Designed to apply preset tension to tapes and wires when banding armatures.

▼ Tension is monitored continuously by a hydraulic sensing head fitted with a calibrated manual dial display. Variable tape tensions can be set and a “quick release” is actuated to release tension at the end of the banding cycle.
▼ Tension can be easily varied via adjustments made to the tension reel arrangement.
▼ Straightening rollers, pre-tension pads and guide rollers are provided for banding with wire.
▼ The BTU100 can be simply floor mounted, fitted to the saddle of an existing winding machine or incorporated with the Ridgway TS traversing saddle to offer a complete solution.
▼ The TS Traversing Saddle consists of a pair of rails suitably braced for floor mounting. The traversing saddle is easily moved smoothly along the horizontal axis via a manually operated gear and chain driven rack and pinion. The standard traverse length is 1500mm however other lengths can be made to order.
