Toyota Trtzschler Comber TCO 12 Combing Machine

The Toyota-Trützschler Comber TCO 12 can run at higher nip rates due to fewer mechanically limiting factors. On the TCO 12 combing machine, gears are replaced with specially designed, highly dynamic servo motors for the frequent reversal of rotation. With the conventional one-sided drive, the detaching rollers are subject to twisting during each reversal of rotation. This results in a certain variation of combing quality between the 8 combing heads. The double-sided drive ensures uniform motion of the detaching rollers on all eight combing points. This reduces the otherwise process-related irregularities. DISC MONITOR, the latest draw frame quality sensor, has also been integrated. DISC MONITOR provides data for automatic self-optimisation of the machine. Due to the individual drive technology of the combing elements, the piecing process, for instance, is automatically optimised. Furthermore, deviations in lap weight no longer present a problem, since sliver count is permanently monitored and corrected when necessary. The Comber TCO 12 features multi-servo combing which reduces vibrations even at high nip rates. The TCO 12 also has a narrow frame, unlike other combers that have a wide oil bath gear.
