The Open Reed Weave (ORW) technology developed by DORNIER considerably extends pattern
versatility for light, classic fabrics and eliminates downstream processing.

ORW technology
The production of figures highlighted in color in fabrics for
clothing and furnishing fabrics requires a certain technical
effort such as increasing the number of shafts or using
Jacquard equipment for weaving Scherli effects or subsequent
further processing through embroidery. Using DORNIERs
ORW technology, it became possible to successfully integrate
embroidery in the weaving process so that weaving and
embroidery can run at the same time on DORNIER weaving
machines.
The system is based on the DORNIER weaving machines and
is modular which means the weaving machine retains its full
performance capability and complete application spectrum
during normal weaving operation without stitching.

Technology
Opening the reed upwards allows inserting additional pattern
threads between the reed and weaving shafts using special
thread guides.
These additional pattern threads are passed to the weaving
process using a bypass, comprising an additional warp stop
motion and a deflection system above the weaving shafts,
using the movable thread guides.
After the additional pattern threads have dipped into the lower
shed, the filling is inserted which binds the additional pattern
threads. This creates a filling effect on the fabric surface that
can be controlled freely within certain limits using a lifting
plan and is comparable to embroidery and Scherli-patterns.

Basic principle of stitch weaving

This technology can be applied to the DORNIER system family

consisting of rapier and air-jet weaving machines.

The DORNIER weaving machines with embroidery

unit are based on:
High functional reliability
Dependable machine construction and process
engineering
Flexibility
Ergonomics
Simple handling

Fields of application
The DORNIER ORW technology allows wide diversity in
patterns for clothing and decorative fabrics or specifically
applied reinforcements in technical textiles. The fabric is
already manufactured in refined form on the weaving machine
which increases value creation.
