Picanol weaving machines for technical fabrics For over 80 years already, Picanol develops, produces and markets high-tech weaving machines. Picanol has always set the standards in the main-stream weaving markets, by combining speed and versatility with excellent...

Create the right amount of tension for your Heavy fabrics using S-tube Control the beat-up-line with the Picanol Full width temple The S-tube backrest is designed to be able to add enough tension when weaving Heavy fabrics. The tension is adjusted by creating friction between warp-ends and a large diameter tube locked in a fixed position. The Picanol Full width temple is fully interchangeable with roller temples. Especially on Heavy fabrics, a Full width temple can be useful for reducing beat-up on the fell-of-the-cloth. Improved take-up for Heavy and Wide fabrics In order to increase the...

A proven configuration for weaving tapes LGL Tecnico prewinders equipped with Attivo output brakes are ideal for weaving tapes on wide machines. The braking force is programmable and the brake itself is predominantly self-cleaning. Achieve low and constant warptension over the full width Thanks to very low inertia, the Direct Warp-Control backrest is ideal for weaving non-elastic yarns, s.a. fibreglass and Para-aramids since very low warp-tensions can be reached. This device is also the standard for very wide machines, as this execution can be mounted directly on the machine frame and there...

Eliminate left-hand side waste EcoFill was introduced with the main focus on applications where high value weft yarns are used. Building further on the experience with this system, EcoFill is now further developed to be used up to 4 colors. Obtain low weft tensions using programmable brakes Using programmable weft brakes, TEC allows one to weave with very low static tension at the exit of the prewinders. TEC decreases the brakeforce when the yarns are traveling at high speeds. This is thanks to a fast-reacting brake shoe. The control of TEC is fully digital through the display. Achieve low...

Maximum performance for each application Whether you are looking for high speed, ultimate versatility or dedicated technical applications, the OptiMax-i Connect can be equipped with the most suitable rapier system. Minimize the length of the right-hand side weft waste Improved control of weft length is assured by positive opening of the right-hand side gripper with the ERGO (Electronic Right Gripper Opener). ERGO allows individual setting through the display of the gripper opening timing per weft channel. Most robust High-speed leno system The Optileno system has been designed to cope with...

Weft knots automatically extracted during weaving Optimum filling detection for all kinds of filament wefts PKE (Picanol Knot Extractor) detects the position of knots in the weft yarn, whether from a bobbin change or indeed all weft knots. This safeguards fabric quality and maximizes productivity as the machine continues to weave while the knot is removed. The Argus optical filling detector for cut reed execution is best-suited for fine up to coarse filament wefts. The wide detection-zone assures secure detection under all circumstances. The stability needed to optimize air consumption With...

Auto-tabby weaving made easy The programming of the Auto-tabby sequence has been made very easy thanks to the use of comprehensive alphanumeric designation of sub-patterns. Weaving from creel made easy Thanks to Picanol’s combination of false beam arrangement and the drawing-in section, weaving from creel is now fully integrated. Tire cord Reach high speeds, even with tucked selvedges Picanol’s air tucker is compatible with both cut and continuous reed executions. Air tuckers can be a value-adding replacement for mechanical tuckers in applications where higher machine speeds can be...

Built in the factory of the future Training is part of the deal Picanol makes with its customers Well-trained employees are a real asset to your company. Skilled staff make your machines run at optimum performance, producing excellent fabric quality and resulting in superb plant efficiency. We feel it is our duty to help your employees to improve their skills and knowledge. Hence, in 2015 we decided to invest in a state-of-the-art Technical Training Center in Ypres. Three fully equipped rooms (each with weaving machines, cut models, mini workshop etc.) cover a total area of 270 m2. This new...
