An electronically controlled 3-roller system is responsible for take-down of the final reinforcing textile and panel fabric can be cut into strips by a cutting mechanism located in front of the batching unit into a maximum of 18 pieces.

A synchronised or torque-controlled batching unit with a capacity of up to 4 tons per roll is available for fabric take-up, with the maximum diameter of the roll being 1,170 mm.

The Biaxtronic CO combines the latest materials with complex design solutions, especially in terms of the drive technology and the weft insertion system.

These optimised features enable this high-performance machine to reach speeds of up to 1,400 min-1 and to achieve maximum production rates of 6.5 m/min, with weft laying frequencies being also extremely high.

The Biaxtronic can produce top-quality products, despite its high speeds and the continuous transport belt for feeding the chopped glass strands under the yarn layers produces textiles with no faults.

This system guarantees that the chopped glass strand mat and the weft layer are kept separate at all times and with its intelligent weft yarn management system; the Biaxtronic CO also produces a top-quality product.

The 90º reinforcing yarns are inserted accurately and handled gently, thanks to the use of a complementary laying device as a yarn compensator.

Yarn feed at the weft laying device has also been improved to further reduce stressing of the yarns and feeding-in of the zero inlays has also been improved. (AR)
