Airbag Fabric Weaving on Projectile Looms
topic
Automotive airbag fabric production on projectile looms weaves nylon 6.6 or nylon 6 filament yarn in plain weave construction at 35 to 80 threads per centimetre in both warp and weft directions, achieving the high thread density, balanced construction, and precise dimensional accuracy required for airbag performance, with one-piece woven OPW airbags woven to shaped outlines on modified projectile looms using shaped reed sections.
Role
Positions projectile looms as the primary technology for automotive airbag fabric production where the ability to weave high-density nylon filament fabric at wide widths with the precise dimensional accuracy and construction balance required for airbag deployment performance meets the specific technical requirements of automotive safety textile production.
