SEPARATE AIR TANK PER WEAVING CHANNEL Air tanks built into the machine side frame: enables optimal setting by means of an electronic pressure regulator for each individual weaving channel. DEDICATED SLEY CAM VERSIONS Dedicated sley cam versions make it possible to weave the most demanding fabrics and yarns. Also available for larger-width applications, thanks to optimization of the available insertion time.

Proven Picanol design. Two solid side frames connected by large-section cross bars, with the sley driven at both sides by conjugated cams. This configuration offers the required machine stability and the highest beat-up force, making it possible to weave any kind of fabric successfully. FIXED AND MOVABLE MAIN NOZZLES The most efficient nozzles for all yarn types, adaptable with nozzle clamps for heavy stretching yarns. Jet funnel for guiding multiple channels into the reed tunnel. LET’S GROW YOUR MARKET 7

E-LENO Independent setting of crossing timing left to right. A guarantee of maximum flexibility in setting. Easy repositioning for flexibility in weaving widths. BUILT-IN PRESSURE SENSOR Indication of pressure levels throughout the machine.Machine behavior adjusted according to the air supply pressure. ELECTRONIC PRESSURE REGULATORS Significantly improved pressure build-off time in the main nozzles thanks to the new configuration of the air preparation. Result: reduced impact on the filling yarn, bringing a real advantage when handling delicate or weak yarns. UNIQUE TRIPLE AIR TANK CONFIGURATION...

SMARTARGUS Continuous monitoring of correct weft yarn number. Possible to check the position of the filling yarn in the reed channel at the end of insertion and make corrections. ELECTRONIC LENO SYSTEM (ELSY) With individual programming of the weaving pattern. Creating unlimited possibilities for weaving the fabric selvedge. TWIN STRETCH NOZZLE Add that extra stretch to prevent flip-backs throughout the fabric and increase productivity with kinky fabrics. Simple but universal mounting solution for a wide range of products.

UNIQUE PICANOL RELAY NOZZLE DESIGN Picanol has developed relay nozzles that offer an optimal performance/consumption ratio. One of the main reasons why air consumption is fully under control on the OMNIplus Summum. Different types of nozzles are available for a wide range of yarns. Multi-hole: offers the highest traction force and is the choice when no compromises can be made on the weaving speed. EcoOne: designed to achieve the best balance between speed, air consumption and maintenance, capable of weaving even under the most dusty and fluffy conditions.

SUMO MAIN MOTOR Fastest and most stable machine start-up. Reduced power consumption thanks to reduced drive train (fewer gears, less friction). Integrated machine concept fully synchronized with all the other electrically driven motors: Electronic Take-Up (ETU) and Let-Off (ELO). Common power supply: real-time speed adjustment and recuperation of braking energy.

ELECTRONIC PRESSURE REGULATORS Full control over pressure settings for main and relay nozzles. All settings can be optimized from the machine terminal. ARVD II PLUS Automatic optimization of relay nozzle blowing timings, saving up to 20% on air consumption.

Monitors and manages air consumption. Automatically checks the consumption of each individual insertion component by means of an automated diagnostic procedure. GET THE MOST # your ENERGY 13

PICANOL BLUEBOX SYSTEM Future-proof platform with optimal microprocessor speeds, increased memory capacity and modular circuit board setup. Network connectivity allows for remote monitoring and service. Picanol BlueBox is the electronic platform to keep up with increasing requirements for modern weaving mills and be ready for future developments. AUTOMATIC CROSSING MOMENT Direct, unique mechanical configuration – all machines have full pick finding as standard. The crossing timing of the shedding motion can be set from the machine display – no tools required! SPEED ADJUSTMENT Machine speeds can...

Unique! Great ease of setting and maintenance. Tucking-in no longer puts limitations on machine speeds, unlike mechanical tucking-in. (PRA II PLUS) In case of a machine stop (filling stop), the new PRA II Plus system automatically removes the filling from the shed and starts the machine again if conditions allow this. The new PRA II Plus system combines pneumatic and mechanical actions for removing the yarn, making it unique in its kind. A guarantee of the highest possible success rate and lowest load for the weavers! AUTOSPEED Adapts the machine speed to the behavior of the filling yarn. Information...
