downtime!
- Break function: Reduces the lateral tension to a preselected level when the line is stopped, e.g. during breaks or when working on other machines in the line. Preserves the product!
Inclined positioning of the wheels is carried out pneumatically, which ensures a constant straightening effect. A counter-force – generated by a spring – compensates friction losses and tolerances and causes a uniform, symmetrical wheel alignment. The optimized design considerably reduces the maintenance effort.
- When confronted with asymmetrical distortions (wavy, S-shaped…)
- For non-elastic fabric that cannot be detected
- Provides a solution for every potential distortion challenge
