The Swiss Stäubli Group, with headquarters in Pfäffikon on Lake Zurich, is a global leading manufacturer of textile machines. Its extensive product range is based on more than a century experience in the traditional textile industry and continued research and development. Today it shows off with high performance shedding machinery and weaving preparation systems as well as carpet weaving machines and technical textile weaving solutions.
Shedding systems for all applications
With their designs for new dobbies, the company founders were able to open new opportunities for the textile industry and set new standards for technical sophistication, reliability and efficiency. The latest generation S3000/3200 rotary dobby family comes with a new locking system, the heart of every dobby. The evolutionary principle features enhanced security for the selection of the heald frames, allowing higher running speeds as well as superior reliability. Less noise and vibration are further advantages offered to the weaver. When it comes to Jacquard weaving, one thinks about Stäubli and its electronic Jacquard machines, developed to perfection and available in many versions to produce practically every imaginable type of pattern and fabric. The extremely versatile type SX Jacquard machine for instance is available in two sizes, with 1408 or 2688 hooks. The machines require a minimum of maintenance and are adaptable to rapier, airjet, water jet, and projectile weft-insertion systems.
Automation in weaving preparation
Weavers are facing increasing demands in terms of quality fabrics, flexibility and delivery deadlines. In response, the weaving process has to be optimized. Stäubli satisfies weaving mills with its drawing-in machines SAFIR and DELTA enhancing efficiency and flexibility in existing weaving preparation departments. The machines are based on proven concepts and state-of-the-art-technologies.
Versatile carpet weaving machines in response to fast-changing markets
With the high-performance carpet weaving machines ALPHA series, Stäubli puts weavers in the position to attain leadership even in fast-changing markets. The versatility of the machines enables carpet mills to respond swiftly to customer wishes by adapting individual designs, bindings and technologies – simply at the push of a button. It also allows the mill to optimize large orders and to save manufacturing costs thanks to special features. The new ALPHA 500 XHDC carpet-weaving machine is a prime example of Schönherr flexibility. It weaves high-density carpeting at a very high reed density of 1,200 and in up to eight colours. With over 3 million pixels/m², patterns are pinpoint sharp. The potential combinations of colours and materials are unparalleled, so designers enjoy extremely broad scope with this new machine.
Long-life machinery adapted to individual needs
Pioneering Stäubli solutions for modern weaving mills are adapted to the requirements of each user and offer economic operating. Highest productivity levels can be maintained even years after purchase of the machines due to the Stäubli customer support including technical services, training, and original spare parts.
