Like all Truetzschler draw frames, the TD 8 features computer-controlled direct drives that makes it far more superior to conventional designs that rely on differential and or angular gears and change wheels. The TD 8 also features an improvement over the already reliable 4-over-3 drafting system - an adjustable pressure bar provides controlled guidance of even short fibres. With such high-precision mechanics, the TD 8 ensures optimal control of the fibre flow.
