Stäubli presents latest development at IGATEX 2022
The company’s broad product range includes solutions for automated weaving preparation, frame and Jacquard weaving, and carpet and technical textile weaving.
Stäubli machines feature state-of-the art technologies developed through 130 years of experience and apassion for continued research to bring even more advantages to every weaving mill. Visitors to IGATEX will learn about Stäubli’s latest highlight for Jacquard weaving: the brand new SX PRO Jacquard machine. This energy-efficient machine was recently launched at ITM 2022 in Istanbul and has already been installed in several weaving mills, performing reliably and efficiently.
By listening carefully to customers’ needsand applying its extensive market knowledge, Stäubli has long been a leading manufacturer of high-end weaving machinery. Market demands for air-jet and rapier weaving have been vigorous, and Stäubli has responded with a number of high-performance solutions, including the exceptional S1792 cam motion, boasting state-of-the-art technologyanddelivering high performance, reliability, and speed. Since it was launched at ITMA 2019, over 5,500 units have been sold worldwide. The S1792 model stands out not only for the number of units sold in this short period but also for being the first model that performs at speeds upto 1400 rpm*. It masters both of the main challenges of air-jet weaving: quality and performance.
Both frame and Jacquard weaving require optimum weaving preparation in order toproducea maximum of first-class fabric and deliver on time.Raw material costs are rising, which is another reason yarn consumption should be optimized. Stäubli’s wide range of weaving preparation solutions includes machines and systems for quality warp and style changes like the TIEPRO tying machine and the SAFIR S40 automatic drawing-in system.The SAFIR S40 is ideally suited for denim and cotton applications. Its functional concept (onemobile machine ideally serving two or more stationary drawing-in stations) allows custom configuration of the layout to precisely meet any mill’s specific requirements and easily integrate into the organisation. The machine draws directly from one warp beam into the drop wires, healds, and reed. State-of-the-art technologies like optical yarn recognition assure topquality of the finished drawn-in harness, in particular, precise colour repeats and no double yarns. The systemcan recognise and manage not only colours but also the repeat of S-/Z-twisted yarns. For the highest performance in drawing indouble-warp-beam staple-fibre applications like fancy denim warps, Stäubli offers the new AWC option Layer & Offset Management. This feature allows easy adjustment and perfect alignment of the two yarn layers during the drawing-in process and thus prevents any loss of drawing-inspeed.
Highly flexible and responsive partner responding to the mill’s specific needs
No matter how good a machine is, its full potential can be realised only through perfect operation. That’s why customer support is a top priority at Stäubli.
