The fixed-position splicer for efficient waste yarn recovery

Airbond splicers can be used for a process known as “bit-winding” – where full-weight bobbins are created by repeatedly winding “shorts”, splicing them together several times until a full weight is reached. With perhaps 10 or 20 splices through the its length, the bobbin clearly cannot be used for the most critical applications. However, the output is perfectly satisfactory for second-grade application.

The Model 137 has been developed for this application. It is bolted to the bit-winding machine and is designed for frequently repeated splicing over long periods. Its designed to be operated with a minimum of effort, with the palm of the hand. There is no danger of RSI, however often the splicer is used over a work shift.
