The Picanol QSC system offers huge advantages: the downtime on the weaving machine is much shorter, fewer personnel are needed in the weaveroom, and there is far greater flexibility for weaving different articles.
Highest fabric quality immediately, thanks to quick and easy settings
The mechanical components combined with the advanced electronics of the OMNIplus 800 are largely responsible for the higher fabric quality. Whereas in the past weavers used to forego some of the finer settings necessary for higher quality, because they were too time-consuming and labor-intensive, these can now be carried out quickly and easily.
Thanks to the electronic controls, adjusting the machine settings for higher fabric quality is now an easy matter, and can even be done while the machine is running. In addition to the many diagnosis screens, the terminal screen gives the weaver access to a whole series of preprogrammed values for shed formation, insertion, pick density and warp tension.
For example, the crossing time can be set automatically, and the machine speed can be adjusted or programmed for optimum fabric quality, with immediately visible results. The Ethernet connection enables the machine to be integrated into the corporate network, opening the door to Internet applications.
Full modularity, for a bolt-on future
Never before has any weaving machine had such a modular design. In the new OMNIplus 800 concept, the machine itselfe results. The Ethernet connection enables the machine to be integrated into the corporate network, opening the door to Internet applications.
