ZSK Stickmaschinen will be present at Texprocess & Techtextil 2015!

This year, ZSK Stickmaschinen, the German market leader for industrial embroidery machines, again will be present at the Texprocess in Frankfurt am Main, the leading international trade fair for processing textile and flexible materials. ZSK (hall 6.0, booth B19.) and their German representative Heinz Walz GmbH will present ZSK embroidery machines and accessories. Amongst other they will show the new SPRINT 6 with different applications and some multi-head tubular arm embroidery machines from the series JAFA.

Furthermore ZSK will present their innovative Technical Embroidery Systems at the Techtextil exhibition ground (hall 3 / booth J39).

This years Techtextil provides a small insight into ZSK’s quality and potential. ZSK will show the Technical Embroidery System JCW 0100-500, a laying machine for fibers and wires. This machine offers amongst others an active wire and fiber supply system, a pneumatic clamping and stretching system, an automatic pull through system and it masters the automatic change of different medias. Many more options like a wire hit detection system or an automatic bobbin changer are available for ZSK’s technical embroidery systems with up to 11 heads.

In a second presentation the ZSK exhibition team will demonstrate on ZSK's smallest embroidery machine, a SPRINT, how the laying of luminous sequins and to connect them with conducting wires can be processed.

The Technical Embroidery Systems of ZSK Stickmaschinen GmbH enables with the use of new and innovative techniques the laying and fixing of different media on textile and/or flexible carrier material.

The laying of wire is an essential part in the production of many products from all spheres of life today. Laying wire with ZSK‘s Technical Embroidery Systems is cost efficient, more reliable and environmentally friendly.

One of todays most innovative fields of activity is the embrodering of antennas (RFID) and sensors on textiles. Without any damage of the textiles characteristic signals like fill level, movement or temperature can be measured and relayed.

Laying wire with ZSK‘s Technical Embroidery Systems can be found at many other fields of application.

Exemplary products amongst others are heated working- or outdoor clothing, luminous textiles to improve security or comfort, heated steering wheels, heated car seats, embroidered circuits, to integrate electrical functions into clothing or infrared heating Systems.

Field of application - laying fibers

A radically new technology to built up reinforcement fabrics is the free orientation, placing and fixing of reinforcement materials through an embroidery machine. It can be used in applications where the production of components or textile structures requires the stitching of variable-geometry ply stacks, where fabrics need to be reinforced locally, or where fabrics must be assembled.

Pic: The JCW 0100-500 places fibers according to the distribution of forces within a structural component. It combines fibers and wires in composites. The machine offers an embroidery filed width of 450 mm and an embroidery field depth of 600 mm up to endless.

Various materials like carbon-, glass- and aramid fibres, wires etc. can be processed. Single layed rovings are fixed to the base material by stitching.

During the process, the base material is moved by the pantograph, enabling to lay rovings in any direction and quantity.

TFP - Tailored Fiber Placement

Another major advantage of this new process is to be able to lay the rovings according to the distribution of forces within a structural component.
