Fibre proof tester adds extended tension ranges

During proof testing, the fibre is typically payed off, tested by loading the fibre between two capstans with a particular force and is then taken-up with a dancer.

In order to meet the requirements of specialty fibres, special attention has been paid to high-quality take-ups and pay-offs, flexible configurations, quick set-ups, easy operation, and maintenance.

A top performance level is reached by efficient servo motors, high accuracy tension sensors, and purpose to special design dancer which guarantee effective winding at high speeds.

A cutting plan can be keyed in to the unit so that it stops when desired length is reached.

When designing the OFC35SF, Rosendahl Nextromhas put a special focus on ergonomics and ease of use as well as on safe and comfortable use of the machine. For example, the threading mode and fibre clamp of the take-up make the set-up very easy. The operator then only needs to change full reels in the pay-off and empty reels in the take-up.

It is a system that is easy to handle and it fulfils international proof testing standards.

Specifications OFC35SF include a a speed of 300 m/min, a tensile Pulling Force (machine) at 5 – 50 N and bending wheel diameter of 10 – 75 mm.
