OD4 Open Width
Take-up Device for Single Knit Machines
The OD4 take-up device is a down-sized
version of our compact type OD2 take-up device. The
smaller take-up frame allows the operator to easily
access to the knitting head and work more efficiently.
This take-up device can be used for our various single
knit machines such as raceway machines and striper
machines.
< Main functions and features >
1. Minimized frame size
While keeping the roll width of the standard OD2 type
take-up device, the frame size is minimized to the limit
for better accessibility to the knitting head. The bed
height lower than that of OD2 enables the operator to
work more efficiently in a comfortable body position.
2. Movable cutter unit
The movable cutter unit can be set to the best cutting
position in accordance with the width of the size ring (Cadratex).
3. Prevention of fabric edge curling
A spiral roll is used for preventing fabric edges from
curling when wound on the reel roll. It stretches
creases and corrects possible fabric distortion.
4. Tubular fabric roll-up
Tubular fabrics can also be rolled up by moving the
take-up position and replacing some parts of the regular
OD4.
5. Roll carrying-out tray
A fabric tray fitted with caster wheels for taking out a
fabric roll from the machine is supplied as standard.
6. Steel machine guards
Safe and solid steel machine guards are used. The highly
visible windows allow the operator to easily check for
faults on the fabric being knitted. An optional
work-step can be fitted to the machine guards.
7. Compatibility with striper machines
Our OD take-up units are compatible with striper
machines. It is possible to cut out the selvage portion
using two cutter units before rolling up the fabric. The
cut selvage is taken out from the machine by suction and
put into a waste bin. This serves to make the fabric
roll diameter uniform. It is also possible to include
the selvage portion into the fabric roll using only one
cutter unit.
