Texkimp supply a complete range of accessories for the unwinding, tensioning and guiding of all types of yarn, cord, tape or fibres.

  TK Thread Tension Units

TK DISK-COMP Tension Unit
A unique friction disk tension device for threads. Converts varying infeed tension to constant output tension by means of a patented mechanical open loop control.


TK ROTO-COMP Tension Unit
A unique device for tensioning threads. Converts varying infeed tension to constant output tension by means of a patented mechanical open loop control.



  Condenser boards

 

Fixed Width
For precise sheet width and thread spacing in conformity to the geometry of the creel and the specification of the product.


Steplessly Adjustable
A concept unique to Texkimp, providing centralised adjustment (manual or powered) of both inclination and spacing of the guide bars.


Inclinably Adjustable
Allowing alteration of thread or tow density across the sheet width.


Universally Adjustable
Providing manual adjustment and maximum flexibility when setting the yarn sheet.



  Combs


Expanding combs
Allow stepless variation of sheet width and spacing between threads or tows, incorporating a number of independent combs sections.


Straight combs
Ceramic coated pins fixed into a ceramic coated base bar, allowing the threads or tows to run in contact with and to deviate round the bar.


Swivel combs
Centre pivoting action, defines the setting of the thread or tows across the sheet, enabling fine adjustment of the sheet width and spacing between fibre tows.



  Rollers and guide bars


Plain faced rollers
Turn sheets of tows, upwards or downwards, through large angles in short distances, providing considerable space saving in the process line.


Grooved rollers
Effectively change the direction of sheets of parallel tows through more than one plane, both vertically and horizontally without rubbing friction.


Guide bar and full package simulation bars
Non-rotating supports over which fibre and thread sheets run and deviate.



  End break / lost end detection

SM -B end break detection system - Beam Type
The SM-B end break detection system is a completely non-contact system used to detect end breaks across a sheet of running ends. The system can be placed at various points in the process as multiple beams can be inter-connected and placed in close proximity to one another.


SM-D end break detection system - Dropper Type
The SM-D end break detection system is an electro-mechanical system used to detect end break across a sheet of running ends. The system can be placed at various points in the process and multiple banks can be inter-connected.
