FABRIC DESIGN ERGONOMIC MACHINE The TerryMax-i offers full flexibility in design. The TerryMax-i machine is unusually low at the front. Pushbuttons The pre-beat-up is independently driven by the pile height motor, and all settings are electronically set on the microprocessor. with metal dome technology are conveniently located and have optical command confirmation. All main settings are carried out above the fabric line, providing perfect accessibility for weavers and operators. No mechanical settings are required. The pile Connecting the harness frames to the drive system is done in a single...

SUMO MAIN MOTOR The oil-cooled Sumo main motor drives the weaving machine directly, without belt or clutch and brake. The combination of the ELECTRONIC TAKE-UP (ETU) AND LET-OFF (ELO) Same technology as Sumo main motor. highly energy-efficient Sumo motor with the direct drive (patented) for main shaft and shedding motion results in power savings of more than 10% in comparison with conventional clutch and brake configurations. The energy cost for air conditioning is also reduced as the Sumo motor generates less heat in the weaving mill. SHORT DRIVE TRAIN The motor speed is controlled electronically,...

ACTIVE FILLING TENSIONERS Each prewinder can be equipped with a Programmable TEC Filling Tensioner (patented). Tension control makes it possible to weave weak yarns at even higher speeds. As an alternative for very demanding applications the Electronic Filling Tensioner (EFT) (patented) can be offered. QUICK STEP FILLING PRESENTER The Quick Step operates with independent modules, each consisting of an electronically controlled stepper motor with presenter needle. After the left gripper has taken the presented yarn, the Quick Step needle returns to an intermediate position . At filling break,...

PREWINDER SWITCH-OFF (PSO) The piezoelectric filling detector stops the machine in case of a filling break. With its Prewinder Switch-Off system, the machine carries on weaving if a filling break occurs on the bobbin creel or one of the prewinders. SUMO MAIN MOTOR The Sumo motor makes it possible to continuously adapt the machine speed pick by pick to match the strength of the filling yarn or weaving pattern (OptiSpeed). This combination of Sumo motor with electronic settings makes it easy to obtain the highest possible industrial speeds, taking into account the yarn quality, the number of harnesses...

OPTIMIZED SHED GEOMETRY The short stroke of the sley and the frames and the redesigned rapier heads allow the TerryMax-i to weave with a small shed opening. The location of the sley cams below the fabric allows heavier beat-up forces, so fabrics with high GUIDED GRIPPER SYSTEM Standard solution for spun yarns. The rapier tape on the lightweight Guided Gripper system is perfectly guided by onepiece hooks (patented). Together with a small shed and a small rapier head, industrial speeds are reached that were never attained before. density borders can be woven with ease. RIGID CONSTRUCTION Two redesigned...
