Karl Mayer launches tensioner for non-stretch glass yarns

This new principle of multiple wrapping means that the filaments are not damaged and there is no abrasion. The yarn is also handled gently by the change in the entry and exit direction of the yarn. With the conventional versions, the entry and exit sides are opposite to each other.

The yarns are deflected by an additional guide to avoid adjacent devices from colliding when they are arranged parallel to each other. This additional friction point puts stress on the yarn. The handling processes are also increased compared to the new system with entry and exit from the same side.

Another advantage of the AccuTense 0º Type C in terms of user friendliness is that the pre-tension can be adjusted easily. This can be done simply by adding or removing weights, without having to use a screwdriver. It is also easier to adjust the new yarn tensioners in relation to each other, which is an advantage in terms of maintaining the accuracy of the yarn tension throughout the entire creel.
