Based on reliable and user-friendly electronic and mechanical platforms, and providing excellent ease-of-use, UniRap clearly provides valuable benefits in terms of versatility, performances, and reliability. The insertion cycle is electronically driven, including the weft clamping settings, and the flexible electronic architecture offers real-time management of the on-board automated devices.

Designed as an open platform, UniRap comes to the market in a double version specifically developed for technical textiles weaving:

  • The UniRap | P Weft Insertion System enables the effective insertion of carbon tapes and tape shaped yarns with no torsion up to 30mm
  • The UniRap | G Weft Insertion System is ideal to weave the widest range of technical yarns

What makes the two versions even more interesting is the possibility to switch the two weft transfers easily and quickly, thus providing weavers with two weft insertion technologies in one.

1 The UniRap P Weft Insertion System

The UniRap | P Rapier enables the effective insertion of carbon tapes and tape shaped yarns with no torsion:

  • up to 25 mm as standard
  • up to 30 mm on special request

2 Positive Weft Transfer

The monorapier positive weft transfer enables the possibility to weave the widest range of flat yarns, such as carbon tape, polypropylene tape, thermoplastic composite with glass fiber, and many others.

3 Exclusive P-Cut Weft Cutter

The unique P-Cut Weft Cutter features an exclusive design and a rotary blade. The P-Cut allows a perfect cutting and, due to its closeness to the weft cutting point, it ensures reduced waste selvedge formation.

4 The Itema Shed Geometry

With a Deroulé System with double accumulation buffer and Zero Twist version for maximum textile performance, it ensures:

  • excellent fabric quality due to reduced stress on weft yarns
  • the best performance speed on the market

5 Back-Rest Roller with High Compensation Bar

The high compensation bar configured on the back-rest roller ensures maximum stability and textile efficiency.

RELIABLE PERFORMANCE
6 Wide Weaving Variations Range

UniRap features an exclusive tape drive system providing a wide weaving variations range: width reduction from 500mm and up to 1150mm.

7 Direct Drive Technology

The motor is based on an electronic drive technology which provides easy machine speed adjustment through the machine console, thus ensuring reduced maintenance and consumption, and maximum user-friendliness thanks to enhanced textile settings possibilities.

8 Armotion Independent Motor for the Shedding Machine

Thanks to Armotion, the second motor for the dobby, the set-up of the shed closing timing is electronically adjustable directly from the machine console and machine’s vibrations are significantly reduced, providing time saving and enhanced textile efficiency.

EASE OF USE
9 Powerful Electronic Platform

Reliable and flexible, the electronic platform is based on an open architecture, thus allowing to manage in real-time all the machines parameters and the electronic devices equipped on the machine.

10 Interactive Machine Control

The full colour touch-screen console represents the user interface, ensuring remote machine control and access to machine data through network connection.

11 Protective Case for Electrical Cabinet

When weaving carbon, the protective case for the electrical cabinet offers protection against wear and damage of electronics.
