Technical embroidery

We are your specialist when it comes to the Development and production of technical textiles, heating elements or heating mats and smart textiles using laying machines This process involves laying conductive threads, strands, wires, or heating conductors onto carrier materials using computer-controlled machines. Fixation is achieved by... Sewing/embroidery technique Therefore, our technical embroidery offers a durable, highly flexible connection.

Embro's technical embroidery for flexible heating elements, smart textiles, textile sensors & composite applications

Embroidery technology

Embro is your specialist for professional embroidery technology! Technical embroidery is a subfield of computer embroidery or machine embroidery. Sometimes it is also called 3D embroidery or 3D stitching This term refers to the process by which conductive wires and strands or high-tech fibers are applied to carrier materials in a quasi-three-dimensional manner during textile processing.

In the field of technical embroidery, a basic distinction is made. 2 main areas:

Tailored Wire Placement (TWP)

In wire placement, as the name suggests, a wire is fixed to a textile surface (= carrier material) by means of overstitching/sewing. This creates a tailored wire placement effect. firm yet highly flexible connectionThe positioning of the strands or conductive yarns is completely arbitrary.

This makes it possible to place the function (heating, antennas, sensors, etc.) where it is needed. This also allows, among other things, for... textile cables and flexible electronics produced.

Tailored Fiber Placement (TFP) – Fiber placement at the manufacturer Embro

Tailored Fiber Placement – ​​fiber laying (TFP)

In this process Fiber composites / Carbon to a carrier substrate "Laid out" in such a way that the fiber orientation is optimally aligned with the force paths. This allows for highly productive and reproducible processes. Dry Preforms are manufactured. Due to the precise fiber placement/carbon processing, an almost zero-waste working is possible.

Cutting technologies

Our modern, camera-based cutting systems These are the ideal tools to ensure fast, precise, and efficient separation of the embroidered elements. Whether the CNC cutter with their mechanical cutting tools or our CO2 laser cutting systemn: In both cases, even the most complicated layouts can be cut out of textile surfaces effectively, with millimeter precision and at low cost.

It makes no difference whether it is traditional synthetic fibers, highly specialized technical textilen such as composite materials made of foams or laminated materials with self-adhesive film concerns.

The advantages of laser technology are... welded edgesThis prevents the textiles from splitting or fraying.

Lamination

The further processing of the embroidered semi-finished products is carried out according to requirements using Cold or hot lamination, tailored to your individual needs and the materials used. In the so-called "cold lamination" process, the heating elements are equipped with a self-adhesive backing, enabling efficient further processing by the customer.

At our Hot laminating press Is it possible for us to connect the elements with another material in such a way that the wires and strands protected from external influences are or have other properties such as Patchability or conductivity They can be equipped. Temperatures of up to 200 degrees are reached during the process.

Laminate

The lamination technique used by Embro allows, for example, two textile surfaces under heat and pressure put together This process is used in the production of functional textiles. A second textile surface is laminated onto a specific component under pressure and heat to protect it. Further applications for protecting electrical and electronic components include the production of heating elements and flexible printed circuit boards.

Contacting including sensor integration

We can deliver the following upon request Semi-finished products with electrical connectionIn addition to the many possibilities for placing different elements onto substrates using special embroidery techniques, Embro offers Splicing or soldering techniques for perfect and cost-effective connections. The parts are crimped or soldered together as standard.

The introduction of thermal switches, NTC or other cable solutions That's also no problem. Even special ones. Connector solutions This can be implemented. Therefore, the finished semi-finished products are plug & play ready upon delivery.

Quality control

From the very beginning, the quality of our products has been our top priority. We know that we Trust of our customers can only fulfill this if our services highest demands sufficient. That's why we've always looked for international industry standards We have worked hard and constantly reviewed and improved our processes.

To document our commitment to quality externally, we have our [document/project], which has been in existence since 2014. Quality management system from TÜV Süd Get recertified according to the well-known DIN EN ISO 9001 standard:
