Avert downtime with quick release adapters

Roblon continues to introduce equipment and yarns. According to Roblon it is time to re-think many of the processes in OFC production. Starting with the yarn server – one of its best known machines – Roblon is now offering a dramatic reduction of downtime related to exchange of spools. Roblon introduces a new quick release adapter which, based on compressed air, makes it possible to exchange spools in only a few seconds. Using Roblon quick release adapters, the spools are fastened simply by pulling a small collar. To remove the empty tube after finishing a production run, the adapter is released by compressed air. An additional benefit of using the adapters is increased production speed since they are able to better fasten the spools and minimise vibrations. Combined with Roblon high-speed yarn spools, the maximum rpm of the yarn server can be increased by up to 50 per cent. The adapters will be a standard option for new Roblon servers just as they will be available for upgrading of existing Roblon
