Robotic Tufting Machine Successfully Installed at Japan Factory

MIXC TEXTILE TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. is pleased to announce the successful installation and commissioning of a robotic tufting machine at a customer’s factory in Japan. This project marks another milestone in our commitment to delivering high-precision, high-efficiency carpet manufacturing solutions powered by advanced robotics and intelligent control systems.

From on-site setup to final production testing, the equipment achieved stable operation and met the customer’s quality requirements for premium carpet and rug production—especially in the area of surface finish and detail consistency, where Japanese manufacturing standards are well known for being exceptionally demanding.

Project Highlights: Efficient Installation, Stable Commissioning, Smooth Ramp-Up

During the commissioning phase, our engineering team worked closely with the customer’s production and maintenance staff to ensure:

• Accurate machine leveling and frame alignment

• Optimized base-cloth tension settings for consistent surface flatness

• Parameter calibration for stitch density, pile height, and pattern execution

• Full-function verification of safety, motion control, and automated monitoring systems

• Trial production runs to validate repeatability and finished product quality

The machine quickly entered a stable production state, supporting the customer’s plan to improve output efficiency while maintaining premium craftsmanship standards.

Innovation Spotlight: Electric Twisting On Line

A key technology showcased in this Japan installation is our Electric Twisting On Line system—an advanced process capability designed to elevate the visual and tactile quality of tufted carpets.

What is Electric Twisting On Line?

Electric twisting on line refers to electronically controlled twisting applied during production, enabling precise manipulation of yarn behavior and surface appearance as the carpet is being formed.

Why it matters for premium carpet production

Unlike conventional approaches that can be limited by manual tuning or fixed mechanical settings, this system enables:

• Precise control of twisting angle to achieve the desired aesthetic effect

• Fine-level adjustments for different patterns, pile structures, and yarn types

• Better overall surface refinement, improving the uniformity and luxury feel

• Detail-by-detail consistency, helping ensure the same effect across repeated batches

In short, the result is a more exquisite, more controlled finish—down to the smallest design elements—supporting customers who target high-end commercial and hospitality projects, signature rugs, or bespoke interior applications.

Advanced Robotic Tufting Performance: Precision, Speed, and Intelligence

The robotic tufting machine installed in Japan integrates MIXC Robotufter’s proven strengths in automation and precision manufacturing:

• Repeat positioning accuracy of X/Y axis: ±0.1mm/m

• High-speed capability supporting efficient production cycles

• Intelligent computer control that can adjust needle spacing during production to meet different carpet requirements

• Automation features such as yarn-break detection with alarm and automatic return to the maintenance point

• Motor-assisted cloth pulling device to adjust base-cloth tension and maintain carpet surface flatness

• Support for complex designs, including high/low pile, and combinations of cut pile and loop pile

These capabilities help manufacturers reduce rework, improve consistency, and increase productivity without compromising on quality.

Customer Value: Better Control, Better Aesthetics, Better Consistency

For this Japanese customer, the key value delivered by the project includes:

1. Enhanced product appearance through controlled online twisting, enabling more refined surface effects

2. Higher repeatability from robotic positioning and stable motion control

3. Improved production efficiency with automation and optimized operating parameters

4. Reduced risk of defects thanks to monitoring and maintenance-return mechanisms

This installation demonstrates how advanced tufting automation can meet strict quality expectations while supporting scalable output.

End-to-End Support: From Installation Guidance to Operator Training

As part of the project delivery, MIXC Robotufter provided full on-site and remote support services, including:

• Installation guidance and configuration

• Operation and parameter-setting training for operators and technicians

• Commissioning validation and trial production assistance

• After-sales technical support planning to ensure long-term stable operation

Our goal is not only to deliver a machine—but to ensure customers can fully realize its performance potential in real production environments.
