Gauge 208

Gauge 208 is ideal for manufacturing very long braided ropes without splices with a high degree of precision. It allows working with synthetic fibers under several kilograms of tension, whether to produce the core, the cover, or a rope directly. It is very popular among manufacturers of naval and safety ropes.

Customization and adaptability

A world of accessories

Ratera provides various useful accessories for achieving the desired final product and adapting to the needs of each costumer.

  • Different pulling systems depending on the diameter range desired to produce. There are mechanical pulling systems attached to the braiding machine for ropes up to Ø21mm or autonomous pulling systems with electronic pitch control for ranges up to Ø50mm.
  • Different types of take ups at the braiding point with the option of a motorized zipper for adjustment.
  • Different guides and stoppind devices for the core.
  • Integral safety protections for personnel.
  • Ratera offers a wide range of take ups for folding the braiding thread, either in Ratera metal bobbins or in synchronized bobbin collectors.
  • Ratera offers the possibility of adapting to customer bobbins.
  • Customized electrical panel. From the basic panel operated with buttons and basic protections to complete systems with touchscreen, PLCs, speed controls, recipes, and connectivity.

Advantages of Guage 208

Carriers and bobbins for Ecartamiento 208

Gauge 208 carrier is characterized by its robustness and ability to braid threads at high tension. The brake system with a shoe brake prevents plunger impact and improves its durability. Its metal body and reinforced closure structure ensure stability and precision.

Depending on the desired product to be manufactured, the carrier can be equipped with ceramics, hooks, or pulleys.

There are 2 versions with different capacities:

  • Ø 110 x 300 mm, with a capacity of 2,562 cm³.
  • Ø 110 x 350 mm, with a capacity of 2,989 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). The carrier feet utilize rotating bushings, and the blade 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.
