Drive Systems
Direct Drive System (DDS)
EF/T System
The DDS series is based on the patented Dornier SyncroDrive®. This low-maintenance drive system without a clutch-brake unit is characterised by extremely low speed variations and therefore achieves unparalleled speeds. Both the base machine and the Jacquard machine are individually driven by a servo motor.
The EF/T series is based on the CompactDrive by Dornier. This ultra low-maintenance drive system with a clutch-brake unit can run reliably at stable production speeds even with heavy pattern changes or Jacquard machines with hugh numbers of lifting hooks.
