Apparatus for crimping synthetic plastic cables

摘要

An apparatus for crimping cables formed of synthetic filaments during a continuous spinning-stretching process includes two pressing rolls which form a crimping chamber into which a cable to be crimped by the rolls is inserted. One of the rolls is displaced from an operative position to a readiness position at a full apparatus speed. Upon displacement of the pressing roll into the ready-to-operate position, a gap between the rolls becomes wider and the crimping chamber opens longitudinally so that a passage is formed, which allows the cable to be inserted into the chamber from the front side thereof by means of a suction injector.
