SPARE PARTS
Use of original Picanol parts guarantees a continued high performance of the Picanol weaving machines.
The Industries division covers all the other activities not related
to weaving machines. Proferro represents the groups metal
casting and mechanical finishing activities. It produces cast
iron parts for among other things compressors and agricultural
machinery, as well as parts for Picanol weaving machines.
PsiControl for its part develops and produces custom-made
controllers, Human Machine Interface (HMI) and touch devices.
Finally, Melotte develops and manufactures innovative product
solutions using 3D printing.
Since 2013 the Picanol Group has also had a leading stake in
the Tessenderlo Group (TESB).

ELECTRONIC RIGHT-HAND
GRIPPER OPENER (ERGO)
possible to change the shed formation system at any time in the future.
OPTILENO
OptiLeno offers the possibility to produce leno
fabrics without superstructure or leno heddles.
With the OptiLeno module (patented), it is not
only possible to obtain fabrics with S-crossing
or Z-crossing of leno ends, but also to obtain
alternating S- and Z-crossing in the same fabric.
SUPERSTRUCTURE
READY
Ready to mount a superstructure,
making it possible to add
e.g. a jacquarette or fancy beam
(additional top-mounted warp beam
with separate let-off motion).
TUCKERS
The OptiMax-i can be equipped
either with versatile mechanical
tucker or with air tucker. Changing
from leno selvedge to tucked
selvedge or vice-versa is easy and
quick with repeatable settings.

FILLING CUTTER
The Electronic Disc Cutter (EDC)
cuts every filling yarn always at the
QUICK STEP
FILLING PRESENTER
The Quick Step operates with independent modules, each consisting of
an electronically controlled stepper motor with presenter needle. After
the left gripper has taken the presented yarn, the Quick Step needle
returns to an intermediate position. At filling break, the needle is presented
automatically in the most convenient position for re-threading, thus saving
time for weavers.
The color and weave pattern are controlled by microprocessor or jacquard.
The Quick Step modules have no mechanical drives, so no maintenance or
lubrication is required.
FILLING DETECTOR
The revolutionary SmartEye is a filling
detector allowing individual detection and
sensitivity setting per channel.

ELECTRONIC SETTING OF
SHED CROSSING (AKM)
The crossing timing of the shedding motion can be set from
the machine display no tools required! A unique Picanol
feature that allows
the weaver to easily
control the aspect
and feel of the fabric.
PREWINDER
SWITCH-OFF (PSO)
The piezoelectric filling detector stops the
machine in case of a filling break. With its
Prewinder Switch-Off system, the machine
carries on weaving even if a filling break occurs
on the bobbin creel or one of the prewinders.

PICANOL PC SUITE
Picanol PC Suite is a collection of PC software
applications. LoomGate makes it possible to
communicate between PC and weaving machines over
the network. Picanol Pattern Editor is used to create
new designs on PC, for transfer to weaving machines.
Picanol Style Administration is used to prepare settings
while the weaving machine is running another style.
EasyStyle helps to select optimum machine settings.
OptiStyle provides on-loom tools to improve efficiency
or quality in a fast, interactive way.
