From tying machines to high-performance
heald frames, Groz-Beckert offers web technolo-
gy for the entire weaving industry. In the weaving
preparation sector, the company produces tying
machines and also a fully-automatic drawing-in
machine.
With the aid of a fast and universal Knot Mas-
ter tying machine, model AS/3 ultra-fine yarns
can be tyed together efficiently. With its standard
units for short knot-ends and for thread breakage
control the machine also fulfils all requirements
where other applications are concerned. The mod-
el XS/3 quattro, perfect for fashion weavers, uses
the advanced computer control KC/3 that not only
facilitates easy operation but reduces the risk of
errors.
The Warp Master from the company offers
more comfort during fully-automatic drawing-in.
The drawing-in machine, the Warp Master, features
a new computer with a larger touch screen for sim-
p l e r and faster operation. It also has a remote
support system. Tele maintenance can
thus be carried out via the modem, for
c u s - tomer service in real time.
Further, the diverse Groz-
Beckert heald frame assort-
ment has been enhanced by
the ALtop heald frame with a
140 mm aluminium profile. Its
sturdy, high-performance cor-
ner connection using steel sup-
ports requires no plastic compo-
nents and thus reduces wear.
The patented technology of
the ALtop 140 is also offered
with a newly-designed intermediate
strut. This is clamped from steel to steel and no long-
er to the aluminium profile. The result is far longer
service life for the heald frame.
