Modularity is a keystone in their design: they all have the same basic platform, for all types of shed formation, whether for different edge bindings, multi-beam weaving, weaving flat or leno... It is even possible to change from cambox to dobby or to jacquard. In short, if the market changes, the weaving machines simply change with it.
Picanol weaving machines feature complete control of the insertion cycle from beginning to end. They continuously treat the filling yarn under optimum conditions, combining highest yield with minimum waste. That is how Picanol customers get the most out of the material. Picanol machines optimize energy consumption and keep it as low as possible.
Their Sumo main motor with direct drive is highly energy-efficient. The machines optimize the weaving process, achieve the highest running speeds and their downtime is exceptionally low. The Quick Style Change system is still unique to Picanol. Its customers get the most out of their time.
The digital settings on the weaving machines make it very easy to fine-tune the weaving process. Technology does not stand in the way of talent.
