Never beore has any weaving machine been somodular in design. In the new OptiMax concept,each machine is based on a common platormdesigned to accommodate uture extensions orconversions. This modularity saeguards yourinvestment: no other weaving machine is soeasy to adapt in order to take advantage o newmarket opportunities.
Optimized shed geometryIn developing the OptiMax special attention was paid
to the shed geometry. The short stroke o the sley and
the rames and the redesigned rapier heads, allowthe machine to weave with smaller shed opening. Lessstress is put on the warp ends, resulting in increased
warp riendliness especially in case o flament weaving.The optimized shed geometry leads to uniorm abric
characteristics over the whole width. The location o thesley cams below the abric allows heavier beat-up orces,
so abrics with real high cover actors can be woven withease.
OptiMax can be ftted with a Guided Gripper system or
maximum speeds or a Free Flight system or maximumversatility. Both systems are interchangeable.
Guided Gripper systemThe Guided Gripper system (GC) is the standard solutionor spun yarns. The rapier tape o the newly designed
light-weight Guided Gripper system is perectly guided byone-piece hooks. Together with the small shed and small
rapier head, industrial speeds are obtained that werenever reached beore. The stroke o the guiding hooks
through the lower shed has been optimized or extremewarp riendliness, widening the feld o application in
flament weaving.
Free Flight systemThe Free Flight system (FF) is specially designed orweaving delicate abrics, providing maximum warp
riendliness and flling versatility. Free Flight meansthat the rapier tape is no longer guided by hooks, so
the yarns cannot be damaged by hooks diving into thewarp yarns. The machine has a covered raceboard or
gentle treatment o flament warp yarns, as used ore.g. upholstery weaving, or the rapier is guided by
supporting hooks, as used or e.g. wool or worstedweaving. The stability o the Free Flight rapier head is
assured by an enlarged tape.
Quick Step illing presenter or up to -colorinsertionThe wet presenter is ully modular, allowing you to startwith e.g. 4-color insertion and to add more channels
depending on your needs. OptiMax is available with upto 12-color insertion (specially or necktie, upholstery
and label weaving). The color and weave pattern arecontrolled by microprocessor or jacquard.
Finally, the Quick Step modules are interchangeable, and
there are no mechanical drives, so no maintenance orlubrication is required.

Exchangeable shed ormationThe OptiMax can be ftted with a positive cam motion,electronic positive dobby or electronically driven jacquard.
The basic machine structure or the cam, dobby and jacquard versions is identical, making it possible to
change the shed ormation system at any time in theuture.
OptiLenoBased on an entirely new uture-oriented concept, theOptiMax also oers the possibility to produce leno abrics
without the need or a superstructure or leno heddles.
With the OptiLeno module (patented), it is possible notonly to obtain abrics with S-crossing or Z-crossing othe leno ends, but also to obtain alternatingly S- and Z-
crossing in the same abric, giving an additional specialeect to the design. Even a combination o stripes o leno
and plain weave is possible.
Superstructure-readyIn line with the common platorm philosophy, the
OptiMax is ready to have a superstructure mounted onit. The mountings are identical in all cases, making it
possible to decide at some time in the uture to add e.g. aancy beam or jacquarette.
Fancy beamThe ancy beam is an additional warp beam with aseparate let-o motion. The beam can be top-mounted
or mounted in line (behind the machine on a separatecreel or integrated in the machine rame). The system
is mainly used or warp ends that give a certain aspectto the abric, e.g. seersucker, and which have a dierent
tension and/or a dierent woven length compared to theground beam, e.g. upholstery or ties.
Electronic Right-hand Gripper OpenerImproved control o the wet insertion is aorded by thepositive opening o the right-hand traction-gripper with
the Electronic Right-hand Gripper Opener (ERGO) system.This allows individual setting o the moment o opening
according to each type o wet inserted. Both the lengtho the wet tail can be adjusted and the degree o opening
o the right-hand gripper during the release o the wet.
TuckersThe OptiMax can be equipped either with a versatile
mechanical tucker or with an air tucker, both designed
or high speeds, in line with the high industrial speeds othe machine. Moreover, changing rom a leno selvedgeto tucker or vice versa is easy and quick with repeatable
settings.

The mechanical components and advancedelectronics o the OptiMax are designed oroptimum abric quality and minimum waste.
Rigid constructionThe OptiMax has two cast-iron side rames connectedby sturdy cross-members. This robust rame and the
perect balancing o the mechanical parts eliminate allvibration, enabling the machine to work continuously
at high industrial speeds in all weaving widths whilemaintaining permanent stability.
High-tech reed drive or powerul beat-upThe sley is driven by 2 sets o conjugated cams with camollowers below the abric, with continuous high pressure
lubrication rom the central lubrication system. A thirdsley cam unit is mounted in case o very wide weaving.
The reed holder itsel is made o light alloy with greatstiness. The sley with its reed holder is perectly
balanced by means o counterweights and provides apowerul beat-up over the whole weaving width. This
results in uniorm abric characteristics over the wholewidth and makes it possible to weave heavier abrics.
Quick Step illing presenter or low illingtensionThe Quick Step flling presenter operates with independent
modules, each consisting o an electronically controlledstepper motor with a presenter needle. Ater the let
gripper has taken the presented yarn, the Quick Stepneedle returns to an intermediary position, so the course
o the flling yarn is straight and the tension o the yarn islow and remains constant (patented).
At a flling break the needle is presented automatically
in the most convenient position or re-threading, thussaving time or the weaver.
The Electronic Disc Cutter cuts every flling yarn always
at the right moment, while clamping the flling.
Programmable Filling TensionerEach prewinder can be equipped with a ProgrammableFilling Tensioner (PFL-TEC). This PFL-TEC (patented) is
microprocessor-controlled and ensures optimum yarntension during the complete insertion cycle. The tension
control makes it possible to weave strong or weakyarns at even higher speeds. It also drastically reduces
the amount o flling stops, and enables you to set anindividual waste length per channel.
Electronic Selvedge SystemThe unique Electronic Selvedge System (ELSY patented)
ull leno selvedge motions are electrically driven byindividual stepper motors. They are mounted in ront othe harnesses, so that all the harnesses remain available
or the abric pattern. The selvedge crossing and patternare programmed on the microprocessor independently o
the shed crossing, even while the machine is in operation,so the result o a resetting can be checked immediately.
Electronic Take-Up and Let-OThe electronically controlled Take-Up (ETU) and Let-O(ELO) are ftted as standard on OptiMax. A heavy duty ETU
motor is optional or heavy abrics.

Energy saving technologies have been deve-loped and implemented on the OptiMax,taking into account the rules and regulationsconcerning the environment. The OptiMax isequipped as standard with the energy-efcientSumo motor.
Consuming less energy with the Sumo mainmotorThe oil-cooled Sumo main motor drives the weavingmachine directly, without belt or clutch and brake. The
combination o the highly energy-efcient Sumo motor
with the direct drive (patented) o the main shat andshedding motion results in power savings o morethan 10% in comparison with conventional clutch and
brake confgurations. Moreover, the energy cost or airconditioning is also reduced as the Sumo motor dissipates
less heat in the weaving mill.
The speed o the motor is controlled electronically, withouta requency converter, thus reducing power consumption
and permitting greater exibility. The very short drivetrain is simple and compact, and the machine is up to ull
speed right rom the very frst pick.
Removing heat with water cooling system(patented)Fast running machines generate more heat than theirslower predecessors. The consequences o this are
particularly important in regions with a hot climate. As theweaveroom temperature rises, it gets harder to maintain
the required air humidity at weaving machine level.Another consequence is that the sides o the warp tend
to dry out because o heat radiation rom mechanisms inthe machine rames. With the water cooling option, hal
o the thermal load produced by the weaving machineis extracted rom inside the machine. In this way, a
new air-conditioning installation can be kept small andenergy efcient, or an existing installation could still be
compatible with high-speed weaving on OptiMax.

The OptiMax weaving machine is based on anentirely new concept, as a uture-orientedplatorm whose components are designed orhigher operating speeds and top productivity.
Unique Sumo main motor system (patented)itted as standardWith the Sumo motor it is possible to continuously adaptthe machine speed pick by pick to match the strength o
the flling yarn. This combination o the Sumo motor withelectronic settings makes it easy to obtain the highest
possible industrial speeds, taking into account the yarn
quality, number o harnesses and weaving pattern, andconsiderably reduces the set-up times.
Style changes in a minimum o timePicanol has included many unique eatures on the
OptiMax to keep machine downtimes ultra-short. Theyinclude the Picanol Quick Style Change system, the quick
harness connections, the roll-away flling creel, the hand-operated quick snap locks or warp beam and cloth rolls,
and the use o the microprocessor or modiying crossingtime settings or selvedges and shed. These all increase
the time available or what OptiMax is meant or in thefrst place: producing quality cloth at high speeds.
Fast width changes
Special attention has been paid to ast width changes,which may be either symmetrical or asymmetrical. All
the components to be moved on the let and on theright are mounted on a single support whose position
can be easily varied. Sotware-assisted procedures areavailable in case the transer position o the rapiers is
to be modifed. The cylinder temples on top o the abrichold the cloth at ull width and are easy to set. For special
abrics, ull-width temples can be ftted.
Electronic setting o shed crossingA maximum number o settings can be carried out onthe microprocessor. The electronic setting o the closed
shed position (AKM) a unique Picanol eature allowsthe weaver to control the aspect and hand o the abric
without even touching the drive train o or instance thedobby. A ew simple keystrokes on the display are all it
takes to let OptiMax reset its crossing point. The crossingtime not only inuences the abric quality, it also has an
impact on stop fgures.
Quick Style Change
The Quick Style Change (QSC) system (patented) enablesa style change to be carried out by a single person in lessthan 30 minutes. The style change is done by replacing
the entire rear part o the split rame, with the warp beam,backrest and support, warp stop motion, harnesses and
reed. All the settings involved in preparing the article onthe warp side are done beore the style change, outside
the weaveroom. The quick and easy adjustment o thebackrest board (patented) is also unique.

Automatic ull pickindingThe machine has an automatic ull pickfnder drivenby the Sumo main motor. In case o a broken pick the
machine stops and only the harness rames are broughtin motion automatically so as to ree the broken pick,
without the reed touching the beat-up line.
Prewinder Switch-OThe OptiMax has a piezoelectric flling detector that stops
the machine in case o a flling break. With its optionalPrewinder Switch-O (PSO) system, the machine carries
on weaving even i a flling break occurs on the bobbin
creel or one o the prewinders.
Optimized harness rames and connectionsThe harness rames, connections and guides (DRC-2 andDRC-30) have been designed or weaving at high speeds.
With the harness connection no manipulations have tobe carried out under the abric line when connecting the
rames to the drive system in a single movement, and theunique harness height adjustment is done entirely at the
top o the harness rames (patented).
Easy warp gaiting and cloth doingThe warp beam is driven by an electronically controlledlet-o system via a separate gearwheel that remains onthe machine. Fitting the warp beam and changing the
cloth roll are done by means o quick connections: notools are required.
Picanol Batching MotionThe Picanol Batching Motion (PBM) systems have beendesigned or economical production o large cloth rolls.
They ensure excellent abric rolls and their operation issimple and efcient, with protection against too low or
too high tension.
Perect lubricationLubrication is by means o a central oil circulation
system controlled by pressure, temperature and fltercontamination sensors. Constant and adequate fltering
o the oil ensures perect lubrication. Bearings or the
beat-up shat are part o the orced oil lubrication circuitand are thus maintenance ree.

With the OptiMax, we have created thepossibilities that weavers need to deploy andrealize their utmost creativity. The machine isexceptionally ergonomic and oers immediatecontrol o all possible settings or optimumabric quality.
An ergonomic machineThe OptiMax weaving machine is unusually low at the
ront. The slight slope provides very easy access or theweaver. The pushbuttons are conveniently located, and
all main settings are carried out above the abric line.
The flling area is easily accessible rom all sides, andall prewinders can be reached rom the ront. The
shed opening and the height o the harness ramesare adjusted rom the outside, with easy accessibility,
because the shedding motion stands ree at the right-hand side and is not obstructed by the package creel or
prewinders. Connecting the harness rames to the drivesystem is done in a single movement, thanks to the quick
connections (DRC-2 and DRC-30).
Maximum controlAll the machine unctions are controlled by the micro-processor. Using the sel-explanatory menus on thedisplay, the operator can start the machine and carry out
fne adjustments easily.
Mechanical settings have wherever possible beenreplaced with electronic ones. The electronic settings
have several advantages: they are very accurate, canbe checked directly, and are easy to transer rom one
machine to another.
The microprocessor records, analyses and stores allthe production data. The weaving machine itsel can be
linked to a central monitoring system (or example asintegrated in LoomGate) by an Ethernet or bidirectional
connection.
Interactive touchscreenAs an alternative to the keyboard display there is alsoan interactive touchscreen, which has the advantage
that several article settings can be stored locally on thedisplay. A transponder card gives immediate access to
the machine settings, which can be transerred rom thedisplay to a computer or vice versa using USB memory
sticks.
Picanol PC SuitePicanol PC Suite is a collection o PC sotware applica-
tions.
LoomGate makes it possible to communicate betweenthe PC and the weaving machines over the network. Using
LoomGate, machine settings are transerred rom the PCto the machines and vice versa, the weaving machine can
be updated with new sotware, or the current settingsand operating parameters o the weaving machines
can be consulted. LoomGate also includes a monitoringunction to consult and process machine data and shit
production data on the PC.
Picanol Pattern Editoris used to create new designs onthe PC, or transer to the weaving machines. PicanolStyle Administration is used to prepare settings whilethe weaving machine is running another style. EasyStyle
helps to select the optimum machine settings: itgenerates the best settings or the specifc style chosen,
based on Picanols broad weaving experience. OptiStyleprovides on-loom tools to improve efciency or quality
in a ast, interactive way: just enter the problem andcorrective measures are suggested, taking into account
the actual machine settings and specifcations.
