110 detailed description
Simple ends-opposed splicer for very heavy counts.
We have identifed a need for a splicer for making "ends-opposed" splices in yarns of very heavy count - typically glass fibre rovings of up to 4800 tex, Nm 0.2. In the past, this need was met by a product known as Model 403, and a more complex version called the 209 - both derivatives of an old-style form of splicer, the 200/400 Series.
The old 400 Series splicers did not lend themselves to present day operating conditions – they were rather complex, and time-consuming to repair. A replacement was sought, offering superior performance to the old splicers, and simpler construction. The existing 101 carpet yarn splicer had been designed with durability and simple servicing in mind, and had proved very successful. A programme of development in early 2003 set out to use a body of the same form as the 101 to produce a splicer which did the same job as the 403/209. The result was a splicer similar to the 101 - simple, small and light, but one which was capable of splicing ends-opposed joints in rovings.

The 110 has, since its introduction in 2003, set a standard as an effective and user-friendly tool for making extra-large splices in very heavy yarns. Its performance, after only a short production life, is already far superior to that of the 403 and 409. It has been widely accepted as an effective heavy-count splicer in countries across the world. |
Just like the 101, the splicer is tough, having been machined out of a solid block of alloy. Its yarn guide plates are much stronger than is necessary for their function as guides; the thick stainless steel plates give the splicer a strong box-like structure. The 110 is already splicing 4800 tex as routine, and a development programme is under way to extend its range beyond 10000 tex.
The 110 has no trimming knives. The operator hand-trims the splice after completion. Because of this feature of the design, there is no concern about the condition of the knives, and therefore no limitation to the count, or the toughness, of the yarn being spliced. The 110 can therefore splice heavy rovings in glass, or relatively fine yarns in aramids.
Distinctive characteristics of the 110 Series include:
· simple straight-line string-up.
· unusually simple and strong construction.
· simple maintenance; it can be completely dismantled and re-assembled in about ten minutes.
The Model 110 is a range of six closely related splicers. All models use a common basic body. Models differ only in the length of the handle, and in the accessories fitted to the splicer.
