Bally Ribbon Mills highlights e-textile product for embedded electric technology
Bally Ribbon Mills E-WEBBINGS e-textile product base
Bally Ribbon Mills (BRM) is highlighting its proprietary E-WEBBINGS® e-textile product base, designed to serve as a customizable base for a wide range of smart textiles used in aerospace applications.
These smart textiles are conductive fabrics that enable the electronic transmission of data, sensations (light, noise, vibrations, heat, etc.) and power. They allow for smaller final product size, lower weight, optimal user comfort, reduced bill of material and cost savings.
E-WEBBINGS® narrow woven fabrics are made from a wide variety of fibers and conductive elements that allow electronics and digital parts to be embedded in them. BRM works with customers to design the structural and conductive components that allow for the detection and gathering of data depending on the specific applications.
Before designing and customizing E-WEBBINGS®, BRM engineers work to understand the purpose and specific requirements of the end device and collaborate with clients throughout each step of the process.
Designers select each component and factor that goes into an E-WEBBINGS® textile, so the conductor, base webbing, power source and sensor work seamlessly together, the press release said.
Conductive fibers or wires can be woven right into the E-WEBBINGS® fabric, allowing for transmission of power and information without the need for additional wiring in the final component. BRM also offers many sensor options, based on where within the product the textile structure is located and what types of information or data it needs to measure.
