Advantages of Gauge 680
Carriers and Bobbins for Ecartement 680
Designed to braid thick threads up to Ø 20mm, this carrier maintains very stable tension control and allows for high-quality braiding of both small and large diameters. Equipped with rollers with lateral bearings and it offers the possibility of customization with a rotating head in the tensioner. Brake system with an adjustable drum. Upper and lower supports with bearings for the bobbin.
Bobbin:
- Ø 365×730 mm. Capacity 74,319 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 spindle 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.
