Picanol To Unveil Innovative Rapier Machine At ITMA
The world’s leading manufacturer of weaving machines and Belgium based Picanol, will unveil its innovative and latest Rapier weaving machine at ITMA in Hall 6, Stall B201.
Picanol will have 12 machines on display, while the centerpiece will be the world premiere of the all-new and revolutionary Rapier weaving machine, the Ultimax, which will be made available from first quarter of 2024.
In addition to six Rapier weaving machines, there will also be four Airjet weaving machines featuring new developments.
Furthermore, a Rapier machine in Jacquard execution will be on display at the Bonas booth and an Airjet machine in Jacquard execution will be presented at the Stäubli booth.
“Picanol has sold more than 130,000 Rapier machines worldwide since the launch of our first Rapier weaving machine, and we have challenged ourselves to further improve our current and highly successful OptiMax-i Connect Rapier platform,” Johan Verstraete, Vice President Weaving Machines said.
“The result is the brand-new Ultimax Rapier weaving machine that focuses on three main benefits: ultimate performance and high-quality output, readiness for the sustainability requirements of tomorrow, and the greatest ease of use thanks to a maximum level of digitization,” he added.
At ITMA 2023, Picanol will also show a speed increase on its Airjet platform, the OmniPlus-i Connect. Also on display for the very first time will be a brand-new Leno system, the o-Leno, which combines smart performance, user-friendliness, and intuitive control at its best.
With PicConnect, Picanol is centralising its digital tools and services in one new fully digital platform. At ITMA 2023, visitors will be able to discover all the benefits and latest features of PicConnect to leverage the full extent of the possibilities offered by its Picanol weaving machines.
