The all-new, revolutionary Ultimax rapier weaving machine  

Picanol’s all-new and revolutionary rapier weaving machine, the Ultimax, 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 digitalization. In addition, the  classic Picanol exterior design of the machine has been radically disrupted in order to make it clear from  the outside just how revolutionary the Ultimax is on the inside. The Ultimax excels in the fields of  performance and quality, it has been designed with sustainability as the baseline, and the high degree  of digitization results in a previously unseen ease of use. 

OptiMax-i Connect rapier weaving machine 

The predecessor of the Ultimax, the OptiMax-i Connect rapier weaving machine remains available for  specific applications for weaving technical textiles, up to 540 cm. 

OmniPlus-i Connect airjet weaving machine 

Picanol recently launched a speed increase on its airjet platform, the OmniPlus-i Connect. This is another  example of how Picanol sets the benchmark in the industry. With the brand-new leno system, the o-Leno,  smart performance, user-friendliness, and intuitive control are combined optimally. Picanol also offers a  dedicated version of this airjet machine for tire cord applications, the OmniPlus-i TC Connect
