Application example Winding process in textile winding machines

Requirements
In textile winding machines, sensitive and pretensioned linear guides are required to guide the yarn guide parallel to and at the correct distance from the bobbin surface. A jerky movement of the guide would prevent the perfection of the bobbin assembly and lead to damage to the yarn.
Solution
Linear guides with adjustable sliding resistance
Linear guide used
Advantages
Franke linear guides can be set to a customised and reproducible sliding resistance. The cassettes have a low breakaway torque, which prevents jerking.
