The multi-purpose auto-cut splicer – with improved string-up.

The 142 is designed for exactly the same yarns as the Model 141 – relatively fine yarns for industrial applications. The difference is that the Model 142 is supplied with a radical new hood design.

In some environments (such as when splicing must be performed above head-height), the 141 can be difficult to string-up – the yarn entry slots and clamps are not clearly visible. In these circumstances, a “bomb-proof” string-up system is desirable. The Model 142 meets these needs. In all other essentials, it performs as a 141 – but in difficult conditions it makes the operator’s life much easier. Hand-held, fixed, or rail-mounted, the 142, like the 141, can meet most factory needs, and if circumstances change, new 141 bodies to the required configuration can be printed quickly by Airbond.. The splicer can be supplied with a blast timer, or with a flow control system which supplies low-pressure air to the blast chamber, while keeping full pressure for the cutters. The cutters are adjustable, to enhance performance.
