ECR Warp let-off: Automated Tape and Rope Brake
We modernize existing tape and rope brakes and develop and manufacture customized brake systems specifically tailored to different warp beam sizes. Our goal is to ensure a constant warp tension throughout the entire weaving process – from the full to the empty warp beam.
Traditionally, on ribbon weaving machines, the brake force for tape and rope brakes is generated by weights or spring force to regulate warp tension. These systems require regular manual adjustments, especially when the diameter of the warp beam decreases during the weaving process.
The ECR Warp let-off eliminates this effort by automatically adjusting the tape or rope tension, ensuring constant warp end tension.

Innovation Through Retrofitting
By retrofitting existing tape and rope brakes with the ECR Warp let-off, a modern, highly precise system is created that automatically regulates the warp tension. An integrated load cell continuously monitors the warp tension and dynamically adjusts the brake force via a cylinder. As a result, the warp tension remains constant, whether the warp beam is full or empty – a key advantage for quality control throughout the entire production process.

Energy-Efficient Solution
In cases where the warp tension is sufficient to move the warp beam, it does not need to be actively driven to maintain constant tension. A targeted braking of the warp beam is enough to maintain the desired tension. This approach simplifies the process, reduces energy consumption, and eliminates the need for a mechanical drive.
Advantages of the ECR Warp let-off
