Turkey boasts impressive know-how in narrow weaving on needle looms or on specialized weaving machines. As a result, Turkish textile manufacturers are among the world’s top narrow-fabric producers. To maintain this leadership position, weavers must remain innovative and ensure efficient production conditions in the mill. Many Turkish mills rely on high-performance machinery like Stäubli LX 12/LX 32/LX 62 electronic Jacquard machines.
Weaving narrow fabrics – whether labels, decorative ribbons, belts, trimmings, or elastic ribbons for lingerie – requires specialized know-how as well as equipment that delivers a range of performance advantages and technical capabilities such as precise shed formation, reliability, and easy programming and control to handle innovative designs and frequent style changes in a quickly changing market environment.
Sophisticated working principle in jacquard machines
Stäubli LX 12, LX 32 and LX 62 Jacquard machines are fitted with 192 to 896 hooks and controlled by the Stäubli JC7N, which synchronizes with the weaving machine. One key to the outstanding shed formation achieved by these Jacquard machines is the sophisticated operating principle, which employs a special lifting mechanism (double-lift open-shed, with crank drive) that makes for absolutely vibration-free operation, even at the highest operating speeds. These Jacquard machines start up quickly, are easy to operate, and allow unlimited creativity.
Used in combination with a high-quality, built-to-order Stäubli harness, all customer preferences and requirements can be met and the full range of design options remains open. The quick fitting and removal of the harness is supported by the MX modules. The perforated board incorporating cleverly designed angles supports the wide variety of design options. And thanks to their compactness (a servo-motor drive mechanism is available for certain models); these machines fit easily into any weaving mill, even those with limited space.
Stäubli LX 12, LX 32 and LX 62 Jacquard machines have gained a significant market share in Turkey; and have proven highly reliable in daily operation in many mills. The local Stäubli team works closely with these mills not only to support them in their everyday challenges; but also to assist them in going a step further with innovative narrow woven applications; and thereby remain leaders in the market.
