Highest Efficiency - Best Price / Performance
Performance
The R880 is the result of the long standing experience in the
design of rapier weaving machines. The unique rapier drive
system is based on the proven Propeller. Further improvements
increased the output of the R880. Very strong steel side frames
combined with rigid and sturdy cross members result in a high
machine stability and low vibrations.
Itema Hi Drive
The new electronic Itema Hi Drive system is fitted on the R880.
Based on the optimized use of the brushless servo motors,
it guarantees potentiality and efficiency beyond comparison.
Main advantages are:
• simplified mechanics thanks to the elimination of the
brake/clutch unit
• superior fabric quality thanks to the motor’s high
pick-up during restart
• freely programmable speed variation ensuring an effective
machine management
The unique and proven propeller system guarantees highest performance.
Rapiers
The compact dimensions and small cross section of the R880
rapier heads, the optimized guiding elements over the full width
of the machine and strong rapier tapes made from carbon
assure an optimal performance at high weaving speeds.
Special clamps in the rapier heads ensure the insertion of a
wide range of cotton and filament yarns.
Precise rapier heads insert a broad range of weft yarns.
Style changes
On the R880 style changes and warp changes are easy and
quick. The easy to open spring locks facilitate rapid changes
of the warp beam and cloth roller without the use of any
tool. Quick warp changes are made easy because the warp
beam gear wheel remains on the weaving machine. For
symmetrical width adjustments, setting of the temples and
the selvedge cutters very little effort is involved and few tools
are required.
Handling and maintenance
The R880 weaving machine has a low maintenance
concept. The efficient forced lubricating system makes all
gear transmissions virtually maintenance free. Thanks to the
low number of moving parts the R880 excels in low energy
consumption. There are few wear and tear parts and the
reduced consumption of spare parts allows a low cost of
ownership.
