Built on the proven technology of the DORNIER system family, the A1 convinces with a completely new electronic control system and an application-oriented main drive concept based on three different systems. Exceptionally wide range of application Whether operating with a simple cam motion, in combination with a Jacquard head of 12,000 hooks, a dobby with up to 16 heald frames or with the DORNIER...

FILLING INSERTION DORNIER filling insertion: Unique in performance and safety Thanks to the reliability of its unique filling insertion controlled through the patented DORNIER PIC® system with DORNIER ServoControl®-2 in combination with the proven shed geometry of the DORNIER rapier weaving machine and a long insertion window, the DORNIER A1 air-jet opens up new dimensions for air-jet weaving m achines as relates to flexibility, efficiency and fabric quality. Version with 2 nozzles per valve Stretch and monitor weft Transport weft The compact throttle block with DORNIER ServoControl®-2 The...

FILLING INSERTION Efficient nozzle and valve technology With the technology of the A1 air-jet weaving machine, DORNIER sets new standards: The mobile tandem nozzle attached to the reed bar allows extra prolonged insertion times – an undisputable requirement for maximum m achine speeds and multiple width weaving. In combination with the optional TandemPlus nozzle and the PWCclamp, the range of insertable filling yarn types is substantially increased. Reliable control of perfect completion of thread insertion is guaranteed by DORNIER’s unique sensor systems, Triple Weft Sensor and STS,...

FILLING INSERTION Stability and precision for high filling insertion rates The whole counts more than the total of all its parts. The finely concerted function of all elements including the solid mechanical components and main assembly groups of the A1 as well as the new electronic control system creates an individually configurable mine. It operates safely, efficiently and with reproducible data like never seen before. Unique: The application range of the DORNIER A1 The extremely wide insertion range of the A1 covers spun and filament yarns made of natural and man-made fibers as well as...

CONTROL SYSTEM FT control system and DORNIER ErgoWeave®: Complex technology provides easy handling Born out of practice, the new DORNIER ErgoWeave® operating concept enables for intuitive machine handling for the first time. The innovative FT control system newly developed for it forms the foundation stone for significant further improvements in the most diverse variety of sub-assemblies. It guarantees high reliability and efficiency in woven fabric production – with a technology which is open to future developments. Data transfer is effected in real time Short response times guarantee...

COMPONENTS WITH CONCEPT The A1 at a glance: Sturdy technology with intelligent controls The A1 stands for reliance in all respects. Thanks to the connection of the machine side frames with a robust profile traverse, its sturdy basic framework guarantees low vibration operation – even at high speeds and in d oublewidth version. Therefore it is unnecessary to bolt or cement the machine to the floor. All systems necessary for filling insertion are bilaterally displaceable, making time-saving as well as symmetrical and asymmetrical width adjustment possible. For Jacquard weaving or when using a...

DORNIER PLUS A quality seal: The DORNIER selvedges formation devices The selvedge sells the fabric. The patented selvedge formation devices are one of DORNIER’s strengths. They offer decisive advantages, also as regards further fabric processing: The freely programmable 2-end DORNIER MotoLeno® full-turn leno and the pneumatically operated DORNIER PneumaTucker® produce unique neat and narrow selvedges. The uniform mounting of the two units makes it possible to change from tuck-in to leno s elvedge in the shortest possible time. Perfect selvedges, thanks to intensive binding: DORNIER...

DORNIER PLUS The right drive for you The A1 disposes of a completely new concept of main drives based on three pillars. In combination with the FT control each provides the ideal solution for its corresponding applications. With the three drive variants every customer’s requirement can be optimally matched. Function and handling are substantially simplified, the number of components reduced to the essentials through elimination of belt drive and inching motion. With this and the integrated speed control maintenance cost and set-up times are decisively minimized. The DirectDrive represents a...
