Both let-off and take-up have a continuous control system (not on/off) to fully assure the cloth requirements. The electronic link between let-off and take-up is an additional tool for the weaver to manage stop/start fabric marks.
Based on experience built up over many decades
Picanol's thorough knowledge of weaving technology and of the global textile market have enabled it to develop and produce an airjet weaving machine that provides the perfect balance between price and performance. The machine offers all main features of the Picanol technology such as full electronic monitoring and microprocessor-controlled filling insertion. As a result, the OMNIjet weaving machine is certain to meet the investors' objective of maximizing their return on investment.
Modular concept
In designing the OMNIjet machine, a lot of attention was paid to minimum initial investment cost. The modular concept is a built-in flexibility that allows adaptations. As an example: deciding for an crank motion today still leaves the possibility to modify the machine to a cam- or dobby-motion in the future.
Consuming less air
The OMNIjet machine consumes less air than its competitors. Highly effective main nozzles, yarn friendly relay nozzles, valves directly mounted on the air-tank, optimum sley motion, … they all contribute to a reduced pressure drop in the air distribution system.
Adaptive Relay Valve Drive (ARVD)
The unique ARVD-system is a further development that automatically adapts the relay nozzle timings throughout the insertion, making use of the advanced integrated electronic controls. This results in an absolute minimization of the air consumption.
