Research and Application of a New Constant Tension Control Device of the Carbon Fiber Warping Machine

This paper presents a new constant tension control device which is suitable for warping of the carbon fiber or the flake yarns which are zero twist, high tensile strength, low shear strength, high specific modulus and self-lubrication and can meet the requirements of the warp tension of the carbon fiber multi-layer weaving equipment which is in the process of development. The device can make yarn tension consistent in warping process. Especially with the decrease of the diameter of yarn tube, the tension of yarn sheet is consistent in warping process. In the process of warping the warp doesnt twist and wear is small. The experimental results show that the mechanism can realize accurate control on the tension of the single yarn and the yarn sheet, and is able to meet the requirements of the warp tension of the carbon fiber multi-layer weaving equipment which is in the process of development.
