Wire Base Design and Mounting Methods
topic
The tooth base is broader than the point for strength and to separate windings. Normal profile (a) for licker-in is pressed into a milled groove; normal profile (b) for cylinder is wound under high tension onto the plain surface. Locked wire (d) and chained wire (c) can be applied to smooth surfaces without milled grooves. Base design affects winding density and hence point population.
Role
Mounting method affects installation time, clothing stability, and replaceability. The trend toward locked and chained wires that don't require milled grooves simplifies licker-in clothing changes, which should occur every 100,000–200,000 kg of throughput.
