Benefits of ‘Rapier AWT-250’ over conventional Power-Looms:
Conventional Power-Loom Rapier AWT-250
55-65% Efficiency 85-95% Efficiency
Max. 110 RPM (eff. 70 RPM due to lower efficiency) Max. 220 RPM (eff. 200 RPM due to Higer Efficiency)
Lower Output per shift Upto 2.5 times more output per shift
Lower Output per operator Upto 2.5 times more output per operator
High Labor requirement Low labor requirement
‘Kandi / Shuttle / Pirn-Winder’ machine & operator required Shuttleless (No Kandi, No Pirn, No Pirn Machine Operator)
High Maintenance because of extremely high vibration Extremely LOW vibration, hence lower maintenance
Higher & Faster Wear-n-Tear of components Lower vibration leads to better & longer life
Light-Weight leading to shorter life and higher vibrations Heavy-Duty Structure to reduce vibration thus leading to longer life
Lower Output per unit area of floor space 3 times more output per unit area of floor space
High Production Cost
Due to lower labor productivity and lower efficiencies and higher costs per meter of fabric.
Lower Production Cost
Due to lower labor and lower area and lower power requirement per meter of fabric.
 
Speed
With speeds upto 220 RPM (actual), AWT-250 is the fastest rapier available today in the market. Coupled with high efficiencies of upto 95%, this machine gives upto 3 times more productivity than the conventional powerlooms.

Versatility
Staying true to the philosophy of ‘Rapier’, AWT-250 offers unparalleled versatility when it comes to yarns. From the finest counts of cotton to the thickest Industrial yarns, AWT-250 can handle anything thrown at its negative rapier head. The soft-pick gear system enables smooth transition of even highly fancy yarns like embroidery and slub. What really seperates AWT-250’s mechanism from others is that it has been well proven to run even the SILK yarns very smoothly. The kinds of fabrics that can be woven on AWT-250 includes:
• Suitings, Shirtings, Sarees & Dress-Materials (Count: 12-120’s , Denier: 20-500)
• Industrial fabrics: (Tirecord, Bolting Cloth, Denier: 400-1600)
• Fancy fabrics: (With Slub Yarns, Embroidery Yarns, etc.)
• Silk Fabrics

8 Color Weft Insertion
AWT-250 offers upto 8 Color Pick-at-Will weft insertion, so that you can weave the fanciest of fabrics to be offered to your customers. Such versatility can set you apart from rest of the competition in your market. The pick-at-will system is computerised and microprocessor controlled, hence letting you programm sequences of more than 1,00,000 picks. Such technological edge will definitely give you an edge in the market.

Start-Mark Prevention System
AWT-250 realises the most delicate need of rapier users to prevent start-marks in weaving. The custom designed ‘HT-Drive’ motor of the machine supplies more than 150% torque for the first-pick to successfully prevent the start marks.

Lower per meter Costs
Considering 3 times more productivity with same space and even lesser amount of man power along with lower power consumption, it is quite obvious that AWT-250 can offer you lower production costs compared to conventional power-looms or even auto-shuttle change looms. Moreover continuous weft-insertion eliminates the need for investing in pirn-winding machines or even extra operators.

Lower Maintenance
Sturdy frame structure of AWT-250 compared to any other competitor offers much lower vibrations on the machine. Due to lower vibrations, there’s less wear-n-tear of rotating components and bearings resulting in lower maintenance costs. Also, centralised lubrication offered on the looms gives a single-point lubrication for the complete machine, thus further reducing the headaches of maintenance.

Shedding
Adding to the flexibility of AWT-150, the user can easily add and attach any of the shedding motions available in the market including:
• Dobby
• Jacquard
• Cam Shedding
         - Positive Cam: for Heavy plain fabrics (bolting cloth, tirecord cloth etc.)
         - Negative Cam: for light sensitive fabrics

Take-Up
Universal 7-wheel Wretchet-n-Pawl semi-positive take-up is the most widely used and well established Take-Up system offered in rapiers around the world. The well designed take-up is capable of handling a weft-density of 4-120 picks/Inch.

Let-Off
The capability of AWT-250 to weave any and all kinds of fabrics has been created due to 3 different let-off options available with the machine depending on your fabric.

Negative Let-Off: A well accepted option for weaving very low density fabrics with extremely low counts of high deniers. Specially suited for Industrial fabrics.

Semi-Positive Let-Off: The most widely used let-off in the industry today especially for weaving highly delicate yarns like Silk, Bumberg, Viscose and finer counts of cotton.

Ruti-Type: For weavers of regular cotton-fabrics who’ve been used to highly versatile Ruti-Type let-off.

Microprocessor Controller
The heart of the complete control system, this microprocessor is one of the most powerful control systems offered today for crank-type rapier machines. The system can be programmed to output any kinds of pick programmes. The standard functions incllude:
• Constant monitoring of weft and warp yarn for breakages
• Cloth Length Counter
• Pick-programming
• Weft-Controller
• And many optional features like Electronic let-off etc.
