TSUDAKOMA Looms for technical fabrics

Since founded in , when shuttle looms were flagship for products and sales, TSUDAKOMA provided looms to weave technical fabrics, such as hoses and dust-collecting cloth used for incinerators. We still provide looms for technical fabrics even now, when jet looms are a leading product after the time of rapier looms. With advanced technology, TSUDAKOMA responds to production demands of high level, further extending the field of technical fabric weaving.

Also in the field of technical fabric weaving, it is important to have high reproducibility of setting conditions and ease of handling, as the adjustment work is mainly done by entering numerical values on the user interface.

TSUDAKOMA&#;s weaving machine for technical fabrics is developed based on our standard loom that is highly electronically-controlled and user friendly. It can not only produce high quality technical fabrics but also responds to various demands, such as energy savings or occupational health and safety improvement.

At present, approximately 30% of TSUDAKOMA&#;s looms sold yearly in Japan are provided for the purpose of technical fabric weaving.

Tire's are indispensable for vehicles, an airbag enhances driver&#;s safety, and car seat fabric gives comfortable driving support. TSUDAKOMA&#;s loom weaves these materials and fabrics.
For an automotive airbag, for example, which is a base fabric that will be cut and sewn afterward, a water jet loom is the most reasonable method of weaving. On the other hand, to weave OPW (One-Piece-Woven) side curtain airbag that is followed by hollow weave process, an air jet loom might be the superior method. TSUDAKOMA can offer two solutions with air jet loom and water jet loom.

Airbag fabric, One-Piece-Woven airbag

Depending on the application from coated to non-coated super-high density fabrics, the shedding motion can be chosen (including crank to dedicated positive cam with a different dwell angle).

Belt fabric

For the purpose of efficiency and durability, textile base materials are used for power transmission belts. The same applies to abrasive belts and conveyors. We are capable of weaving high-strength base fabrics.

Tire part (Cord, Chafer etc.)

Automobile tires are required to provide a variety of performance features such as safety, good fuel economy, quietness, and ride comfort. Structural parts made of fibers also play a role in achieving these requirements. We can provide looms with specifications that match the weaving of each component.

&#;Air jet loom for tire cord&#;

The ZAXiTC is for tire cord weaving. It is a dedicated machine provided with all the necessities to weave tire cord fabric, Warp sheet feeding, weft insertion, tuck-in selvage formation, and large-diameter take-up are performed at extremely high speed. Maximum weaving speed reaches 1,000 rpm.

Strong and lightweight

A carbon fiber fabric combines strength and lightness contrary to the conventional wisdom, the more robust, the heavier. The scope of carbon fiber fabric is expanding to the aerospace industry, construction industry, and sports and leisure industry. TSUDAKOMA contributes to the growth of various industries through the loom.

Carbon, Glass

&#;Rapier loom for carbon fiber fabrics&#;

The CR rapier loom targets composite fabrics, carbon fiber or aramid fiber and glass fiber.
Equipped with one-side band rapier mechanism with guideless and slay running system, the CR can reliably weave the 1K~48K fabrics of 150-cm to 210-cm-width (two-panel weave of 100-cm width × 2 panels is also possible) without transferring weft yarn at the middle section of weft insertion. Explosion-proof electric components to prevent fires due to carbon flies, warp supply creel (rolling type with a brake), and dedicated tension stand are provided with the CR rapier loom. A positive cam is provided with the CR rapier loom, responding to the case where not only 1/1 plain weave but twill weave is also needed to make an excellent form. For weft supply, it is possible to choose regular feeder or special feeder without twisted release even for flat yarn.

Both carbon fiber and glass fiber have extremely poor elasticity. If the yarn itself does not have elasticity, weaving is harder. Since both of them have superior strength, it is necessary to cater for different applications, For example, a special cutter which is different from the one used to weave general clothing is needed. TSUDAKOMA will meet the various requirements.

TSUDAKOMA supports customers
from warp preparation process to technical fabric weaving.

TSUDAKOMA also sells the preparatory machines for the warp beam such as warper, sizing machine, and beamer. Warp preparation that is a previous process of weaving is important because it affects the success and quality of weaving. Ranging from the beam forming to weaving, TSUDAKOMA totally supports customers.

For the technical fabrics, the warp preparation machine may need the specifications that are different from those for general clothing fabrics, like the weaving machine. TSUDAKOMA, of course, responds to special requests on warp preparation machines.
