  Super Expansion

  Using two specially designed frame lengths, superior straightness can be achieved with 99.7% elongation of the total comb element length. This allows for easier yarn insertion and a range of pitch settings double that of previous expansion systems.

  About Super Combs

  The Super Comb has increased accuracy in the area of the comb joints resulting in more stable pitch across the length of the expansion assembly like that of a straight comb.

  The needles are arranged with micron-level accuracy using a digitally controlled machining process. The joint segments at both ends of the comb frame are also produced with the same digitally controlled machining process resulting in more stable reed segment connections and thicker framing around the end pins, preventing pin breakage in the area of the frame joints. A new frame joint configuration results in a greater range of angles between combs and increased maximum lengths. This solderless process makes the Super Combs much more environmentally freiendly products than their previous versions.
