Take-up Units

Ratera specializes in manufacturing take-up units (also called collectors) that work synchronized with the braiding machine or other equipment. The take-up units are used to collect the braided product on a spool or reel.

In smaller braiders, the take-up unit is directly incorporated and welded onto the braider according to the customer’s needs. For larger braiders where there is a high capacity requirement, autonomous collectors are the most suitable option.

Customization and adaptability

Autonomous collectors

Collectors with their own motor reduccer and adjustable linear distributors to adjust pitch and parallel folding.

Autonomous Collectors for metal bobbin, with or without tension arm:

  • Ø 800 x 400 (150,796 cm³)
  • Ø 1050 x 600 (444,142 cm³)
  • Adapted to customer’s bobbin

Parallel winding collectors. The retractable core allows for tying the roll and removing the rope from the collector, ready for sale. Various sizes are available:

  • Ø 600 x 390 (104,266 cm³)
  • Ø 1200 x 700 (706,335 cm³)
  • Ø 1700 x 765 (1,649,637 cm³)

These collectors can be used with other types of machinery, such as twisters, caterpillars, cutters, or other types of textile or tubes. For example, traversing operations with intermediate thermal processes or quality verification with artificial vision.

Gama de colectores con su propio motoreductor y repartidores lineales ajustables para ajustar paso y plegar perfectamente en paralelo. Existen 2 gamas diferenciadas, cada una con sus tamaños de bobinas.

Plegadores autónomos a bobina metálica, con o sin brazo tensor:

  • Ø 800 x 400 (150.796 cm³)
  • Ø 1050 x 600 (444.142 cm³)
  • Adaptado a bobina del cliente.

Plegadores de bobina atada. El núcleo retráctil permite atar el rollo y sacar la cuerda del plegador, listo para la venta. Existen varias medidas:

  • Ø 600 x 390 (104.266 cm³)
  • Ø 1200 x 700 (706.335 cm³)
  • Ø 1700 x 765 (1.649.637 cm³)

Estos plegdores, pueden utilizarse con otro tipo de maquinaria, como pueden ser retorcedoras, caterpillers, cortadoras u ortos tipos de maquinaria textil o de manipulación de tubos. Por ejemplo, operaciones de trascanado con procesos intermedios térmicos o de verificación de la calidad con visión artificial.

Additional solutions for braiders

Compact solutions located above or at the back of the braider for safe load handling.

Bobbins available:

  • For finer threads: DIN-100, DIN-125, DIN-160 or the Ratera bobbin with Ø 350 x 125 mm.
  • For larger sizes, metal bobbins  Ø 350×300 or Ø 450×300 wooden bobbins with reinforced core.
  • CUSTOMIZED. We adapt the customer’s bobbin to our collectors models.
  • Wooden winders for skein winding.
  • Options with worm screw or linear distributor, according to the required winding quality.
  • Take ups for cross-folding, optionally with tensioning columns for constant tension folding.
