- Title
Picanol: new air-jet weaving machine.
- Abstract
This article features the air-jet weaving machine OMNIplus 800 developed by Ieper, Belgium-based Picanol Group. The OMNIplus 800 allows higher performance, immediate fabric quality and full modularity. By making the insertion con shorter and more slender, the load on the weft yarn has been reduced, thus permitting higher speeds. At the same time an entirely new 16-hole relay nozzle has been developed. The frame of the OMNIplus 800 and all the moving parts are perfectly balanced and robustly built to permit even higher machine speeds. The OMNIplus 800 has many features for minimizing non-productive time. Thanks to the electronic controls, adjusting the machine settings for higher fabric quality is now an easy matter and can even be done while the machine is running. In the new OMNIplus 800 concept, the machine itself is a basic platform designed to receive all sorts of future extensions and adaptations.
