Optimizing Braiding Operations with Robco Stranding Machines
In the industrial production of braided products, the role of a stranding machine is indispensable. These machines twist yarn and directly take-up onto braiding bobbins, preparing strands for the subsequent braiding phase. Robco’s range of stranding machines, including dual stranders and one-for-one stranders, offers high-speed, efficient, and reliable solutions tailored to various production needs.
Dual Stranders
Robco dual stranding machines are designed for high-speed production, simultaneously producing two high-quality strands specifically for braiding purposes. The twist direction can be either with the same twist direction on each strand or one with S and one with Z. The dual production line comprises a dual strander and one or two bobbin winders, efficiently generating two strands for braiding at once. The bobbin winder excels in precision winding, so you have a very compact bobbin for optimal utilization of density.
Key Features:
- Produces two strands simultaneously, which can be wound onto a single bobbin or two individual bobbins.
- High-performance timing belts for all transmissions, reducing maintenance costs and power consumption.
- Start and stop functions are accessible from either side of the machine or from the control panel on the connected winder, ensuring user-friendly operation.
- The design facilitates easy and quick changes of bobbins, minimizing downtime and enhancing productivity.
One-for-One Stranders
Robco’s one-for-one stranders are specialized for producing thicker ropes and strands that require precision and high-quality twisting. These machines make one twist per revolution and are equipped with an electronically adjustable pre-twister, making them ideal for the production of strands for tubular and square braiding.
Key Features:
- Single twist per revolution provides precise control over the twisting process, making it suitable for larger and thicker products.
- Electronically adjustable pre-twister ensures high-quality output, even for more challenging materials.
- Ideal for producing strands used in both tubular and square braiding.
Robco’s stranding machines are crucial for optimizing the performance of braiding machines. By ensuring that yarns are twisted to perfection and ready for braiding without the need for rewinding, these stranders streamline the entire production process.
The ROBCO range covers both stranding machines as well as twisting machines, rope winding machines/coilers, rope making machines and winding machines.
