ALPHA 580 UNIVERSAL – State-of-the-art technology for creativity and energy savings

The latest model in the series was presented at ITMA 2023 in Milan. The ALPHA 580 UNIVERSAL boasts great versatility in design options including cut pile and flat weave, pattern on the ground, weft patterning as well as reverse, sisal, and high pile. Carpet manufacturers and their staff enjoy not only the compactness of this weaving system but also its easy and highly reliable operation. The Jacquard machine handles the pile weaving.

NOEMI ensures high-speed data transmission and signal-transmission stability. Up to 25,600 hooks can be operated without reducing the weaving speed. That’s just one of the many technical highlights, one which also provides energy savings. In the area of basic weaves the weaving system offers a new compact electronic rotary dobby. The functional principle of this shed forming solution is the renowned Stäubli rotary principle.
