When working with a new tape, operators need to know how to adjust the tension on the tape and thread, as well as the spool height on the machine—and a lot more. Occasionally, the tape itself needs adjusting, says Jeff Miller, senior vice president of BRK Tape & Textiles, based in Pico Rivera, California. “It must run smoothly and efficiently during production. You have to be proactive—sometimes you must adjust the tape, its width or stiffness. Another big issue is tape splicing.” From ultrasonic welds to tightly sewn seams, BRK has developed different methods of splicing tapes to accommodate different tape constructions, mattress designs and tape-edge machinery, Miller says.

It’s not news that modern brake systems can apply force at individual corners, and virtually every AWD setup can funnel power to the wheels that have grip. However, thanks to the way Audi has located components and networked everything, the E-Tron’s Quattro is able to monitor and react for grip and slip ultra quickly. That’s great news for handling, whether you’re imitating your favorite rally driver or doddering to hot yoga on an icy morning.
