Weaving Picanol

OptiMax 4-R 190 – denim

A 10oz denim style with corespunfilling yarn is woven on this advancedrapier weaving machine with Guided

Gripper system (GC), which is thestandard solution for spun yarns. Therapier tape of the light-weight GC systemis perfectly guided by one-piece hooks.This weaving machine runs at industrialspeeds that were never reached before.

The Electronic Disc Cutter (EDC) cutsthe filling yarn while clamping the filling.The machine is executed with a splitframe – ready for the Picanol Quick StyleChange system. The quick harnessconnections, the roll-away filling creel,the hand-operated quick snap locks forwarp beam and cloth rolls, and amicroprocessor for modifying crossingtime settings for selvedges and shed areall standard on the Picanol OptiMaxlooms keeping machine downtimes to aminimum.
