A High Performance Weaving Machine
Consistent Performance
As with previous Silver models, the Silver 501 uses the
distinguished Propeller Drive for movement of the rapier. With
the market demanding higher speeds and complex styling, the
consistent and smooth stroke provided by the propeller drive is
more essential than ever before. Through new manufacturing
methods and increasing metal hardness, our Engineers were
able to improve drive capacity, yielding higher machine speeds
while minimizing vibration. Even under the most difficult textile
conditions, 700 picks per minute can be achieved with good
efficiency and fabric quality.
Low Vibration Pattern
The Silver 501 presents a very low vibration pattern. In addition
to a solid drive, the machine is engineered with extensive control
of the moving masses to reduce vibration. As such, the Silver
501 easily handles the demands of heavy-weight styling while
reducing cost through less maintenance and spare parts.
Sound Structure
And the Silver 501 Engineers didn’t stopwith the drive &machine
frame; they completed the effort with a re-designed slay and
complete new back rest module. The new slay design opens
the door to speed & versatility. The new back rest “module”
compliments the enhancements by reducing warp tension and
promoting a clean shed break with each pick thrown.
