All our double twist machines are now equipped with a brand new brake system that allows a much better tension control of the filaments wire. The brake system is designed to gradually increase the breaking force while the spool is emptied keeping the tension of the wire constant. The great advantage of this system is that once set it does not need any adjustment and the variation in tension between full and empty spool is below 5%.
This system is in place in all out DT6 - DTA - DTS and DTU machines from 355 to 630 mm. For the larger machines we have a choice of several technical solutions even with fully motorized payoffs where the wire payoff tension can be set electronically.
