Groz-Beckert Opens its First-Ever Weaving Showroom in India

By Apparel Resources

Groz-Beckert has increased its footprints in India by opening its first-ever Indian showroom in the emerging weaving market in Ichalkaranji (Maharashtra).

The new weaving showroom is mainly equipped with a new fully automatic WarpMasterPlus drawing-in machine.

The company further reports that KnotMaster series knotting machines and accessories from the weaving preparation portfolio are also available for training, testing and demonstrations.

According to a press release sent by Groz-Beckert to Apparel Resources, the WarpMasterPlus is the latest generation of fully automatic drawing-in machines and its system has been completely redeveloped from the ground up.

The latest technologies were consistently used to bring a machine to the market that is already equipped today for future requirements with regard to increased automation in view of Industry 4.0. With this machine generation, Groz-Beckert continues to rely on the globally proven drawing-in concept, where drawing-in takes place via a single bobbin.

Further advantages of the WarpMasterPlus include optimal flexibility combined with maximum performance and minimal setup requirements, as well as problem-free drawing-in of critical warp yarns.

In addition, the number of cycles has been increased and sophisticated functions such as pre-setting drop-wire magazines and CNC axes for adjusting the heald length have been added.

“The WarpMasterPlus combines all properties offered by the established WarpMaster concept to date that includes the minimal training requirements for operating and maintenance personnel and the extremely easy operation thanks to sensors and video support. Video support in particular is a feature that has been appreciated by customers for years. It enables people without prior knowledge of drawing-in to operate the machine quickly and reliably.

Groz-Beckert is thus countering the increasing shortage of skilled workers in the industry,” reads Groz-Beckert’s press note.

It’s worth noting here that the company presented the WarpMasterPlus for the first time at ITMA 2019 in Barcelona, Spain.
