On another set-up with air-jet weft insertion the production of OPW airbags will be demonstrated by the Jacquard machine LXL for heavy payload with a weaving width of 280 cm. While the set up at the booth is equipped with a Stäubli harness with 12288 cords, this machine offers the possibility to achieve formats up to 36864 by combining two machines in a tandem set-up.
