Twisting and Cabling Machinery
category
Twisting and cabling machinery combines and twists two or more yarn ends together through ring twisting, two-for-one twisting, or cabling operations to produce plied yarns, cords, and ropes with improved tensile strength, roundness, and reduced pilling for weaving, sewing thread, technical cord, and specialty yarn applications requiring the performance improvement and aesthetic characteristics of multi-ply construction.
Role
Provides the ply twisting and cabling operations that combine individual yarn ends into multi-ply yarn structures with the circular cross-section, balanced construction, and enhanced tensile properties required for sewing threads, weaving yarns, technical cords, and speciality textile applications where single-end yarn performance is inadequate for the mechanical demands of the application or the aesthetic requirements of the fabric.
