TC-1 Loom with electronic jacquard for hand weaving
Thread
Controller TC-1 is ultimate & dynamic design tool for
weavers. The Thread Controller is modular, and therefore easy to configure
and reconfigure. New and optimized production methods as well as detailed
control and testing have made the Thread Controller a flexible and dynamic
design tool. TC-1 is ideal for designers working in freelance or in mill
design studios, for educational institutions, for small scale production
in hand weaving, for artists etc.. With TC-1 you can create designs which
normally require a Jacquard loom. In shaft weaves change the number of
shafts, threadings and weave structures instantly.
Direct control of every single warp end, through advanced
technology, results in:
- Handling of complex weave designs
- Minimal rethreading
- Flexibility
Rapid prototyping
- Minimal space requirements
The Thread controller is modular solution with interchangeable parts is
developed to make TC-1 user friendly and easy to maintain. Each module
has 220 healds / warp threads. Maximum configurations up to 16 modules
are available so that total 3520 healds / warp threads controlled individually.
Minimum configurations with 4 modules are available so that total 880 healds
/ warp threads controlled individually.

From idea to woven fabric in minutes
- The Thread Controller TC-1 goes beyond the limitations of any handloom
- The Thread Controller TC-1 takes you from an idea to the actual fabric
in minutes
- You operate your Thread Controller TC-1 alone
- The Thread
Controller TC-1 allows you to produce woven “hardcopies” in the handloom,
as an alternative or a supplement to flat simulations on screen or paper
- The Thread Controller TC-1 makes warp simulate any threading on shafts
or in a Jacquard, so re-threading of the warp is not necessary.
- The
Thread Controller TC-1 allows you to weave each new design on a different
warp density and with new weave structures
- The Windows based environment
minimizes training time, and represents a well tested user-interface
- The Thread Controller TC-1 enables collaboration with interior designers,
fashion designers and architects for the contract market
- The Thread
Controller TC-1 demonstrates to your clients and customers that you are
a processional at the leading edge of weave technology
