8. Fabric take-down system


In principle of the take-down tension strength must be small and average.
The take-down system is controlled by torque motor. There are two
important things to adjust the take-down tension strength.
Each roller can be adjusted individually. The pressure of roller gets larger
and the speed of fabric take-down gets faster.

☉To detect fabric falling or wraparound, there is equipped with a press-off


detector in the front of roller and a fabric roll-up detector in the back of
roller. The machine will stop automatically when the fabric happens fall or
wraparound.
