- Abstract
At ITMA 2011, an exhibition in the field of weaving (weaving preparation, weaving and computer aided sampling), relatively few innovations in improving the technology and increasing production speed were presented. The presented innovations were related to energy savings, improving the quality of products as well as to the increased concern about ecology. In almost all fields of weaving, corporate mergers took place, consequently leading to reduced competition in the area. In many production stages of woven fabrics, a reduction of a number of exhibitors or equipment suppliers was observed. Moreover, high exhibiting costs without good prospects for sale, and closing and reducing textile plants also contributed to fewer exhibitors. Significant innovations in the field of weaving were presented by the Dornier weaving company, i.e. firstly, weaving with open reed, suitable for manufacturing textile for interior (curtains with added threads in the form of embroidery) and for technical purposes (multiaxial fabrics), and secondly, electronic connection during the weaving machine and jacquard mechanism, called »weave by wire«. They both work synchronously without any mechanical connection and common drive.
