Picanol promoted the flexible use of OptiMax rapier machine with a modular design. This means that functional groups on the machine are strictly separate, electrically and mechanically. One functional group can be swapped for another without having to drill holes or rewire the machine. For the weaver this makes it easy to change functional groups, for example from dobby to jacquard or from single beam to split beam. Such changes may be necessary to cope with sudden changes in demand.
For high-speed leno weaving the OptiMax weaving machine can be equipped with an Optileno module, the company observes. To convert it to e.g. cambox operation, the module as a whole is removed and can be stored for later use. The conversion takes about four hours. The same time is needed to put the Optileno module back into operation, according to Picanol.
Picanol delivered the first modular Optileno installation for fine E-glass styling, ranging from 34 to 300 Tex. The module can be stored with the warp ends still drawn in the module for faster start-ups.
