Selvedge Let-off SOLEX
Solution for the selvedge let-off SOLEX on both sides of the weaving machine.
AN EXAMPLE OF THIS SOLUTION FAMILY:
SELVEDGE THREAD LET-OFF SOLEX
DESIGNED FOR PERFECT THREAD TENSION IN THE SELVEDGE
OVERVIEW
When weaving dense fabrics, it can happen that the selvedge area of the fabric becomes looser than the rest. This leads to floppy selvedge, which complicate further processing.
This waviness has a particularly negative impact when the fabric is
unrolled and then rerolled. The wider as the fabric produced, the more pronounced the waviness becomes.
KEY ADVANTAGES
- Avoiding wavy selvedge areas
- Setting of selvedge tension with spring and control screw
- Optional tension measuring unit available
- Easy handling
- Maintaining consistent selvedge tension throughout the entire production process
AVOIDING FLOPPY FABRIC SELVEDGES
When weaving dense fabrics such as airbags or filter fabrics, the selvedges areas of the fabric can become looser and wavier, a phenomenon known as selvedge waviness or “floppy fabric selvedge.” This waviness occurs particularly in wide fabrics. A globally recognized solution to prevent this issue is the SOLEX selvedge thread let-off which effectively eliminates the formation of wavy selvedges on wide weaving looms.
Often, the floppy selvedge is more pronounced on one side of the fabric than the other. With the SOLEX devices mounted on both sides, this imbalance can be addressed allowing for adjustments on each side to meet specific requirements.
By preventing floppy selvedge, the negative effects on subsequent processing steps such as finishing and converting can be avoided. Additionally, when winding fabric preventing waviness, reduces material congestion and helps avoid the formation of wrinkles.
