Optimized Shed Geometry

In developing the OptiMax special attention was paid to the shed geometry. The short stroke of the sley and the frames and the redesigned rapier heads, allow the machine to weave with smaller shed opening. Less stress is put on the warp ends, resulting in increased warp friendliness especially in case of filament weaving. The optimized shed geometry leads to uniform fabric characteristics over the whole width. The location of the sley cams below the fabric allows heavier beat-up forces, so fabrics with real high cover factors can be woven with ease.
