IQ-SPS GmbH, located in Wettringen, Germany, was founded in 2010. Today, with a staff of 18 employees, two production facilities and a modern CNC-machining center the services all around projectile weaving machines do not only include the extension and reinforcement of weaving machines but also a wide variety of upgrades and services such as trainings, consultings and a fast and reliable spare parts service – worldwide.
Many weavers wish to produce special or extra wide fabrics. But the acquisition of a new, expensive special weaving machine might not be necessary. The specialists at IQ-SPS GmbH upgrade available machines according to customer specifications. So, an upgraded used machine is in no way an ‘old’ machine. It is rather a machine that has been made state-of-the-art with the use of proven technology at affordable costs.
Extra wide weaving machines allow nominal weaving widths from 430cm up to 1200cm and are constructed according to the current CE – machine building regulations. Reinforced machines are available for widths from 190cm up to 700cm and process up to 20.000N warp tension p/m of fabric. The combination with upper warp beam systems by IQ-SPS or an upgrade from single-colour machines to two or four colours is possible.
Further upgrades include
- Safety light barriers complying with current CE – regulations
- Frequency converters
- Control cabinets and coverings
- Reinforced deflecting levers
- Several upgrades for Leno weaving (PosiLeno from Groz Beckert)
- Electronic let off devices
- Warp tension gauges
The most frequent field of application for IQ-SPS’ upgraded machines is technical fabrics, such as geotextiles, carpet backing primary and secondary, safety textiles and reinforcing textiles for the construction industry, coating carriers, tarpaulins, fabrics for advertising and many more.
The company is always open to new ideas and likes to make use of its expertise to help customers with the implementation.
IQ-SPS GmbH will show its products – including the new selvedge winder SPS Bull 1000 – at the ITMA 2019 (Hall 4 Booth B216).
