Automatic recalculation of insertion parameters
When the speed of the main motor changes, the microprocessor automatically recalculates the electronic insertion parameters – another example of how OMNIjet makes life easier for the machine operator. The parameters can easily be viewed on the microprocessor display.

Save and transfer settings in no time
All electronic settings can be easily reproduced or transferred from other OMNIjet machines, either by means of electronic memory cards or through a network connection: patterns, warp tension, pick density etc..

Efficient stop motions
The OMNIjet machine has an electric warp stop motion with up to 6 bars with a 30 mm (1.2”) pitch. A dropper location lever helps the operator to locate the warp break quickly.

The filling stop motion consists of an optical filling detector mounted in front of the reed (no cutting of the reed).

Central lubrication
The Electronic Take-Up (ETU), the Electronic Let-Off (ELO) and the sley are fed with oil under pressure from a central forced lubrication system controlled by the microprocessor. A microfine oil filter removes all impurities and extends the lifetime of the parts and the oil.

Robust mechanics
The OMNIjet machine is built around two cast iron side frames connected by very sturdy cross-members. This rigid structure and the perfect balancing of the mechanical parts eliminate all vibration, enabling the machine to produce high-quality fabrics at high industrial speeds continuously. The crank-driven sley motion with long stroke, the extra reinforced central 4-bar-linkage drive and the balanced sley guarantee stable beat-up, thus optimizing cloth quality.
