SAFIR PRO S67 for high-speed drawing-in of shirting warps

The SAFIR PRO S67 high-speed automatic drawing-in system is the right choice for the production of fabrics made using one warp sheet with one or two yarn layers. Typical applications are blouse or shirting fabrics with sophisticated color patterns, women's and men's outerwear made of the finest worsted wool, and home textiles such as upholstery fabrics or table linens. Even technical textiles such as protective clothing and screen-printing fabrics are among the end products whose quality is enhanced by the drawing-in quality of this system.

Consisting of a stationary drawing-in machine and one, or, as a rule, two mobile drawing-in trucks, the system draws the yarn into the reed, drop wires, and healds with up to 20 weaving frames – fully automatically and exactly according to the repeat. The machine control takes over the transport of the mobile drawing-in trucks during the drawing-in process. The final product is the warp with yarn sheet completely drawn into the healds, drop wires, and reed.

This system design provides very high drawing-in performance, speed, and, most importantly, error-free drawing in.

Maximum productivity with Active Warp Control 2.0

The purpose of the Stäubli cutting edge technology “Active Warp Control 2.0” (AWC 2.0) is the 100% controlled identification and handling of warp yarns in order to achieve the highest quality and reliability for an efficient downstream weaving process. In its standard version, the SAFIR S67 is equipped with the AWC 2.0 Double End Detection making weavers benefit from faultlessly drawn in harness. Additional options – depending on the application – e.g. Repeat Detection and/or Repeat Management (for colors or S-/Z-directions), are available. AWC 2.0 detects the finest color nuances.
