 Replace your knots by IRM/2-splices
Increase your efficiency in the production
and quality of your products …
Splices can easily be processed and are
practically invisible in the final product.

IRM/2-splicer
The IRM/2-splicer produces yarn joints with highest strength.
The IRM/2 is very reliable to splice smooth filament yarns as
well. IRM/2-splices, having minimum increase of yarn volume,
lead to uninterrupted production processes to result in
better looking final products.

Handy application
Fast and easy splicing thanks to the comfortable belt.
On rails or stands, hand- or footactivated IRM/2- splicers
will be your partner on various textile machinery.

M-WARP
Matthys delivers custom-made machinery for every requirement. The basic
version of the M-WARP sectional warper covers as many application areas
as possible. In addition, the equipment is capable of satisfying all specific
customer requirements with appropriate options.

The unique forward beaming operation eliminates any friction on the yarn
sheet. This results in an unsurpassed beam quality which is particularly
important when processing delicate yarns. Conventional beaming is also
available whenever existing beam handling logistics should be retained.

M-WARP with forward beaming

To provide the best possible quality, Matthys has given the matter due consideration.
The beamer of the M-WARP sectional warper can be positioned at the side of the creel.
This results in the most efficient beaming operation by eliminating deflection rolls and
without having to reverse the warping direction. This beaming operation is particularly
important when processing delicate yarns.

This forward beaming operation has a number of advantages:

Friction between the yarns and the deflecting rolls is avoided
Crossed yarns will open during beaming
The graphic touchscreen terminal can be easily reached by the
operator during warping and beaming

The beamer can also be positioned at the conventional side of

the warper. In this way, the existing logistics and beam handling
operations should not be changed in case a conventional sectional
warper has to be replaced.
Automatic yarn build-up
The yarn build-up is monitored from the start of the warping process. All the sections are
made in exactly the same way as for an absolutely uniform warp quality. After entering
the basic warp data in the operator terminal, the machine defines automatically the initial
reed headstock feed. This feed is controlled by the electronic system in the first section
and adapted to the yarn behavior for a perfect warp build-up. The feed pattern of the
first section is memorised and reproduced in all following sections. This technology is
unsurpassed as the feed sensors are contactless and do not require any measuring stop.
The reed headstock movement is driven by a high precision servo motor with traction on
a steel reinforced toothed belt, that is entirely maintenance-free.

Thus, an absolute cylindrical package is obtained when:

All the threads have exactly the same length
All the threads are wound under constant tension
The sections fit together with ultimate precision

Standard duo-motor beaming

To increase speed and beaming power, all M-WARP sectional warpers
have two beaming motors, one at each side of the warp beam.
This dual-drive technology has the additional advantage that torque in
the beam barrel is eliminated. This increases substantially the lifetime
of the used beams, especially when using large warping widths.

Options
Matthys provides many optional features on its warping machines for
enhanced added value and to increase their productivity. You can adjust
the performance of the M-WARP to the requirements of your facility.

They provide rapid acceleration and assure the desired flexibility regarding speed

Modular creel concept for long-life flexibility

The creels are designed and fabricated for compact packing and easy installation. Erection,
packing and transportation costs are reduced to a minimum. This will substantially decrease
the total investment cost.

To satisfy every quality and performance requirement, Matthys has a full range
of warping and beaming creels. A custom-made solution can be offered
to every customer. To cover all the requirements, four basic models that
are all extensible to meet the individual needs, have been developed.

The creels are designed and engineered to

meet each requirement. As a result of the
modular concept, the creel layout can easily
be changed at a later stage. Your today’s
investment is guaranteed for changing
requirements in the future. Matthys offers also
creels for direct beamers, knitting machines,
weaving and tufting equipment.
High performance creels for economical
production of top quality warps
Fixed frame creel, CW-F type
This creel features a fixed steel construction with suspended tensioner frames. This design
leaves the floor free for cleaning and offers excellent accessibility and handling. The fixed frame
creels are very often used in pairs, servicing a traversing warper. One creel can be running while
the other is being preloaded.

Truck creel, CW-T type

The packages are loaded on double-sided trucks that can be entered and taken out individually.
The trucks have ball-bearing mounted wheels for effortless movement. During the creeling
of the first set of trucks, the reserve set can be reloaded to shorten the lot changing times
considerably and enhance the productivity of the warping equipment. The downtime is
restricted to the time required to move the carriages in and out and to knot the yarns.

Magazine creel, CW-M type (inside or outside draw-off)

A magazine creel allows continuous, non-stop, yarn take-off. There are two packages per end.
Each package is fitted to an individual arm which can be rotated for easy loading and unloading.

Swivelling frame creel, CW-S type (inside or outside draw-off)

The next set of packages to be run, can be loaded and prepared while the warper is running
the previous set. When the running packages are empty, the package frames can be rotated
to bring the new set of packages into the active position. The rotating frames have a locating
catch-handle for easy positioning. Swivelling frame creels are used to warp successive sets of
equal length yarn packages with a minimum stopping time and a maximum production.
This creel is particularly suited for large packages of filament yarn.

Tensioning units and stop-motion detection systems

A number of different tensioning units and stop-motion sensors can be installed
on the Matthys creels in order to cover a large span of yarn types and counts.

Our vision:
Our inspection tables and winders are developed

After inspecting the fabric, the operator can
provide the roll with a label and/or tag
The roll is then packed automatically on the winder
and ejected onto the transport conveyor
With an integrated packing machine in the winder,
there is no bottleneck compared to working with
a central packing machine
This way of working is also much more reliable
and more flexible: there is no limit on the different
roll widths or plastic film types that can run at
the same time
Conveyors transport the rolls towards the
ultrasonic crop melting unit to seal the ends
The automatic labeller puts a label on the outside
of the packed roll
