The
240 horizontal braider is a prime example of
efficiency, reliability and flexibility in the
braiding world.
The construction of the 240 machine is particularly
simple in concept and design. It is composed by only
3 major elements; gears, horn gears and sealed
bearings that are also interchangeable parts. The
same elements can be used on machines with different
number of carriers (12, 16, 24, 32, 36, 48, 64, 72,
96 carriers machines). One of the latest innovations
on the 240 machines is the new special alloy
hardened, steel track system composed by a series of
independent and replaceable track sections. Materials
with high resistance and particular heat treatments
are used for all rotating and sliding parts, capable
of conferring the highest degree of performance to
the equipment. The precision in the manufacturing of
these parts permits a very low level of preventive
maintenance and does not require any predictive
maintenance.
The machine is also very simple to repair in case of
any carriers’ jam or other sort of problem; a
minimum knowledge of mechanics is required.
All the machines of the 240 series are now supplied
with an automatic lubrication pump for the braiding
plate and with a two-level centralized lubricating
oil tank, with filtration system. The braiding deck
is driven by A.C. motors complete of ventilation
unit, with electronic synchronization between deck
and haul-off or capstan. The 240 braiders also offer
a maximum level of versatility for future expansion
or for line modification. As a matter of fact, it is
very easy to transform a single deck machine to a
double or triple deck line. OMA offers a large
selection of extraction systems to obtain best
results with minimum cost.
In fact the line can be supplied either with Haul
-Off or capstan extraction system, according to the
different production needs. No special foundation is
required for the location of the machine. The level
of productivity of the 240 machines is excellent, 96
- 97 %, due to minor machine down time for
maintenance , bobbin replacement and carriers’
setup.
The " SDC Modular Carrier"
manufactured for OMA by Simon De Young Corporation,
represents the best match with the 240 braiders.
It grants a maximum versatility of use due to the
fact that different bobbin sizes or materials (wire
and textile fibers) can be used with almost the same
carriers components. A wide range of tensions is
available. The "SDC Modular Carrier" also
allows off-line bobbin replacement and carriers
threading and setup, which reduces the bobbin change
over time, at least by half, in respect of the most
commonly used carriers. The carrier can also be
maintained and taken care of off-line during bobbin
replacement, without loss of time, production and any
additional carriers required.
The multiple wire threading carrier head is used to
compensate for the difference in wire tension from
full bobbin to empty bobbin, resulting in a constant
wire tension control. High bobbin capacity assures
long runs and outstanding efficiency standards.
