is ideally suited for production on
the SHIVA DR II PLUS machine. when equipped

Suiting is a general
term for fabrics used for coats and suits
for both men and women. Man-made fibre suiting
fabrics can either be woven with airjet or
rapier weaving technology.
SHIVA
DR I & SHIVA DR II PLUS rapier weaving
machine
Weaving synthetic suiting materials is fairly
straightforward and poses no problem with
the SHIVA DR I weaving machine. To add value
to such fabrics, dobby and the name selvedge
is often used. This makes the fabric look
as if it were produced with all the attention
normally devoted to worsteds.
An enhancement is possible by creating a name
selvedge. This can be done in a limited way
using extra harnesses from the dobby.
The Elecronic Piezo Sensor (weft braking sensor),
with which the SHIVA DR I is equipped to weave
such fabrics, also helps to give the fabric
that essential touch by making it possible
to modify the weft tension during insertion
and thereby the hand of the fabric. |
