German nonwovens textile accessories producer Groz-Beckert has uploaded four animated films on the homepage of its website to give its customers a true user experience, which has a feature of running the film slower, allowing movements invisible to the naked eye due to the speed of animation more perceptible and are also available via its app.

According to the company, understanding becomes a challenge during the mechanical bonding process of nonwoven fabrics, as at speeds of up to 3,000 strokes per minute, the movement of felting needles can hardly be perceived. Hence they have introduced the slow motion feature.

One film analyses the movement of the needle and offers a detailed and time-delayed illustration of the overall process of nonwoven fabric manufacture.

Another film explicitly illustrates the behaviour of fibres when the needle plunges into the product groove, to better follow how fibres bond and loops are formed and also understand better on how nonwoven products mechanically bond during needling.

”In addition to the textile-technical visualisation, the animations also provide an entirely new perspective on depiction of targeted nonwoven fabric characteristics based on needle selection,” Groz-Beckert said.

“Felting needles thus achieve a flat and uniform surface, while fork needles make a grainy, and crown needles a velvet-like surface,” it observed. (AR)
