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 speed...

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 energy-efficient...

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.

Building further on nearly 40 years of experience in airjet weaving and over 100,000 airjet machines shipped, the new OmniPlus-/ combines this heritage with a clear vision of the future. At Picanol, we believe that in this fast-changing world of weaving, the needs of weaving mills in general and the expectations of our customers and their operators are evolving rapidly. Our market is nowadays driven by increasing concern for environmental topics, higher costs and lower availability of resources and skills, as well as the digital revolution that is affecting all industries. That’s why the OmniPlus-/...

Driven by Data Picanol has pioneered the digitization of weaving machines for many decades now. SmartShed – the fully electronically controlled shedding motion incorporated in the new OmniPlus-i – is a logical next step in this evolution. This together with an abundant use of sensors generates lots of data that fuel real-time optimization algorithms and promise even further gains in productivity when combined with other data, even from other, different machines. So weaving with Picanol becomes truly driven by data. Intuitive Control Picanol machines are always designed to be as user-friendly...

For every style, the desired filling length immediately The unique, patented design of the Blue22 and Bluell prewinders allows quick and easy setting of the weft length. With the EasySet function, set-up is fully electronic, drastically reducing the time needed for style change. Set each weft channel individually for optimum insertion Large separate air tanks built into the machine sideframe, enable optimum setting by means of an electronic pressure regulator for each individual weaving channel. A full range of high-performance shedding motions The new Picanol independent and motorized shedding...

Maximize industrial speeds The new-generation sley cams are designed and produced by Picanol. The optimized reed motion is invaluable for coping with unclear sheds, affording more insertion time at even higher speeds. Smart Performance Solid structure, the basis for any application The proven Picanol concept combines two solid sideframes connected by large-section cross rails. The sley is driven from both sides by conjugated cams. The quickest way to get new styles up and running With the Picanol Quick Style Change (QSC), preparation of a new style is done outside the weave room. Furthermore,...

Manage the filling length to reduce waste The unique, patented design of the Blue22 and Bluell prewinders makes adjustment of the waste as quick and simple as possible. And with the EasySet function it is even fully electronic. Let the machine tune itself for Still the most energy-efficientminimum air consumption/power main drive available The ARVD II Plus automatically adapts the opening and closing time of the relay nozzle valves according to the behavior and air-friendliness of the filling yarn. The SUMO concept pioneered by Picanol is still the most energy-efficient main drive available....

The stability needed to optimize air consumption With the optimized relay nozzle spacing the stability of the weft insertion is lifted to a higher level. This makes it possible to minimize air consumption without compromising on fabric quality and machine stop level. Sustainability Inside PICANOL > Let's grow together y Take the next step to recycle weft waste At the end of the insertion, the filling yarn is stretched and guided into a suction mouth. The remaining filling yarn waste ends are then removed and are ready for recycling. An additional advantage of the CordLess is the reduced workload...

The advanced 15” interactive colour display is a new platform ready for all needs and applications, now and in the future. The smart digital shedding motion SmartShed is built for weavers who want maximum digitization and flexibility in the weaving process. The movement and crossing timing for each harness frame are now electronic settings. In addition the harness frame stroke is measured electronically and shown on the machine display.

The reliable electronic platform, ready for Industry 4.0 Right from the start the BlueBox electronic platform was designed to meet the needs of next-generation weavers. This goes further than flexibility and reliability. Data gathering and Data Access afford new opportunities to make your production even more efficient. Data-based remote service All service-related data in the machine can be made available simply and easily. This Customer Service File (CSF) enables Picanol to carry out remote diagnosis and take efficient action. Driven by 11 Ur oi n Data Let the machine be smart Various sensors...
