Abstract
This invention relates to a tension buffer system for multi-wirepay-off system. The tension buffer system comprises guiding pulleys () adapted to guide wires () being paid off, and reversing pulleys (). Each reversing pulley () is adapted to guide a wire () from the guiding pulley () and back to the guiding pulley (), two reversing pulleys () are rotatably mounted on a first support (), the first support () is pivoted around first support axis () lying between the two reversing pulleys () so that pivoting brings one of the two reversing pulleys () closer to the guiding pulley () while the other of the two reversing pulleys () more remote from said guiding pulley (). This invention provides a mechanical device to balance the tension difference between multiple wires in the pay-off system to produce a steel cord with constant tension and satisfactory quality.
