YARN GUIDING

On any kind of textile machine with a moving yarn or fibre, the yarn guide is the only point of contact between yarn and machine, and so is probably the most critical design consideration.

Ascotex has decades of experience in the application of yarn guides in the textile and wire industries and can help you find the right solution for your guiding issues. Working closely with leading OEMS and many of the world’s leading textile and wire producers, we have developed a range of guides to suit all applications.

Complementing our yarn guides, we also manufacture a range of textile accessories such as tensioning devices, break detectors, cutters and threaders.
