Karl Mayer Upgrades AccuTense, Expands Applications
Germany-based Karl Mayer Textilmaschinenfabrik GmbH has made improvements to the AccuTense line of
computer-controlled yarn tensioners, whose patents and production technologies it acquired when it
took over Textrol Inc., a Monroe, N.C.-based supplier of control systems for the man-made fiber
industry.
AccuTense, a magnetic-induction yarn tensioner, now offers improved accuracy, with tension
deviations of no more than +/- 5 percent from the final value of the setting range, which makes it
suitable for the processing of extremely fine yarns for high-strength technical applications,
according to Karl Mayer. Examples of such applications include electronic circuit boards that
utilize fine glass fabrics, geotextiles, conveyor belts, glass-fiber wallpaper and high-strength
ballistic material processing.

卡尔迈耶升级AccuTense，扩大其应用
德国卡尔迈耶纺机公司对其计算机控制的纱线张紧轮AccuTense进行了改良，这是该公司在收购位于北卡罗来纳州Monroe市的Textrol公司时一并收购的专利和生产技术。T
extrol是一家为人造纤维行业提供控制系统的供应商。
据卡尔迈耶公司称，作为一种磁感应纱线张紧轮，AccuTense目前改进了精确度，张力偏差不超过最终设定范围的正负5度。这使得它适合于高强度技术应用中加工非常细的纱线。这
种应用的例子包括使用细玻璃织物的电子线路板、土工布、传输带、玻璃纤维墙纸以及高强度的弹道材料加工。
