periods and without frequent operator intervention.

machine BMV 16 demonstrated at the wire 2018 trade fair was also equipped with the WTM (wire tension monitoring) system: The tension at each spool carrier is measured by means of integrated measurement electronics at the dancer and transmitted to the control panel of the BMV. There, a visualisation of the tension is carried out for each spool carrier. Mean values and extreme values are displayed to the operator, who can quickly react to possible changes and impact positively on the quality of the braiding product. By means of other monitoring systems, some optionally available, BMV braiders can operate unattended for extended
