Abstract
A machine is provided for processing elongate strand-form material, having a rotatably mounted rotor bow which is used to twist the strand-form material and, proceeding from a cross-sectional area, extends in the direction of a longitudinal axis. In the direction of this longitudinal axis, the rotor bow extends in a curved manner at least in portions. In this direction, the rotor bow has a longitudinal groove extending substantially orthogonal to this cross-sectional area. At least regions of this longitudinal groove are covered by at least one guide element. In this rotor bow, the strand-form material is guided movably in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The present rotor bow is preferably made of plastics, preferably reinforced with fibers.
Claims10
A machine for processing elongate strand stock, comprising:
- a rotatably mounted rotor bow, which serves to twist the strand stock, with:
- an extension substantially along a longitudinal axis, at least sections of which are curved;
- a cross-section described by a cross-sectional area and extending substantially right-angled to the longitudinal axis;
- a longitudinal groove extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis and having its cross-section described by a longitudinal groove cross-sectional area, wherein the strand stock can be movably guided in the direction of the longitudinal axis in said longitudinal groove of the rotor bow;
- the rotor bow consisting of plastic reinforced with fibers and being formed as a solid body profile,
- at least one guide element being provided which covers the longitudinal groove cross-sectional area over at least portions of the longitudinal extension of said longitudinal groove and which is adapted for guiding the strand stock,
- and said cross-sectional area exhibiting a substantially elliptical basic form.
