The multi-purpose auto-cut splicer specially designed for high-value technical yarns

The 181 has been developed for the forefront of textile technology. It combines Airbond’s 80 year’s experience with our cutting edge 3D printing technology to produce a product that perfectly fits in modern textile manufacturing.

Designed from the ground up to take advantage of 3D printing – the 181 is lightweight, easy to use, and can handle a large range of yarns. The splicer features a large string up area for ease of use, and imprinted symbols for fool proof operation.

While making use of complex mechanics, the splicer itself is extremely robust and needs minimal maintenance, which is very simple.

Hand-held, fixed, or rail-mounted, the 181 can meet most factory needs, and if circumstances change, new 181 bodies to the required configuration can be printed quickly by Airbond. The splicer can be supplied with a blast timer, or with a flow control system which supplies low-pressure air to the blast chamber, while keeping full pressure for the cutters. The cutters are adjustable, to enhance performance.
