The future. Should we be afraid of it? At Picanol we believe our children already show us what the future brings. Their expectations are our new benchmarks. His openness to novelty is our benchmark Their care for the planet is our benchmark Her lack of patience is our benchmark Her ease with technology is our benchmark Their today is our tomorrow. Because more than ever, in the future, we don’t just want to grow. We want to grow together.

Our design principles: how we build our machines. When starting the design of a new machine, we have to do better than just a few picks faster than the previous generation. Today’s world is all about connectivity, user-centric design, intuitive controls, self-learning capacities and sustainability ... to name just a few. These are the benchmarks for a future-proof design. Smart Performance Performance is the first requirement for any machine or feature, and the obvious indicator is the theoretical maximum speed. Very often, however, the gap between this theoretical speed and the effective...

Smart Performance, Sustainability Inside, Driven by Data and Intuitive Control are the basic principles of any Picanol weaving machine. They allow your company to thrive in today’s world of Industry 4.0: connected, digital and sustainable. That’s why we at Picanol design our machines around the principle of ‘Smart Performance’: intelligent machine design combined with self-setting software, allowing the highest possible practical speed and best performance under all conditions. We have demonstrated this with our pioneering Sumo drive. Introduced back in 1996, it is still the most...

GTMax-i 3.0S Connect The benchmark in rapier weaving If versatile and productive weaving driven by digitization and Industry 4.0 is your objective, you can now be sure of real added value with the unique, future-oriented GTMax-i 3.0S Connect. The GTMax-i 3.0S Connect is a continuation of the success of the GTMax-i 3.0 machine platform. It uses the proven rapier weaving technology, with full electronic monitoring and control, the redesigned SUMO main motor, and microprocessor-controlled filling insertion. This weaving machine has been designed to meet the objective of maximizing return on...

Driven by Data Picanol has pioneered the digitization of weaving machines for many decades now. The BlueBox is our reliable electronic platform, ready for Industry 4.0. Data gathering and data access afford new opportunities to make your production even more efficient. The data is ready to be used for further optimization of the machine performance or to be exchanged with data available in the cloud. Therefore, weaving with Picanol becomes truly driven by data. Intuitive Control Picanol machines are always designed to be as user-friendly as possible. Thanks to its intuitive user interface...

Gentle treatment of all kinds of yarn From detection of the filling yarn to the unique QuickStep weft presenter and the Mechanical filling cutter, all are designed throughout to handle the widest variety of weft yarns in the smoothest possible way. The QuickStep weft presenter operates with independent modules, each consisting of an electronically controlled stepper motor with presenter needle. The modules are interchangeable and there are no mechanical drives. Therefore, no maintenance or lubrication is required. Solid structure combined with proven shed geometry, the basis for any...

Maximum performance Whether you are looking for high speed or ultimate versatility, the GTMax-i 3.0S Connect can be equipped with the most suitable rapier system. The platform has been re-designed to enable the fastest rapier weaving machine with the Guided Gripper version. The Free Flight version with the raceboard execution ensures the best solution for filament warp yarns, in combination with maximum weft versatility. The Free Flight with carriers has been designed for weaving delicate fabrics with hairy warp yarns, such as fine worsted. Smart Performance Future-proof thanks to modular...

The most energy-efficient main drive has now become even more energy-efficient The redesigned SUMO drive concept pioneered by Picanol is the most energy-efficient main drive on the market. The oil-cooled SUMO main motor drives the weaving machine directly without the need for a belt or a clutch and brake. Designed as an integrated system, it affords the lowest possible energy consumption while at the same time offering many other advantages such as full-range speed control, slow motion, pick finding, and even automatic crossing setting. The new integrated temperature sensor completes the...

No more doubts about the temperature and humidity Every Picanol machine has an integrated temperature and humidity sensor. The data is available through PicConnect. Shortest drive train Picanol offers the most energy-efficient machine thanks to the SUMO main motor and the shortest drive train. The very short drive train is simple and compact, and the machine reaches full speed right from the very first pick. With only 4 gears, the main motor drives the sley drive, the rapier drives, and the shedding motion. This is the best guarantee for ensuring the lowest energy losses. Sustainability...

Prepare your weaving mill for the next industrial revolution PicConnect is the gateway to all of Picanol’s digital services, from industrial IoT to servicerelated applications. PicConnect enabled means that the machine is ready to fully leverage PicConnect applications. Reduce the impact of bobbin failures With its PSO (Prewinder Switch-Off) system, the machine carries on weaving automatically even if a filling break occurs on the weft bobbin creel or one of the prewinders.

The reliable electronic platform, ready for Industry 4.0 The BlueBox electronic platform, designed to meet the needs of next-generation weavers, got an update to enable improved data handling. Data gathering and data access afford new opportunities to make your production even more efficient. The combination of the well-known reliability, flexibility and the new design of the BlueBox, sets the benchmark for electronic platforms in the market. BlueBox offers optimal microprocessor speeds, increased memory capacity, and a modular circuit board set-up. Network connectivity allows remote...
