Markets are now more dynamic than ever, with the rate of new products and variations accelerating. At the same time, customers have increasingly strict demands on fabric quality. In the 20 years since its start-up, the supplier of accessories for weaving machines Crealet AG, Wald/Switzerland, has built a reputation in electronic warp feeding systems for both wide and narrow fabric weaving. The background to the company’s innovations is a focus on optimizing customers’ end-products and transforming the feeding processes. Modern solutions must fit with IOT and Industry 4.0, so Crealet is dedicated to making the warp thread feed reproducible, traceable and reliable.
The newest development is a warp yarn feeding solution for ribbon weaving machines. The system features the Kast ERC (Electronic Rope Control) system for electronic control of rope braking on warp beams in ribbon weaving. Upgrading rope brakes with the Kast ERC control keeps warp tension constant from full to empty beam. This improves the fabric quality and reduces labor requirements. Technical benefits are the easy adjustment of warp tension and the monitoring and visualization of warp tension.
Customized warp let-off applications are now a Crealet core business. For high-tech fabrics, customers need warp let-off devices to perform standardized processes at consistently high-quality levels. Constant tension throughout the warp is essential for quality end-products, and accurate feeding of warp threads from beams is possible only with impeccable warp beam preparation. That’s where the partnership with Comsat brings value to Crealet’s customers, with sectional and direct warping machines and creels, as well as inspection machines, batching motions and selvedge thread warpers.
