Healds

Functionally efficient healds may be small in size, but they are a decisively vital detail when it comes to the economy and productivity of a weaving machine.

Rapid warp preparation, a high weft insertion rate, minimal production disruptions and flawless fabric quality: With Groz-Beckert healds all these benefits come together for optimum results in day-to-day weaving operation.

A comprehensive range of healds with different materials and end-loop shapes is available for every application.

Drop wires

New weaving machines are equipped with electrical warp stop motions. They are complemented by matching open or closed drop wires.

Groz-Beckert offers a wide variety of drop wires with immediate availability.

The drop wires are distinguished by a center of gravity that lies below the warp end for optimized stability. The U-shaped thread eye of the drop wire provides a wide contact zone for the warp end for minimal resistance and deflection.

Combinations of different lengths and thicknesses provide for a huge selection of weights and drop wires. This makes it easy to adapt to different warp yarns, facilitating ever faster weaving machine operating speeds.

Heald frames

The many different types of Groz-Beckert heald frames stand for effective woven textile production on modern, high-performance weaving machines. High stability, low weight and ease of use are the defining features of the proven quality and reliability.

The Groz-Beckert heald frame range includes many innovative solutions, such as the intelligent damping system or high-performance carbon fibre profiles. Whether for healds with J- or C-shaped end loops, for rapier, air jet or projectile weaving machines: Groz-Beckert offers outstanding heald frames for the most diverse applications.

Leno systems

Groz-Beckert offers two heald-based systems for the manufacturing of leno fabrics - the conventional leno system and the PosiLeno® leno system. Both systems enable unlimited patterning possibilities.

The systems differ in the way the doup frame is driven. The innovative drive of the PosiLeno® leno system allows up to 100% higher performance compared to the conventional system.

Leno weaving is particularly applied where open effect fabrics are in demand which, however, must have a solid structure between warp and weft threads.

Warp stop motions

A reliable warp stop motion is the fundamental prerequisite for producing top-notch woven fabrics.

And Groz-Beckert supplies the perfect gauge parts. Durability, sturdiness and flexibility – those are the outstanding features of warp stop motions from Groz-Beckert.

From modern basic models, systems for weaving filament and silk warps or for terry products – therefore warp stop motions of Groz-Beckert are available with six, eight or two contact bars. Thanks to a modular system, the warp stop motions can also be adapted to individual customer requirements.

Reeds

The reed has a significant influence on the fabric quality and the efficiency of the weaving process. Groz-Beckert offers various reeds. The portfolio includes air-jet, flat and special reeds.

The reeds are specially manufactured to customer specifications. To ensure the required consistency of the reeds, only high-precision dent material is used combined with state-of-the-art reed binding technology.
