Trådlinjesystem

Trådlinjesystem is a term used in textile technology and related industries to describe a configuration of guides, supports and drives that route and control multiple threads or lines along a machine. The system is designed to ensure accurate positioning, consistent tension and reliable delivery of threads from their sources to the processing station, whether that is a loom, embroidery head or finishing unit.

A typical trådlinjesystem comprises thread spools or supply drums, guides or eyelets, tension devices, carriers or carriages, and connecting lines to motors or actuators. The paths can be arranged vertically, horizontally or in complex labyrinths to accommodate many threads simultaneously. Modern implementations often integrate sensors, servo controls and computer logic to monitor tension, length and breakage in real time.

The primary function of a trådlinjesystem is to minimize tangling, knotting and breakage while maximizing throughput and pattern versatility. By maintaining uniform tension and precise thread positioning, the system supports high-speed weaving, multi-color embroidery and other automated textile processes. It can also facilitate rapid thread changes and selective threading for different product designs.

Applications range from traditional weaving looms and Jacquard machines to contemporary embroidery equipment and industrial textile printers. In larger operations, trådlinjesystem may be part of an integrated machine control system that coordinates thread handling with weft insertion, dyeing, or finishing steps. Design considerations include friction, wear resistance of guides, ease of threading and maintenance, and compatibility with the machine’s control architecture.
