The new Tsudakoma: Weaving 100 Years of Tradition and Cutting-edge Technology

Bridge to the next generation: ZAX9100 series

Tsudakoma’s 100th anniversary is just around the corner. Tsudakoma continually evolves for the next generation. The ZAX9100 developed as the integration of the knowledge of Tsudakoma’s first 100 years. It is stronger and more flexible while acquiring many new characteristics. Their first hundred years anticipates the next hundred years.

The “ZAX9100 series air-jet looms” are the bridge to the next generation. Including the ZAX9100HD, a package model for ultra-high speed, the ZAX9100 weaves weft yarns with various kinds and various thicknesses under complete control. The ZAX9100-Terry weaves a wide array of fancy terry cloth under high speed.

Exhibits at ITMA ASIA + CITME

ZAX9100 HD Air Jet Loom

The ZAX9100 is well-established for its ultra-high speed ability. The “ZAX9100HD” is a package model that can weave heavy fabrics at high speed while keeping quality high with enhanced basic abilities and new technology. Tsudakoma’s unique heavy-duty structure responds to user’s strict quality demands. The exhibit will demonstrate weaving quality yarn-dyed shirting at high speed.

ZAX9100 Air Jet Loom

The ZAX9100 is ranked as a premium air jet loom provided with the “Weave Navigation System.” It handles diverse responsibilities, such as being cost-competitive, quick style change, value-added fabrics, and developing new fabrics that will be required more than ever.

The ESS Electronic Shedding System, 6-color weft selection, and the PSC support weaving value-added fabrics of various kinds and thickness wefts.

The PSC Programmable Speed Control controls the rpm per one pick according to weft kinds and fabric weaves in order to attain stable weaving, thus the operation efficiency is considerably increased. Fabrics formerly limited to rapier looms are woven easily while keeping the same fabric quality.

ZAX9100-Terry Air Jet Loom

Tsudakoma claims to have the largest air jet terry weaving experience in the world, and according to Tsudakoma, many terry weavers consider Tsudakoma’s air jet looms the standard.

While fusing the ultra-high speed-ability of the ZAX9100 with its abundant terry weaving know-how, various elaborately designed towels such as pile height changes and pile-cycle switching between 3 to 7-picks can be woven with a pleasant texture. In combination with the electronic Jacquard motion higher value-added terry cloth can be woven.

The “Versa-Terry System” is the integration of Tsudakoma’s terry weaving technology. Various systems that Tsudakoma developed especially for terry are enhanced and new technology for weaving diversified terry cloth designs is employed.

The “Versa-Terry System” inherits and advances the thorough experience of the world’s largest record of air-jet terry weaving machines. Improving all of its basic abilities: speed, versatility, quality, energy saving, operability, the ZAX9100-Terry realizes true user-friendliness.

The ZAX9100-Terry seriously considers energy conservation. Weft insertion with low air-pressure is attained. Employing the twin-nozzle valve and the optimum air-route reduces air consumption by 10%.

New “ZW8100 Water Jet Loom” for the next generation

The water jet loom demonstrated at ITMA ASIA 2005 as a concept model now debuts as the “ZW8100.” The new model “ZW8100” inherited the basic abilities of the “ZW series” that has enjoyed an excellent reputation as the global standard water jet loom and has enhanced stability at high speed.

The ZW8100 intends to succeed and advance the long-cultivated basic abilities of water jet looms - weaving technology, high-speed ability, quality, and energy-saving – for the next hundred years. Tsudakoma consistently emphasizes the basic abilities: high speed, quality, versatility, eco-friendliness.

Tsudakoma particularly focuses on ultra high speed ability - the mission of all jet looms. Because it considers ultra high speed as the base, Tsudakoma has optimized the frame structure, the beating system and the shedding system, and employs a newly-developed nozzle. A navigation system that enjoys a good reputation for air jet looms is also employed while taking careful note on higher versatility and better operability. To give the best answer to reply to market demands, fulfilling basic abilities is indispensable. Flexibility to woven material is also increased. True user-friendliness is also attained.

Preparatory machines from the New T-Tech Japan give consistent support to weaving
