Kamatics introduced a composite carbon flyer bow, which is a new innovative solution for wire processing. The backbone bow is designed to incorporate all the positive features of an enclosed bow without any of the negative associated with operating a tube or totally enclosed flyer bow. The semi – enclosed back bone bow gives the customer increased reliability and performance needed in today’s competitive environment.
KEIR’s back bone bows are unique high performance composite flyer bows by combining aerospace proven technology with a revolutionary tri-axial braiding process. Fully braided standard and backbone constructions have greater durability than layered / laminated designs allowing them layered / laminated designs allowing them to take more hits and endure higher stress equating to increase operating life and less machine down time.
The more aerodynamic Back Bone design functions at lower power consumption (up to 40% less energy) and higher TPM, resulting in improved wire quality and a further reduction in bow breakage.
Features:
- Triaxially braided construction
- Aerodynamic Design
- Toughened Epoxy Matrix
- Lighter Weight
- Adjustable Tensile Flexural & torsional properties.
Benefits:
- Higher Operating Speeds.
- Increased Survival Rates.
- Less Machine Downline.
- Reduced Bearing Loads and Noise.
- Custom Engineered – to meet your individual needs.
- New Materials – Special toughened epoxy with carbon, glass and Kevlar fibers.
It is very much suitable for Bekaert, Caballe, Kinrei, Lesmo, Niehoff, SAMP, TEC, Watson etc. Sizes available with company’s Indian Agent (Ajex & Turner Wire Dies Co.) are .165 (4.2), .245 (6.2), .345 (8.7), .430 (11.0), .450 (11.4) & .930 (23.5).
