The DORNIER weaving machine system family with international reputation

The textile industry calls for weaving machines that meet a multitude of demands: more flexible and gentler material use, extreme pattern variety, absolute functional reliability. Fault-free fabrics, lowest possible waiting times and high productivity complement these demands.

The unique DORNIER system family comprising rapier and air-jet weaving machines resulted from this catalog of market demands. This is why both types are based on the same robust machine frame as modular construction design. Electronics, operation and maintenance are the same and the machines are standardized, efficient and cost-efficient despite different insertion systems. Simple accessory exchange and extensive use of identical spare parts reduce warehouse stocks and save money. New applications are designed usable for both systems from the very beginning.
The filling insertion system with positive central thread transfer on DORNIER rapier weaving machines supports smooth processing of almost all types of yarn.
