TW Special Report
At the heart of the LXL are MX modules, serving as the link between the lifting
mechanism and the harness. For each weft insertion, each hook of the modules can
be positioned either up or down, corresponding to the individual pattern required for
each type of airbag and adapting to the complexity of the design. Each hook is driven
independently, thanks to the operator-friendly JC7 controller in which all weaving data
are stored and then transmitted to the jacquard modules, pick by pick. All data can
easily be transferred to and from the jacquard controller via USB stick or network.
Filtration fabrics are among the technical textiles upon which users place the highest
demands. Filter fabrics are used in process filtration, silk screening, as filter
components, in medical applications and also in architecture. Ultrafine fabrics
increasingly are used in the high-tech field of smart textiles.
One thing is common to all these application areas: Precision fabrics are required —
and this calls for customer-specific solutions. Highly specialized weaving mills possess
the necessary know-how. These mills are not just weavers, but can respond to the
individual needs of the application technology and can ensure on-time delivery of a
specified end product made using the finest yarns.
But before the yarn can be woven, the warp must be drawn into the weaving harness.
Warps can measure up to 400 centimeters in width, comprising tens of thousands of
threads — sometimes in numbers approaching 100,000 threads.
As the technical and quality requirements for technical textiles and composites grow,
machinery manufacturers will continue to support the industry with ever-increasingly
sophisticated machinery and technologies.
