A high-performance prewinder
The OMNIjet machine is equipped with the OMNIjet WD (Wobbling Disc) prewinder, which is uniquely designed for airjet weaving and has a wide application range. The major parameters are automatically set and the piezo bobbin break sensor prevents fabric defects and offers direct start-up possibilities at bobbin run out. The prewinder is simple to handle and maintain, and can easily be threaded through a pneumatic system.

State-of-the-art nozzles
The fixed and movable main nozzles have a high traction force, resulting in fast insertion rates with low air consumption. They can be set individually in flow or blow duration. Threading up is very easy.

A stretching nozzle at the right-hand side can keep the filling tip fully extended until it is caught by the closing shed, thus preventing the formation of loops.

Optimized sley movement
The sley movement has been optimized for maximum insertion time, thus reducing the number of weft stops.

Digitally controlled valves and cutter
The electromagnetic valves ensure perfect control of the airflow in the shed. The opening and closing times are monitored by the OMNIjet's microprocessor. The microprocessor also controls the filling cutter and makes it possible to set the cutting times separately for each filling channel – a great advantage over mechanical systems.

Optical filling detector
The optical filling detector, mounted in front of the reed, stops the machine whenever the filling fails to reach the right-hand side of the machine. A second detector may be used to check whether the pick is broken in the shed or blown apart.
