Willy Grob’s latest systems for weaving machines & fabrics

Willy Grob Ltd. develops and manufacturers cloth take-up systems for all types of weaving machines and fabrics. The company is active throughout the world as advisor and supplier to both weaving mills and weaving machine manufacturers.

As an ITMA highlight Willy Grob is going to show the newest batching unit type SUPERIOR ‘Touch’ which is a further successful development of the newly-introduced Willy Grob product family SUPERIOR. ‘Touch’ is equipped with up-to-date developments. Besides latest drive technology, functions such as Speed Limiter SLBU and Intelligent Drive System IDSBU come up in a new graphic-driven color touch screen, which replaces the former panel with knobs and switches.

The new touch screen system allows the choice of different languages. All functions are conveniently described in the customer’s preferred language. New features such as enhanced IDSBU individual allowing now the indiviual setting for the cloth tension during weaving machine stop or the newly developped ‘Direct Speed Control’ System DSCBU which makes it possible to automatically synchronize the speed of the batching unit with that of the weaving machine.

Furthermore, the new touch-screen solution prodives the spare-part catalogue on display permitting a quick search of the required parts. It is at any time electronically available at the right place.

As an option, a meter counter can be installed showing on the display of the touch screen the actual length of the rolled-up fabric.

With this concept, Willy Grob sets new benchmarks in terms of technology, equipment and customer benefit.
