ITMA <strong>2011</strong> witnessed<br />
the release for<br />
sale of the MBJ6, the<br />
latest generation in<br />
the MÜGRIP machine<br />
series. MÜGRIP rapier<br />
looms are <strong>exclusive</strong>ly<br />
developed and<br />
manufactured for label<br />
weaving and are the<br />
world’s most frequently<br />
used machine in this<br />
field.<br />
As opposed to previous<br />
MBJ models,<br />
the MBJ6 is equipped<br />
with an additional,<br />
sixth repeat, which increases<br />
the machine’s<br />
rated weaving width<br />
to 1,380 mm. A spatial<br />
crank gearing provides<br />
the rapier drive of the<br />
MBJ6 and its speed is<br />
transferred gently to<br />
the weft yarn to be inserted. As a<br />
consequence, the speed of the fiverepeat<br />
machine is retained, but output<br />
is 20 per cent higher.<br />
Shedding takes place via an SPE<br />
jacquard machine with 1,536 hooks<br />
and the machines on display at the<br />
ITMA have 1,152 and 864 jacquard<br />
functions respectively. The MBJ6 is<br />
available in 4, 6, 8 and 12 weft colour<br />
versions. The universal rapier<br />
newly developed for this machine<br />
generation permits the success-<br />

yarn qualities beginning from 20<br />
dtex. Furthermore, the new cutting<br />
elements stand for uniform label<br />

weaving section. All the label designs<br />
manufactured on MBJ models<br />
can be exchanged reciprocally and<br />
are 1<strong>00</strong> per cent reproducible.<br />
The new machine also employs an<br />
innovative, energy-optimised drive<br />
concept, which cuts power losses to<br />
a minimum and provides a double-
