OptiMax Flexible Rapier Machine OMNIp/us SummumAirjet Machine AIRBAG, INCLUDING ONE-PIECE-WOVEN CUSHIONS Depending on the application, OptiMax rapier or OMNIp/usSummum airjets can be offered. Both types of machines are also suitable for One Piece Woven Cushions woven under Jacquard. Free Flight rapiers have an advantage in that the warps do not necessarily need to be sized. Also, the denser types of constructions can be achieved more easily on OptiMax, without sacrificing much speed. Both machine types work with reinforced backrest and reinforced cloth take-up as typical warp tensions might...

COATING FABRICS TIRE CORD When weft variety allows it, car seats are best woven on the high-speed OMNIplus Summum. Thanks to the deployment of hybrid harness frames allowing top speeds on heavy dobby patterns maximum production speeds can be reached. In case of texturized weft yarns that can deposit spin finish or oligomers, OptiMax rapier machines are recommended. Where a broad range of fancier weft materials – such as flock yarns, chenilles or monofils – need to be processed, OptiMax rapiers will perform at highest efficiencies and high speeds. Picanol offers its high-speed Free Flight...

HIGH-SPEED LENO WEAVING, OPTILENO GAUZE, FLOCKING BACKING, INDUSTRIAL GLASS FIBER OSNABURG OR TAPE BACKING Picanol offers OMNIp/usSummum airjets for these types of fabric. Very high speeds can be attained through the use of positive cam boxes. The profiled reed does not need to be cut to length thanks to the weft detector in front of the reed. In this way several widths of fabric can be processed without having to change the reed. The automatic pick remover (PRA) enables the machine to reach very high efficiency. Arrangements are available for elastic yarns, as well as to obtain special...

LET’S GROW TOGETHER WITH THE GUIDED POSITIVE GRIPPER ON PICANOL’S OPTIMAX MACHINES! The highly successful OptiMax rapier platform is designed to deal with all markets and in particular the technical fabrics segment. It is therefore equipped with multiple sley drives, positioned over the width of the fabric in order to maintain a strong and stable beat-up, independent of drawing-in width. At ITMA Barcelona two new features where added to capture an even larger share of the industrial fabrics market: an increased range of widths up to 540 cm, and a unique Guided Positive Gripper (GPG),...

An arrangement for weaving from creels can be offered, including weaver platform. The weft insertion has been adapted to accommodate waxed yarns. The prewinders are therefore given a special geometry, complemented by programmable brakes. The result is a constant and low weft tension. When single-pick fabrics are being woven, an ECOFILL weft waste saver can be used, reducing the waste length by more than 5 cm and leaving just a short weft waste at the right hand side. When ECOFILL is not used, the machine is equipped with a secure EDC rotary cutter. Both are interchangeable. LIGHT...
