Supermax rapier weaving machine

When designing the new Supermax rapier machine, we focused on the following three aspects:

  • Maximum performance and high-quality output
  • Readiness for the sustainability requirements of tomorrow
  • The greatest ease of use, thanks to a maximum level of digitization


This means that Supermax is - more than ever - a machine developed by design with our four design principles in mind: Sustainability Inside, Driven by Data, Smart Performance, and Intuitive Control. Thanks to the high level of digitization and enabled by our digital platform PicConnect, the monitoring of both individual machines, as well as the entire weaving mill, will become much easier than before and will give you unprecedented control.

Smart Performance

Performance is the first requirement for any machine or feature. The obvious indicator for this is the theoretical maximum speed. Very often, however, the gap between this theoretical speed and the effective speed under real-life conditions is huge.
That’s why we design our machines around the principle of Smart Performance: intelligent machine design, which enables the highest possible practical speed and best performance under all conditions.

Sustainability Inside

When it comes to preventing waste and reducing energy consumption, for many years Picanol has faced up to its responsibilities. Our machines are designed with a built-in capacity for sustainability: energy efficiency and smart use of resources are at the heart of all our platforms.

Driven by Data

Digitization has become increasingly important over the last few decades and this will continue to be the case. All kinds of machine and contextual data have to be captured and made available for artificial intelligence, making production more efficient. Enabled by our digital platform PicConnect, we are at the forefront of digitization, offering you the smartest way to manage your weaving machines.

Intuitive Control

Children nowadays handle new technology effortlessly and intuitively. And that’s what we want for our machines as well. Just like with your smartphone or in your car, the interactive machine display is the interface that controls almost all the machine functions. This user-centric approach is also embedded in the design of the overall machine, making all operations easy, intuitive, and self-explanatory.
