Textile Machinery

Precise and durable drives for the processes of modern textile technology

Sensitive power for delicate processes

Textile machines place very specific demands on drive technology. Motion sequences must be extremely precise – at high speed and during continuous operation. From bobbin feed to fabric handling, constant repeat accuracy, dynamic response, and compact design are essential. The drives must not only deliver performance but also operate with minimal vibration, low noise, and long-term reliability.

Dynamic, space-saving, and precisely controllable

SPAT® offers compact DC and BLDC drives specifically designed for the requirements of the textile machinery industry. With integrated electronics, finely tuned control characteristics, and a low-maintenance design, they are ideal for complex motion sequences. The decentralized architecture saves control cabinet space and supports flexible machine concepts – such as in winding and weaving systems, folding or sewing units.

SPAT® drive technology – trusted by leading textile manufacturers

Our drives are used in applications such as fabric feeding, bobbin drives, cutting modules, and the precise positioning of fabric webs. Their smooth operation and high reliability ensure consistently excellent product quality and minimal downtime – even in multi-shift production. Thanks to a modular platform design, SPAT® drives can be customized and easily integrated into both new machines and existing systems.
