Briefly describe the functions of the three main components of a cloth rolling machine, as well as the methods for lubrication.

　　We know that fabric rolling machines are widely used in the apparel and textile industry, performing different functions depending on their specific design. This machine consists of several key components—let’s now take a brief look at the roles of its three main structural elements, as well as how to properly lubricate them!

　　It is generally believed to consist of three main parts: 1) the unwinding section; 2) the traction section; and 3) the winding section.

　　1. Open-book section

　　The unwinding mechanism consists of a tension control system and an unwinding arm responsible for handling the material. The traction unit drives the fabric as it is unwound, while the force controller regulates the operating speed. The unwind shaft is equipped with a braking mechanism designed to manage the tension on the shaft. To ensure consistent tension—especially when the diameter of the unwinding roller changes—the system adjusts the unwinding speed to remain roughly constant.

　　2. Traction Section

　　The traction mechanism is responsible for pulling the coil, primarily driven by the traction roller. The traction components ensure that the fabric is accurately guided onto the winding shaft. The system’s base speed is determined by the linear velocity of the traction motor, and this speed directly influences the quality of the winding.

　　3. Winding Section

　　The unwinding mechanism consists of upper and lower winding units, each driven by its own dedicated motor. Additionally, a tension detection device is installed at the point where the fabric passes, enabling closed-loop control of the tension in the winding section.

　　The three components of the rolling mill are interconnected. Each part influences the operation of the subsequent structure. They are tightly linked, playing a critical role in ensuring the smooth execution of the rolling process by the mill.

　　Do you know how to lubricate the drive mechanism of a cloth rolling machine? In rolling mills, many sliding bearings are manually greased with manual grease guns, while rolling bearings are lubricated using grease guns. Solenoid valves can be used to precisely control the timing of lubrication, ensuring gears are properly oiled. For added convenience, manual re-lubrication is also available for routine maintenance. The spindle or gearbox distributor provides multiple lubrication points, and sensors can monitor the operational status of the entire system.

　　The automatic edge-aligning mechanism is a critical component of fabric rolling machines, significantly boosting production efficiency. By automating the edge-alignment process, these machines reduce the need for manual intervention, simplifying labor-intensive tasks. Mastering this technology is essential to meeting the growing demands for automated and intelligent manufacturing processes.

　　The automatic slope-aligning mechanism is a key component of the fabric rolling machine. If efficiency isn’t improved, it could mean the company will be left behind. Yet, this mechanism directly impacts a company’s production efficiency. As such, enhancing the performance of the automatic slope-aligning system in fabric rolling machines is seen as crucial for boosting apparel manufacturers’ output capacity, reducing labor costs, and enabling the launch of products that can compete effectively in the market.

　　Overseas fabric rolling machines boast mature and superior automatic edge-aligning technology, but they come at a very high price and are notoriously difficult to maintain. In contrast, domestically produced rolling machines currently lack this advanced automatic edge-alignment feature. However, the development of domestic rolling machines now focuses on incorporating stable and reliable automatic edge-alignment systems, ensuring these machines continue to play an indispensable role—though there are still areas where their functionality falls short of perfection.

　　The above briefly outlines the functions of the three main components of a cloth rolling machine, as well as their lubrication methods. When the winding machine operates at high speed, the outer casing can become severely overheated—so consider installing a forced circulation system equipped with an oil pump. This system connects to all critical areas via an oil tank, delivering spray lubrication directly to moving parts.
