We specialize in offering a complete line of air splicing, composite air splicing, wrap splicing and mechanical knotting products designed specifically to join filament yarns, spun textile yarns, and composite fiber tows and yarns in all processing applications. Our yarn splicers and yarn knotters are available in a variety of different models and accommodate different yarn types, characteristics, and sizes.

Air splicers are designed to improve product quality and processing efficiency. Yarn splicers are used in hand-held, belt mount, and ATS track mount systems. Air splicers are also available for retrofitting on automatic winder splicing systems.

ATS track mounted splicing systems are designed for individual processing machines to optimize a more efficient and safe splicing application. Our various ATS track mount splicing systems allows the yarn splicer to be attached in the optimum work position, allowing for hands-free yarn manipulation and increased productivity.

Our line of yarn-joining systems fall under three primary categories:

Jointair Splicers: Air splicer that can be track mounted for the best splicing performance and minimum maintenance. The yarn splicer is available in different models that are used in a variety of filament, industrial, and composite yarns.
