Project:
Alternative solution for tensioning warp beams in looms without using mechanical weights or springs
Requirements
- Warp beam brake in looms
- Ensuring constant and adjustable tension of the yarn
- Simple, compact, easy-to-use solution
- Clean solution in order to protect the high-quality fabrics
- Automatic regulation of the thread tension in the loom
Solution
- Tensioning the warp beams using a pneumatic spring consisting of a fluidic muscle and a pressure regulator
- The fluidic muscle is constantly under pressure and can thus be operated in the same position for days without getting stuck.
- Tensile force is adjusted by a pressure regulator.
- Smooth motion of the fluidic muscle permits precision adjustment of force applied to the friction belt, and thus of thread tensioning as well.

Customized solutions for the textile industry
Do you want to simplify your processes, make them more reliable and also save time and money? Then we can help you with our individual solutions - precisely tailored to the needs of the textile industry.
PrePacks
These reduce your process costs in purchasing and logistics:
You simply put together several individual components and receive everything in one packaging unit and under a single part number.
PreAssemblies
In this way, you further reduce the amount of assembly work required. From ready-to-install units right up to complete modules and sub-systems.
Engineering tools like the Festo Design Tool FDT help you to plan, configure and order your products.
