maintains its pioneering role and
introduces the FT control on the
market, a completely new innovative
system supporting reliable real-time
transfers of largest data volumes.
The complete communication
structure with control and process
levels is based on the Fast-Ethernet
technology. This system is also in-
tegrated in the safety concept for
the new A380 Airbus. This clearly
emphasizes the high importance

liability in data transfers. The new
control is a sustainable innovation
carrier and also guarantees long-term
reliability for future developments in
electronics and drive technology.
It succeeds in optimizing utilization
of machine functions at high perfor-
mance and therefore increasing the
effect on reducing energy consump-
tion. This allows precise control and
monitoring of machine parameters
critical for quality. This gives the
weaver more reliability “on board the
weaving machine”.

this innovative electronic technology.
The new, pioneering and patented
drive concept SyncroDrive is one of

by-wire will certainly be very clear
on this Jacquard machine. An electric
control circuit to the separate drive
of the Jacquard machine replaces the
cardan connection between weaving
and Jacquard machines.

running meeting the demands from
sophisticated weavers will be shown

chine at 900 rpm. An African damask

Separate starts for the Jacquard and
weaving machines then merging at a
rendezvous point allows a soft start
which halves the peak current and
ensures high speed stability without
peak forces. This reduces wear on
all components in the shedding area
such as the harness and thus reduc-
es machine standstills and warp end
breaks.
This drastic reduction in mechani-
cal loads means weaving machines
with this drive concept run 6-10 per
cent faster, and with explicit approval

The Lindauer DORNIER GmbH, as family company pro-
ducing solely in Germany, focuses on innovation and sus-
tainability. Its motto at ITMA 2011 is “DORNIER weave-
by-wire”. New developments are shown in all three
application areas of domestic textiles, clothing and tech-
nical textiles.
