With the increasing use of elastomeric and Lycra fabrics in all sectors of
apparel and textile industries NIXTEX have developed the C-TEX RM Relaxing Machine to provide optimum handling and utilisation of tension
sensitive fabric.
• Two stage fabric relaxation.
• Consistent roll output.
• Accurate width batching.
Tensionless input - cloth roll bar feed or twin unwind rollers
|
|
Fabric is unwound off the roll without introducing tension.
Relaxation Stage 1
|
|
Fabric is unwound into a photocell controlled lazy loop , which returns the
fabric to its natural state.
Relaxation Stage 2
|
|
Fabric passes over an air-floatation zone.
Calibrated length measurement
|
|
Fabric length is measured using an industry standard calibrated measuring wheel
combined with an adjustable pressure roller to eliminate material slippage.
Automatic width monitoring
|
|
Fabric width is measured throughout the complete length of roll.
Accurate edge control
|
|
Photoelectrical sensors for accurate
re-rolling of material.
re-rolling of material.
Consistent output - twin rewind rollers
|
|
Processed rolls are rewound with the minimum amount of tension and are
consistent from roll to roll.
Data collection and analysis system
|
|
The data collected is automatically processed offering objective supplier
appraisal and management information for production planning.
