eco-technology.

Moreover, Toyota will introduce a new spinning frame, which is possible to improve productivity and

energy-saving drastically while producing great characteristic yarn. The new spinning frame will be able

to propose Toyota’s future spinning technology.

In an ever-changing world, the needs of the weaving mills, as well as the expectations of the operators, are evolving rapidly. The increasing awareness regarding environmental topics, increasing costs and the availability of resources and skills, as well as the digital revolution, will push us in new directions.

For this reason, Picanol products are designed with a focus on four principles:

• Intuitive Control
• Driven by Data
• Sustainability Inside
• Smart Performance

As proof of our commitment to these four principles, we will present our latest developments in rapier and air-jet technology.

When it comes to rapier technology Picanol once again sets the benchmark in various aspects. We will deliver the proof, on a denim application, that a machine can be performant, versatile, sustainable, digital and user-friendly at the same time!

Our brand new air-jet machine, the OmniPlus-i, is, however, the première we reserved for ITMA 2019 Barcelona. OmniPlus-i is definitely the benchmark in air-jet weaving.

This further builds on the solid base of nearly 40 years of experience in air-jet weaving, during which over 100,000 air-jet machines have so far been shipped, OmniPlus-i is combining this extensive air-jet expertise with a clear vision of the future!

OmniPlus-i is featuring a redesigned reed motion, optimized relay nozzle set up and can be combined with SmartShed, the full electronic controlled shedding motion.

In total, Picanol will have 12 machines on display at ITMA Barcelona.
