Rope prodn. ensuring ease of handling - uses machinery which is adapted to glass or carbon@ fibre filament or cords twisted from these

摘要

Rope, consists of monofilament or twisted cord, which are stable, stretch free, organic or inorganic single profile, or cords twisted from this. The inlaid turns in the rope length correspond to the raw material used. The rope machine has a motor to drive the cradles for plastic bobbins which hold the raw material for the rope. The drive has a reverse mechanism so that the disc and central drive can move in direction when the bobbins move in the direction. The monofilament may be impregnated or coated with polymer. The rope is made without a core. The raw material is glass or carbon fibre monofilament from 0.3mm to 12mm. To avoid breaks in the material the number of inlaid turns is restricted to 7 per metre. It may have a right or left twist. Suitable tension arrangements are made on the machine, and the take-up is set to correspond to prodn. rate. ADVANTAGE - The procedure ensures ease of handling, freedom from broken fibres. The rope produced has a large range of end uses. It stands up to the weather, is non-stretch and lighter than steel, which it replaces. It stores well, and does not corrode in use.
