Welt tape

The industry employs welt tapes for purposes such as the provision of the edges of upholstery with an attractive optical appearance, or protection against damage. They are suitable for the binding of all types of textiles and awning materials, and in the past were generally manufactured by means of braiding. However, using a modified version of the Z3 weaving system, it is now possible to produce them on a needle loom and thus enjoy high productivity. In the standard Z3 loom, both weft threads are knitted together by means of a latch needle on the right-hand side of the fabric, but in the modified system the upper weft thread slides on the lower weft needle to the left up to the cord of the welt tape. The cord only works in a half stroke and is thus tied in by the upper weft thread.
