The best weaving quality fabric from the best quality sizing
“Reliable Preparatory Machines Brand: T-Tech Japan” (Booth No: H3 C11)
T-Tech Japan Corp. will exhibit the sizing machine that supports stable and more productive operations of the jet
looms.
New type of Weave Navigation® System-II is employed
Master of state-of-the-art “ZAX9200i MASTER Air Jet Loom”
This is the high-end model of ZAX series. The weaving support that Tsudakoma developed before the rest of
the world has been upgraded to the “Weave Navigation® System-II” with a lot of enhanced user-friendliness.
Resources, energy, and manpower are also massively saved. It is an advanced air jet loom that is worthy of the
name “MASTER.”
The ZAX9200i-Terry can weave complicated towel designs of high quality with the ZAX9200i’s ultra-high speed
ability and the “Versa-Terry System” that combines towel-weaving know-how from around the world.
Energy saving & low vibration
“ZW8100 Water Jet Loom”
The ZW8100’s high-speed ability and stability have been improved. Its speed is increased by 10% while electric
power consumption is reduced by 5%. On-loom vibration is half of existing models.
Provided with the “Weave Navigation® System” that is highly regarded among air jet loom users, the ZW8100
weaves high quality complicated textiles.

Fruition of efficiency by Tsudakoma group “New TSC Style Change System (Pat. Pending)” In addition to shortening downtime of looms, man-hours of the entire mill can be reduced for higher efficiency by using warp preparation machinery from “T-Tech Japan.”
Based on the concept of “Smart Ecology, Ecology and Economy in Harmony,” the Tsudakoma group continues to pursue and offer the manufacturing ideal: Best Products in the Best Environment.
2. Exhibit highlights TSUDAKOMA Corp. (Booth No: H3 D32)
1) ZAX9200i MASTER Air Jet Loom
The ZAX9200i realizes high-speed stability in weaving even with 6-color weft selection and reduces air
consumption by 10% with its clear shedding, extended insertion angle due to the new 6-link beating stroke, the
i-Weave, and the DSS-II Direct Sub-nozzle System.
The weaving support that Tsudakoma developed before the rest of the world has been upgraded to the “Weave
Navigation® System-II.” New electrical components are provided and the Navi-board display is widened so that
more information can be more easily checked. Operators can conduct maintenance and troubleshooting while
referring to the moving images displayed on the Navi-board.
The adjustable guide bar is employed. There is no need for cutting the guide bar according to the reeding width.
The time required for style changes is greatly reduced.
The PSC Programmable Speed Control contributes to high-speed stability by changing the rpm based on yarn
kinds.

2) ZAX9200i MASTER Terry Air Jet Loom
The new model ZAX9200i-Terry is an exclusive terry-weaving air jet loom that features enhanced high-speed
and operability with the new electrical components and the Navi-board.
The “Versa-Terry System” takes advantage of Tsudakoma’s terry weaving knowledge. Various designed towels,
such as multi-pick towels can be woven with our "Versa-Terry System." All with a soft touch and feel.
The “PSC Programmable Speed Control” reduces the speed during difficult border sections improving loom
efficiency. With the TMC Terry Motion Control, the ZAX9200i-Terry weaves high-quality & heavy fabric and
expands its flexibility. Furthermore, the i-Weave and the DSS-II Direct Sub-nozzle System drastically reduce air
consumption.
3) ZW8100 Water Jet Loom The ZW8100 is designed to
optimize its frame structure,
b e a t i n g , a n d s h e d d i n g .
Emp loy ing the new p i t ch -
shor tened nozzles and the
new 6-link short stroke beating
increases i ts speed by 10%
while reducing electric power
existing models. The ZW8100
attains high speeds without
compromising fabric quality.
The ZW8100 is provided with the "Weave Navigation® System" that enjoys a good reputation from air jet loom
users. It helps adjustments for weft insertion by displaying the recommended data.
The ZW8100 supports a wider range of fabrics. Weaving a wide range of fabrics is possible by combining the
electronic dobby machine, the new pitch-shortened nozzles, the twin pump, and the 4-color weft selection.
The “PSC Programmable Speed Control” switches the rpm for a structure difficult to weave. Thus, productivity is
greatly increased.

4) New TSC Style Change System (Pat. Pending) Not only individual looms but your whole mill
can be streamlined. In addition to shortening
loom downtime, man-hours of a whole mill
can be reduced for higher efficiency by using
warp preparation machinery branded “T-Tech
Japan.”
As the warp beams are not laid on the floor,
the beam flanges will not be damaged. It
will also contribute to stabilizing weaving
conditions. Man-hours for a style change can
be reduced a maximum of 30% depending on
conditions.
5) TISS Tsudakoma Internet Support System (Pat. Pending) Tsudakoma plans to build an integrated online support system for users to achieve their loom’s best
performance.
Users’ looms will be linked to Tsudakoma via the Internet to enhance their operation and productivity.
TSUDAKOMA (CHANGSHU) CO., LTD. (Booth No: H3 D32) 6) ZW508 Water Jet Loom
The ZW508 is a Chinese-created
Tsudakoma loom providing water
customers.
from general apparel fabrics to
middle-thick value-added fabrics
Pitch-shortened nozzles increase
allows weft insertion with a small
shed opening. Combined with
the short-stroke beating, stable
possible.
Soft picking kind to yarns is also attained even under ultra-high speed with small amount of water. Not only
fabric quality is improved, but water consumption is also reduced.
The let-off section is applicable for the maximum warp tension of 6000N, and the pick density can be up to 400
picks/inch. The application range is widely expanded.

Jingwei Tsudakoma Textile Machinery (Xianyang) Co., Ltd. (Booth No: H3 D32) 7) ZAX-GSi Air Jet Loom
Genuine parts made by Tsudakoma
Corp. are employed for the key
areas, such as the electric control
systems, the weft insertion section,
and the driving section. This China-
Japan joint machine, created by
integrating with the reasonable
production systems in China,
demonstrates weaving a value-
added fabric.
Th e n e w m o d e l “ Z A X - G S i ”
developed based on the concept of
“Smart Ecology” is introduced.
In addition to weaving support, operability, and high productivity using the Navi-board, weaving costs are
reduced. The sturdy frame structure suppresses vibration even when weaving a heavy fabric. Its durability is
outclassing.
The 8-color weft selection and the top & bottom double beams realize wide versatility and stable operation.
T-Tech Japan Corp. (Booth No: H3 C11) 8) TTS20S Spun Sizing Machine
T-Tech Japan helps improve the
quality operations of the weaving
process in the preparatory machines
such as the sizing machines that
Tsudakoma Corp. manufactures,
inheriting the state-of-the-art Japanese
technology of preparatory machines.
such as sizing quality, it is easily
possible to offer high level operation,
operation control, and quality control
with the “Sizing Navigation System.”
They will exhibit the TTS20S Spun Sizing Machine in TTJ’s stand. The TTS20S supports high speed operation of
the air jet looms for weaving quality fabric. The detailed controls achieve superior energy saving.
T-Tech Japan also attains quality warp yarn sizing with stable tension control from low to high. They have the
preparatory machines that maximize a water jet's performance such as the filament sizing machine, the TSE30F.
T-Tech Japan is ready for small lot production and the fast-changing market demands in preparatory machines.
They also help improve the quality and operations of the weaving process.
