Just-in-time requirements and cost reduction have become absolutely imperative in the tire cord weaving business. Margins for error are smaller than ever before. Operators are therefore looking for dependability and performance in their equipment. The OmniPlus-i TC Connect weaving machine has an integrated design of mechanical and electronic components, engineered and produced at Picanol and based on its latest OmniPlus-i TC Connect airjet weaving technology. OmniPlus-i TC Connect sets an example of ergonomics design. It is extremely easy to operate, has dedicated functionalities eliminating all possible errors, and requires only a very strict minimum of maintenance. The Sumo direct-drive technology in the weaving machine, drawing-in unit and batching motion make for very low power consumption. In addition to in-house training, Picanol also offers training on a fully operational OmniPlus-i TC Connect machine in Belgium.
