Technical textiles replace conventional technologies

Smart Textiles: Wearable textiles with intelligent functions

Smart textiles and wearable textiles from the manufacturer Embro

There is nothing that Smart textiles cannot! The intelligent textiles (also known as smart textiles, wearable textiles, conductive textiles or e-textiles) conduct, heat, send, receive, measure and can even to shine, while their textile properties are preserved remain. Technical embroidery creates stretchable, conductive tapes and textile structures.

Smart textiles combine all the advantages of textiles with a technical function. The technology remains (almost) invisible, yet offers great potential for your ideas.

Together with you, we develop intelligent textiles for your innovative ideas for functional textile applications.

Heated jackets, shoes, and gloves are just the beginning. Smart textiles have almost limitless applications, including in the... Medicine and in the Sportswhere, for example, they monitor vital functions or stimulate muscles. Also the Automotive Industry and Aerospace have recognized the potential of e-textiles and are increasingly relying on smart fabrics and intelligent textiles to realize technical functions.

Functional textiles are the future! We are happy to contribute our experience to new projects and seek solutions that others cannot find.

Flexible Electronics: Printed circuit boards & conductive traces for your products

We embroider circuits and conductive traces onto flexible substrates.

You define the dimensions and your specific requirementse.g. in relation to Flexibility, temperature resistance or robustness to the flexible printed circuit boards you need for your industrial application.

Together with you we will choose the suitable carrier material from and develop a optimal layoutWe tailor the dimensions and intended use of your textile printed circuit board. We place flexible conductor tracks onto textile and other flexible substrate materials. We fix the conductor tracks using our innovative system. Embroidery technologyThis is how precise circuits and flexible electronics are created for your innovative products.

We create the final layout of your flexible electronics once using our CAD software. Then our machines manufacture your textile electronic components. with high productivity and repeatability in small and large production runs.

Flexible electronics & printed circuit boards from the manufacturer Embro

Gain a competitive edge with flexible printed circuit boards in your innovative products!

Benefit from these advantages of flexible electronics:

Almost unlimited dimensions and virtually any size and shape of circuits and conductor tracks can be defined (e.g. 2.500 x 1.500 mm)

Technical embroidery: How smart textiles are created

Flexible electric heating elements for smart textiles from Embro

Using computer-controlled embroidery machines specifically designed for technical embroidery, we lay and fix conductive threads, strands, wires, or heating conductors onto textile substrates. Embroidery technology enables a permanent and highly flexible connection of the conductors to the substrate. This results in smart textiles for a wide range of applications.

Through the embroidery process, we are able to... highest precision and reproducibility amongst other things finest strands (up to 0,04 mm), coated threads, light guides, hoses or others sensitive materials to install materials that are difficult or impossible to process using other manufacturing methods.

A key advantage is the free choice of material and the Carrier materials.

Together with you, we develop embroidered technical textiles that perfect for your application and Further processing in your products suitable.

The technology of technical embroidery offers you Key advantages over conventional manufacturing processes:

✓ Smart textiles are highly conductive and yet flexible, stretchable and crease-resistant.
✓ Computer-controlled embroidery machines guarantee the highest precision and reproducibility
✓ The finest strands (down to 0,04 mm) and sensitive materials can be processed.
✓ Shape, size, ladder and support materials are freely definable
✓ Conductive textiles can be produced efficiently and cost-effectively.
