Carpet weaving system for floor coverings, carpets and rugs for vehicle and aircraft

Carpet manufacturers in the automotive and aerospace industries face various challenges, including regulations, passenger safety, and technical demands. These carpets, used in aircraft, trains, buses, and cars, must be durable, dirt-resistant, and incorporate flame retardants while providing passenger comfort and safety. Additionally, airplane carpets need to be lightweight for maximum fuel efficiency. Making lightweight carpets that meet all these challenges requires state-of-the-art technology. Stäubli offers the solution with the weaving system that ensures high operational reliability and productivity, processing polypropylene, polyamide, wool, and other yarns with productivity three times higher than on a wire loom.

Vehicle carpet production – Schönherr carpet weaving system for loop and flat carpeting

The ALPHA 580 SINGLELOOP weaving system is especially well suited for industrial production of loop and flat carpeting as area rugs or wall-to-wall carpeting for the transport sectors. The ALPHA 580 SINGLELOOP weaving system features reduced spacing between the double rapiers and a special draw-off unit, which removes the auxiliary weft required for loop formation during the weaving process. This allows the mill to produce fine loops and lightweight carpets across the entire weaving width without needing a cut down the middle. Additionally, the integrated lancet holder supports three different lancet types, each available in various heights, enhancing the system's flexibility.
