Stäubli
demonstrates a range
of new products, technologies
ITMA Asia + CITME 2012
Under its motto “Progress
through tradition and
innovation,” Stäubli continues
to develop new products and
technologies that offer the
textile industry more and
greater benefits.
Since its introduction two
years ago, the SX Jacquard
machine has gained wide and
enthusiastic approval by cus-
tomers. This extremely versa-
tile machine for broad use in
modern Jacquard weaving mills
meets the highest demands.
Productivity of the SX surpasses
that of other models. The machine
is more compact and offers higher
performance, meaning high loads
and high speed. Its nearly vibration-
free drive mechanism is extremely
reliable.
The machine requires a minimum
of maintenance and is available
in two sizes, with 1,408 or 2,688
hooks. It is adaptable to rapier,
airjet and projectile weft-insertion
systems. Hundreds of SX machines
are in daily use in weaving mills
around the world, handling a vari-
ety of textile applications.
New type SX V Jacquard
machine
Meanwhile, the SX has been fur-
ther developed and modified for the
production of velvet fabrics. In this
model the machine is called SX V,
and is equipped with 2,688 hooks
driven by the M6.2 three-position
module. The SX V can be adapted
to any type of new or existing vel-
vet weaving machine.
At ITMA Asia the SX, including
Stäubli harness, was demonstrated
at the Stäubli booth with 2,688
hooks weaving terry towel fabric
on a 260 cm wide rapier weaving
machine.
The principle of running a Jac-
quard machine with no mechanical
link to the weaving machine was
introduced by Stäubli more than 10
years ago, with the UNIVAL 100.
