Investment Casting for the Textile Industry

Textile machines run continuously at high speed. In small mechanism parts, wear and dimensional consistency directly affect machine efficiency.

Why Investment Casting for Textile Machine Parts?

Investment casting produces small, detailed parts in series. At high quantities it can offer a cost advantage over machining.

Typical Parts

Cam and lever parts, shuttle and needle-bed components, holders, gears and mechanism elements.

Material Selection

Hardenable steels are preferred for wear and stainless steels for wet processes.

Tolerances and Quality

We cast parts to customer drawings. We can produce parts from 1 g to 25 kg and meet VDG P690 D3, the most precise class of the standard. See our tolerances page for the values.

Design Points for Textile Machinery Parts

• Keep contact surfaces smooth so they do not damage yarn or fabric.
• Define wear surfaces and any hardening needed.
• Provide tight tolerances only where the mechanism needs them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which materials are used for Textile Machinery parts?

Low-carbon steels and heat-treated 4140 are common for small mechanism parts.

Can you cast very small parts?

Yes, we cast parts from 1 g.

What part sizes and tolerances can you cast?

We cast parts from 1 g to 25 kg and meet tolerances up to VDG P690 D3.

What do you need for a quotation?

A drawing or 3D model, the material and the annual quantity. Price and minimum order quantity depend on the part.
