Speed makes sense with SMIT’s 2FAST weaving machine
Weaving, in a traditional sense, is the main production stage of textile products. The fabric is the next creation after people learnt to transform fibres into yarns. Combining weft and warp systems on a vertical angle through a shuttle is the basic of the process.
Prior to weave; warp preparation, drawing, sizing and weft preparation are specified as preparation processes. After these processes, the fabric can be woven.
The process, which was carried out on hand looms for centuries, has been developed with the possibilities of electrical-electronic systems. This development can actually be seen as the transition from shuttle machines to non-shuttle machines. Industrial weaving looms are now based on projectile, rapier, airjet and waterjet technologies. Cam motion machines, dobby machines and jacquard machines are classified according to shed forming mechanisms.
Karl Mayer, Staubli and Groz-Beckert solutions in the preparation, Picanol and Itema in the wide-width looms, and Jakob Müller in narrow weaving are the most important global brands. Van de Wiele is the most important player in the woven carpet market. In terms of technical weaving, Dornier draws attention in the market.
The growing and diversified demand in the textile industry with the effect of fashion encourages the creation of machines with different and new features. Increases in machine speeds and widths are the main development areas of the recent period.
