They are UL-listed for Class I, Division I, Group D hazardous locations. The Digitex weftstraightener component features inverter drives, which replace a DC system, as well as a new compensator that is lighter and more sensitive to run delicate fibers such as cotton and Lycra . The system reduces fabric path by 20 percent, providing faster response and correction, according to Bianco. The machine s DSP 10R reading system includes improved readability for thick fabrics with surface effects or hairiness, and calculation power 16 times higher than previous models. The coupling s modular concept reduces cost because of a design that features only one radial clamping screw for each hub and clamping hubs on both sides.
Installation is quick, reducing downtime.
The couplings offer high torsional stiffness and axial, lateral and angular misalignment compensation. The new system can be fitted to all similar creels. The system operates with three synchronized drives that automatically transfer the rovings to the new spools and deliver the compact, high-density packages to the front creel, ready to be unloaded. The design enhances conditions with bobbins 1,500 millimeters long, weighing up to 17 kilograms. Because the system eliminates the lifting of heavy condenser spools in awkward conditions in mills, it complies with European legislation on manual handling and safe working practices.
