Gauge 240

Gauge 240 stands as the larger counterpart to the Gauge 208. With a similar carrier configuration, it boasts a 43% increase in bobbin capacity while upholding comparable levels of speed and product quality. It is used 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. It is 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 Gauge 240

Husos y bobinas Ecartamiento 240

Gauge 240 carrier is known for its robustness and ability to braid threads under high tension. The brake system with a shoe brake prevents plunger impact and enhances durability. Its metal body and reinforced closure structure ensure stability and precision.

Depending on the desired product, the carrier can be equipped with ceramics, hooks, or pulleys. The bobbin measurements are:

  • Ø 124 x 380 mm, with a capacity of 4,298 cm³.

83L System: The most advanced mechanical 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.
