Automatic pin wheel straightening system Orthofact RMB-15 – Classic pin wheel straightening machine To restore assymetrical distorted warp and weft threads to their original state, the Orthofact RMB generates a defined lateral tension using freewheeling, inclined pin wheels. REMOVING IRREGULAR DISTORTIONS Asymmetrical distortions (wavy, S-shaped, etc.) in textiles have always represented a huge challenge in the textile industry. A special straightening approach is needed particularly when the straightening process does not take place in combination with a stenter (e.g. before decatizers, digital printing systems, etc.). To restore the warp and weft threads to their original state, the Orthofact RMB generates a defined lateral tension using freewheeling, inclined pin wheels. This cross-tension stretches the warp threads. The resultant force controls the freewheeling pin wheels, since the weft threads will always seek out the shortest path from selvedge to selvedge. Distortion, no matter whether wavy or S-shaped, will be corrected. PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS • High lateral tension possible • Adjustable unclipping device • Bypass function • Intelligent drive CUSTOMER BENEFITS • The pin wheel straightens even without detection • Reliable, quick distortion correction • Effective also with asymmetric distortions • Less spoilage Unclipping roller with infinitely variable adjustment: Minimises residual bow and edge distortions. Intelligent drive station with special tension control for smallest product tension activates or deactivates automatically (e.g. in case of blockages).
