Wire & Smart-Textile Cording

CONDUCTRA-9

Embroidered wires, sensors, heating elements — the smart-textile workhorse.

A nine-needle flat head paired with a single PD (taping) head, configured for couching continuous wire, CNT thread, and conductive cord under engineered stitch paths. The platform that turns embroidery into an electrical assembly process.

Overview

Embroidered wires, sensors, heating elements — the smart-textile workhorse.

Why this machine

Drop a 28 AWG copper wire under flat stitch, route a meander, and you have a heated panel. Swap to CNT thread and you have an antenna. Add a piezoresistive thread and you have a pressure sensor. One machine, one workflow, the entire smart-textile stack.
