Introduction
I am pleased to introduce the first of a series of four ″Reference Books″ about textile machinery technologies, which
the ACIMIT Foundation decided to offer to the Italian textile institutes.
The subjects of this Reference Book are machines, accessories, ancillary equipment and technologies related to
″Weaving″, a sector in which Italy boasts the presence of top−ranking companies offering worldwide a state-of-the-art
know-how.
This Reference Book concerning ″Weaving″ will be followed in the year 2001 by three other References Books
reserved to ″Knitting″, ″Spinning″ and ″Finishing.
The exigence of realizing these Reference Books originated from a series of meetings which the ACIMIT Foundation
− within various initiatives aimed at developing their relations with the educational bodies - decided to start up in cooperation with the headmasters and the teaching staff of the textile institutes.
ACIMIT Foundation had been informed in fact that the editions which are presently used as textbooks in these
institutes do not keep up any more with the continuous and rapid technological development characterizing this sector
in last years.
Consequently, to comply as much as possible with the learning needs of the students, the ACIMIT Foundation
thought it advisable, in agreement with the headmasters of the various institutes, to entrust the realization of the
Reference Books to a group of teachers of these institutes, who accepted with great enthusiasm this not easy task.
The Italian textile machinery producers wish therefore to thank sincerely the headmasters and teachers of these
institutes, from which they draw precious resources for the development of their own enterprises.
As nothing is born perfect, we shall be sincerely grateful to everybody concerned (students, teachers, company
technicians, etc.) for any suggestion and correction, which will enable us to improve our work and make it more and
more profitable.
Alberto M. Sacchi, President, ACIMIT Foundation

Acknowledgments
ACIMIT Foundation feel bound to thank the headmasters and the teachers of
following Institutes:
• ITIS Buzzi, Prato
• ITIS Casale, Torino
• ITIS Leonardo da Vinci, Carpi (MO)
• ITIS Marzotto, Valdagno (VI)
• ITIS Sella, Biella
• ITIS Carcano, Como
• ITIS Facchinetti, Castellanza (VA)
• ITIS Leonardo da Vinci, Napoli
• ITIS Paleocapa, Bergamo

Without the helpfulness and the efficient co-operation of the headmasters and
teachers of above Institutes, the editing of these Reference Books would
never have been possible.
In particular, the draft of the ″Weaving″ Reference Book was performed by
following teachers:
prof. Giovanni Castelli
prof. Salvatore Maietta
prof. Giusepe Sigrisi
prof. Ivo Matteo Slaviero
ITIS Varese
ITIS Varese
ITIS Carcano
ITIS Marzotto
who devoted to it time and enthusiasm and deserve the warmest thanks of the
ACIMIT Foundation.
