Gauge 140

Gauge 140 allows working with textile or synthetic fibers under high tension while maintaining a high degree of precision in braiding. It is used, for example, in nautical or climbing ropes, where the braiding must be perfect, and long lengths without splices are required.

Customization and adaptability

A world of accessories

Ratera provides various useful and necessary accessories for the correct production of the desired final product.

  • Different types of take ups at the braiding point, with or without braiding detection.
  • Single or tension-controlled devices for core control.
  • Different take off systems, depending on the diameter of the braided product.
  • Different take up systems for the braided product, on reels of different sizes, in parallel or semi-parallel take ups.

Advantages of Gauge 140

Carriers and bobbins for Ecartamiento 140

The high bobbin capacity of Guauge 140 allows for longer ropes to be made without splicing and at the same time minimizes reel changes in the braiding machine.

Depending on the desired product to be manufactured, the carriers can be equipped with ceramics of different finishes, pulleys, and springs of the necessary tension.

There are two versions of bobbins:

  • Ø 78×250 mm with a capacity of 962.11 cm³.
  • Ø 78×280 mm with a capacity of 1,211.27 cm³.

83L System: The most advanced mechanical system

83L System: This advanced mechanical system, originally patented by Ratera, features wear-resistant components made of tempered and ground steel with a medium hardness of 610 Brinell (± 20 points). Carrier feet uses rotating bushings, and the horn gear cuts are made using plastic segments. The system achieves three significant outcomes:

    • Increased Production Speed: Boosts production speed by 18% to 25%.
    • Minimal Maintenance Costs: Requires little to no maintenance or part replacements in the short or medium term.
    • Reduced Noise Level: Significantly lowers noise during operation.
