BENEFITS

Benefits

Free flight ribbons system and optimized shed geometry ensure top fabric quality by avoiding marks, warp yarn wear from friction between hooks and yarns
New direct drive and short kinematic arrangement ensures low vibration and noise
Warp let-off, electronic take-up, and main direct drive are simultaneously controlled to ensure maximum accuracy
Excellent and stable fabric quality for whatever yarn count and pattern type
New, efficient lubrication system with forced oil circulation guarantees low energy dissipation in mechanisms, avoiding the adoption of additional oil cooling systems; extended lubricant life time reduces maintenance costs
New shed-crossing phase setting from touch screen terminal shortens set-up and start-up times considerably
