ISTANBUL — June 17, 2024 — We are pleased to present this new edition of ITM Flash which has been created especially for our valued customers and visitors to ITM 2024 in Istanbul. The short articles show how Stäubli’s product portfolio could benefit you as a textile manufacturer.
Stäubli relies on its 130 years of experience in designing and manufacturing shedding equipment to continuously develop new comprehensive solutions in order to provide the best choice for every application.
Longevity or precision? Both! — Cam motions and dobbies from Stäubli
Robustness, high performance, speed, quality, compet- itiveness, flexibility – these are all part of Stäubli’s DNA. By continuously strengthening our product range and process range, we continuously strive to achieve a single goal: as a partner, we meet the needs of our customers.
Facing the demand for various types of shuttleless weaving machines and different types of fabrics in the Chinese market, Stäubli will bring a variety of new shed- ding equipment at this exhibition to fully meet the needs of water-jet, air-jet and rapier looms in stringent require- ments of high-speed, heavy-load and precision.
S1792 / S3220 / S3260
High-speed air-jet applications
The first-class engineering and high-quality construc- tion of our cam motions and rotary dobbies offer air-jet weavers outstanding speed, optimal energy efficiency, long service life, and lower maintenance costs.
S3020 / S3060 / S3224
High-performance rapier applications
Stäubli rotary dobbies set the standard worldwide, deli- vering extreme reliability, efficiency, and long service life. They are suitable for all fabrics and patterns and they offer considerably increased load capacity and resili- ence.
High-speed S3280 rotary dobby – concept for air-jet applications
Stäubli has been designing revolutionary shed motion systems since 1892. Since those early years as a mere workshop, the company has become a global bench- mark setter for mechanical shed motion systems for frame weaving.
A recent development is our S3280 rotary dobby, designed for ultra-high-speed operation with a minimum of vibration and ensuring reliable performance. This dobby, coupled with our new e32/33 G transmission, is a must-have solution for frame-weaving mills that demand the utmost in productivity.
This newly developed machinery is a result of our commitment to sustainability. We aim to provide our customers with eco-friendlier solutions that make optimum use of natural resources.

Speed and quality: SAFIR PRO S67 the new drawing-in machine
High speed drawing-in of cotton warps
With up to 200 yarns drawn-in per minute, the SAFIR PRO S67 supports utmost productivity in the drawing-in department of weaving mills producing shirting, men’s suits, or home textiles.
Fully automatic Layer- & Offset-Management
Stäubli offers the new Layer- & Offset-Management option for double warp beam applications for staple fibre, and especially fancy denim applications on the stationary drawing in machine SAFIR PRO S67.
Stäubli doubled the number of clamping rails in the yarn frame in order to handle each yarn sheet with two clamping rails. The yarn sheets are now clamped independently by a double clamping system made of 4 clamping rails. The offset is corrected fully automatically.
The machine brings the two yarn sheets into perfect alignment with zero offset. This allows the yarn sepa- ration unit (suction nozzle) to process the yarn layer without time loss.
The machine operates efficiently with no need to move to an offset yarn. The horizontal offset movement is obsolete. In this way, the new option permits the highest performance.
Faster than the human eye: AWC 2.0 colour nuance detection
The essential function of our state-of-the-art AWC 2.0 technology is interpreting the measured data through image processing & data analytics, using advanced algorithms & software and high-performance proces- sors.
This allows the determination of titre, colour, twist direction, and, within certain limits, even hairiness, transparency, and monofilament or multifilament char- acteristics. For multi-coloured warps, AWC 2.0 can detect a great number of colour nuances per warp. This gives mills expanded capabilities to produce innovative, outstanding, and unique designs.
A quality weaving process
With SAFIR and Active Drawing-In Control 2.0, your processes are optimized and your completely drawn-in weaving harnesses will be available on time, in the desired quality, and ready for quick startup of the down- stream weaving process.
Smooth warp changes in the weaving mill with TIEPRO – the operator friendly warp tying machine
Stäubli is showing its TIEPRO warp-tying machine, featuring extremely fine mechanical precision supported by high-performance digital technology. Over seventy years of Stäubli experience in the production of tying machines and tying frames have gone into the completely new design of TIEPRO.
Since its introduction on the market, TIEPRO is already in successful operation in weaving mills around the world. Offering utmost ease in use and a unique auto-re- verse function enabling the automatic repeat of the yarn separation process in case of double-end detection, this tying machine has become the first choice of operators.
Here are some reasons why weaving mills should invest in the completely new TIEPRO, the world’s most advanced warp-tying machine:
- Unique yarn separation process with spindle cone (no spare needles required)
- New electronic double-end detection before cutting the yarn; auto-reverse function
- Short not ends with adjustable length
- High availability and good environmental performance (no oil bath needed)
- Guides the operator through the tying process
Stäubli warp tying machines cover a full range of applications
Stäubli TOPMATIC, MAGMA, and TIEPRO warp tying machines stand for perfect knot quality, flexibility in use, and high efficiency. Perfectly tied together warp sheets are essential in achieving quick warp changes and short idle time of the weaving machine. Stäubli’s proven product range includes the ideal warp tying machine for any type of yarn.
