Gauge 432

Gauge 432 is the second in the large diameter section, offering twice the capacity of its predecessor, Gauge 342. Focused on manufacturing robust naval ropes or lifting cables, among others, this range of braiding machines is suitable for a wide variety of materials, from nylon and polyesters to the most advanced synthetic fibers.

Within the range, we find models for manufacturing ropes or rope cores with 8, 12, and 16 carriers, as well as a 24 carrier machine aimed at externally covering the rope.

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 Ø50mm and Ø70mm or autonomous pulling systems with electronic pitch control for ranges up to Ø125mm.
  • 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 432

Carriers and bobbins for Ecartamiento 432:

The carrier is equipped with a closure and upper thread guide with a swivel head. It also features a lateral thread guide and tensioner with a pulley, designed for threads with a maximum Ø15 mm. The brake system is performed using a drum. Additionally, the carrier is identified for right and left sides, and it includes a protected and easily replaceable tension spring. The upper and lower supports of the bobbin come with bearings. The aluminum bobbin has an interchangeable plastic material drag.

Prepared for bobbin:

  • Ø 250×650 mm. Capacity 30.065 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.
