Stäubli to Showcase Advanced Weaving Technologies at ITMA ASIA 2026
Company to Present Jacquard, Weaving Preparation and Technical Textile Solutions for Asian Manufacturers
Stäubli will showcase its weaving technologies and automation solutions at ITMA ASIA 2026, Booth D05 in Hall 3, highlighting applications across denim production, filament fabrics, premium Jacquard weaving and 3D technical textiles. The company’s portfolio covers weaving preparation, shedding systems, Jacquard technology and industrial technical weaving, with a focus on production efficiency, fabric quality and operational reliability.
The company said its solutions are designed to help weaving mills across China and Asia improve productivity, reduce downtime and maintain consistent quality in high-volume production environments.
Weaving Preparation Systems
Stäubli will present two systems designed to support weaving preparation and warp changes.
- SAFIR PRO S37: An automatic drawing-in system designed for filament yarns and demanding weaving applications. Its yarn-handling and automation capabilities support preparation efficiency and consistency.
- MAGMA: An automatic warp-tying machine for coarse and technical yarns. It offers single- and double-knot capabilities, along with optoelectronic double-end detection, for warp changes across different applications.
Jacquard Technology for Diverse Fabrics
Stäubli’s Jacquard portfolio covers configurations ranging from 80 to 25,600 hooks, supporting a variety of woven fabric applications through precision control and flexible patterning.
The SX PRO with harness will be displayed as a solution for applications including terry, apparel, upholstery, tapestry, silk fabrics and technical textiles.
The company will also present the N4L PRO, which enables brand names to be woven into fabric selvedges, adding a branding feature to premium fabrics.
Shedding Systems for Industrial Weaving
Stäubli will demonstrate shedding technologies designed for high-speed industrial weaving, including applications using air-jet, rapier and water-jet looms.
The systems on display will include:
- S1628 cam motion: Designed for air-jet and rapier weaving applications, with speeds of up to 1,200 rpm, depending on loom parameters and application.
- S3018 rotary dobby: Available in configurations for rapier and air-jet weaving machines, with speeds of up to 650 rpm, and for water-jet weaving machines, with speeds of up to 740 rpm.
- S3060 rotary dobby: Designed for air-jet weaving applications, with speeds of up to 800 rpm.
These systems are intended to support stable shedding performance, fabric quality and reliable operation during extended production runs.
JIEDE Textile Uses 430 Stäubli Rotary Dobbies
Stäubli highlighted its work with JIEDE Textile, a large-scale denim producer based in Guangdong Province, China. The company integrates spinning, dyeing, weaving and finishing and has an annual denim fabric production capacity of 100 million metres, supplying customers worldwide.
JIEDE Textile currently operates 430 Stäubli S3060 rotary dobbies. According to Stäubli, the equipment has helped the manufacturer improve production efficiency and stability, reduce downtime and fabric defects, and improve batch-to-batch consistency.
Ms. WANG Lihua, General Manager at JIEDE Textile, said:
“For us, Stäubli is more than an equipment supplier. It is a key technology partner. From solution design to ongoing service, they support us throughout the entire lifecycle.”
Technical Weaving for Advanced Applications
Demand from the aerospace, automotive, energy and industrial sectors is creating opportunities for advanced weaving technologies and high-performance composite materials.
Stäubli said it has more than a decade of experience in industrial 3D weaving. Building on this experience, the company has developed its TF platform as a modular and configurable weaving system that can be adapted to changing products, materials and applications.
At ITMA ASIA 2026, visitors will be able to view samples of technical fabrics produced on Stäubli TF machines, demonstrating applications for advanced woven structures.
Supporting the Asian Textile Industry
Stäubli’s exhibition will cover technologies ranging from weaving preparation and conventional fabric production to Jacquard weaving and technical textiles. The company also highlighted its local presence, technical expertise and service support throughout the equipment lifecycle as part of its approach to working with textile manufacturers across China and Asia.
