▪ Metallic wires comb through fibres during
the process of carding, remove foreign
matter and short fibers from the material
and align the fibers in a more uniform
direction
▪ TCC metallic wires stand out on account
of their optimised tooth geometries, low
tolerances and high surface quality
▪ TCC uses high-quality, micro-alloyed
steels, which guarantee a long service life
and high economic efficiency
▪ Stringent quality checks guarantee a
reproducible and consistently high quality
metallic wire

7. 7
Metallic wires – hardening process
▪ During conventional hardening processes,
scales develop on the wire surface. These
scales must be mechanically removed by
an additional process. This, however, may
result in damage on the surface of the
wire
▪ TCC adopts a “scale-free” procedure
which prevents development of scales
during the production process
▪ Hardness testing is automated

Metallic wires – quality control process
▪ TCC production lines are subjected to
permanent online monitoring throughout the
production process :
▪ Online measurement of profile height and
base width
▪ Offline measurement of profile

Flat tops – manufacturing sequence

Rubber
Cotton fabric
▪ Flat tops mainly consist of the flats fabric and
metal hooks
▪ TCC uses a “multilayer foundation” in the
flats fabric construction with the covering
layer always consisting of permanently elastic
natural rubber
▪ A flats fabric consists of up to seven single
layers of rubber and cotton that are
constructed like a multilayer sandwich
▪ The wires used are made of micro-alloyed
steel, which are additionally hardened by
TCC
▪ Computer-optimised, biconvex wire cross-
sections and the special geometry of the tips
reduce wire movement during the carding
process

Stationary flats
▪ Carding segments are used not only in
the pre- and post-carding zones of the
main cylinder, but also at the lickerin
rolls
▪ Stationary flats are available in different
varieties depending on card type and
material processed
▪ TCC uses a special procedure to obtain
maximum service life: instead of
grinding the wire tips off, TCC keeps
very narrow tolerances of the carding
segments through elaborate machining
of the wire carrier backs

Cylinder wire – FGX1 features
Standard profile
Cylinder wire- FGX1
▪ The cylinder wires of the FG series are a new
development. The most remarkable
characteristic of this wire is the straight tooth
back
▪ The tooth back keeps the fibres on the surface
and thus ensures an intensive interaction with
the flat tops. Feedback from spinning mills
confirms IPI values that are about 15% better
▪ The quality over longer periods of time is more
constant compared to conventional wires
▪ The long tooth back forms a robust carding
edge. Wear is considerably lower than with
filigree-shaped teeth
▪ In practice, re-sharpening of FG clothing is
eliminated, which means no maintenance

Cylinder wire – FGX1 benefits
▪ Service life up to/more than 1,200 tons
▪ Maintenance free wire; no re-sharpening
required
▪ Improved yarn quality by reduction of neps
▪ Shorter running-in times
▪ Optimum nep reduction
600 tons: no re-sharpening

24. 24
Cylinder wire
Cylinder wire (1.7 mm height) for cotton applications
▪ Working height remains 0.5 mm
▪ Bottom foot height reduced
▪ Ease of mounting
▪ No negative influence on quality and
life
▪ Extensive field trials conducted in OEM
supplies

25. 25
MAGNOTOP
1. The MAGNOTOP flat system is the
result of an intensive cooperation
between Trützschler and TCC
2. The new Trützschler aluminium flat
bars are designed so that the card
clothing can be magnetically fixed by
extra-strong neodymium magnets
3. MAGNOTOP reduces the tolerances
between the single flat bars. This is
ensured by adhesive and
compensation layers on the flat bars
and on each individual clothing strip
4. Benefit: increased yarn quality

Doffer wire – NovoDoff
▪ 100% scale-free surface for doffer wires;
prevents the accumulation of foreign particles as
well as fibre damage
▪ No mechanical brushing – no marks on surface
▪ Side grooves on the teeth ensure safe and
excellent web guiding, lowering the risk of
damage
▪ Longer service life
