Technical textiles on the rise

Aerospace, defense, mobility, energy, and industrial sectors increasingly rely on technical textile that offer exceptional performance at minimal weight, impact resistance, and structural integrity — properties only possible through complex multilayer and 3D weaving technologies. Stäubli weaving systems play a central role in this evolution, powering the production of advanced fabrics ranging from lightweight reinforcements and OPW airbags to filtration media, medical textiles, and specialized industrial materials. By combining cutting edge mechanical engineering, intelligent electronic control, and long term customer support, Stäubli ensures stable, precise, and high quality weaving across all technical applications.

A complete ecosystem for technical fabrics weaving

Stäubli’s TF weaving systems deliver great capability for multilayer, 3D, and high performance structures. The TF20 offers high speed and an optional double rapier for lightweight composite reinforcements, while the TF30 ensures gentle yarn handling and precise control of demanding fibers. Together, the TF systems provide future ready solutions for weaving complex composite and multilayer architectures. The electronic Jacquard machine UNIVAL 100 enables unmatched patterning freedom for 3D forms, carbon, glass, and hybrid fibers. The LX 2494 Jacquard machine delivers high load capacity and robust performance for large formats and dense technical fabrics requiring absolute reliability. Stäubli’s heavy dobbies ensure stable motion and high driving force, supporting tight constructions and thick technical fabrics without compromising speed or quality. MAGMA handles the wide variety of yarns used in technical textiles, including polypropylene tapes and other sensitive structures. Its consistent knot quality and robust design reduce downtime and help mills maintain productivity during frequent warp changes.

With this complete portfolio, Stäubli reaffirms its commitment to supporting advanced weaving processes and enabling manufacturers to create the next generation of technical fabrics. These key technologies will be highlighted at Techtextil 2026, on the Swiss Pavilion – Booth B01.6 in Hall 12.0.
