Textile

Overview
Textile machines including sewing, winding or knitting machines are complex electro-mechanical equipment in which a large number of movements – including moving shafts, traverse drums, thread retaining and cutting, 3-axis thrusting, moving arms and tables – are performed at the same time and with great accuracy.

Building blocks in a textile machine

A textile machine consists of three main building blocks: power management, main control unit and motion control. There are also a variety of motion control sub-systems which are used according to the various types of motor including 3-phase BLDC and stepper motors as well as the performance required by the specific task to be accomplished, while more simple operations like cutting are performed by solenoids.

Our products and solutions

We have a broad portfolio of power MOSFETs, intelligent power modules (IPM), gate drivers and monolithic motor drivers as well as high-performance STM32 microcontrollers to enable highly efficient motor control designs, a large selection of AC-DC and DC-DC power management and supply solutions as well as a range of motion, proximity and ranging sensors and connectivity solutions to help design high-performance textile equipment.
