▪ Denim
▪ Terry towels
▪ Technical textiles
Technicalspecifications:
▪ Width: 170 - 380 cm
▪ Suitable for dobbyand jacquard
▪ Suitable for a wide range of yarn
▪ Weftselection:8 - 12 colours
▪ Quick style change
▪ 2SAVE – false selvedge saving mechanism
on both sides
High speed,shuttle-less rapier loom with free-flightrapier
ribbon movement,which exchanges the weft at the centre.
This enables the 2FAST to operate atthe weft insertion
speed ofup to 1650 m/min, depending on the style and
machine width.

3. SMIT 2FAST rapier weaving machine – features
New slay cam motion, built into the
machine structure - new cam design and
dimensions; stiffer follower wheels and shaft.
Results in:
▪ High production speed without torsional
vibrations and with effective reed motion
control for a very soft weft beat-up
High response brushless motor
and reinforced main shaft
Results in:
▪ The highest starting acceleration and
100% beating efficiency at first pick
insertion (no starting marks)
▪ Maximum torque available for the
heaviest shedding requirements
High speed dobby models for all
fabric types
▪ New dobby support design ensures
high precision in alignment with tie
rods, prevents any shedding
vibrations
New dobby drive ensures
high torque transmission,
motion stability, and silent
operation
New reinforced let-off
gearbox with Quick-Beam
connection
▪ Ground single beams (with
flange diameter of 800, 1000, or
1100 mm)
New material for lateral ribbon
guides
▪ Reduces friction
▪ New design ensures long
ribbon life
New cloth roller drive
with lateral guides makes
the weaver operation
easier and quicker
New Stäubli shedding motion, with
new lateral connections helps ensure
stable motion of the heald frames

4. SMIT 2FAST rapier weaving machine – features
New electronic control:
▪ Versatile architecture with easy to
expand functionalities
▪ Optimal temperature control
New interactive and user-friendly
interface:
▪ Colour touch-screen display, with all
functions for easy set-up and
programming
New back-rest control:
▪ New layout of load cell results in the highest warp tension stability
▪ New back-rest elastic recall system, prevents resonance effect
▪ Standard warp deviation roller results in even tension from full to
empty beam
New reinforced take-up gearbox with
cylinder of increased diameter:
▪ High fabric grip
▪ Prevents stop and start marks
New pre-load fabric pressure rollers:
▪ Avoids slippage of any type of fabric
and when changing the cloth roller
New Leno-Force:
▪ Enables programming of
false selvedge and leno yarn
crossing, pick-by pick,
independently for each side
▪ Maximum efficacy in
controlling of weft stretch
New forced oil circulation:
▪ Guarantees lowest energy
dissipation in the
mechanisms
▪ Additional oil cooling
equipment for critical
environmental conditions
(optional)

5. SMIT 2FAST rapier weaving machine – benefits (contd.)
▪ New Stäubli dobbywith long life of
healds and frame, increases
weaving performance
▪ New Leno-Force system:Suitable
for applications with high yarn tension.
No need of extra frames forselvedge
formation. Easy to digitally set any weave
pattern
▪ New software-controlled E-Cut which
ensures high insertion regularity for weft
(flat, staple, fine and coarse,fancy yarns
etc.)
▪ New take-up control; reproducibleweft
density pattern, prevents start marks with
dynamic cloth fell correctionin
combinationwith empty pick start; no
change gears necessary
▪ Better fabric quality
▪ Easy to operate with interactive interface

6. SMIT 2FAST rapier weaving machine – benefits
▪ Robustand compactdesign;
frame stiffness+20% leads to long
machine life and lowest spare
parts consumption
▪ Balance shaft for stable running:
Minimises torsional loads during
machine start and stop
▪ New patented grippers:Flexibility
to process differentyarn types efficiently
▪ Free flight ribbons system without
ribbon guide hooks, ensures a ‘clean
shed'
▪ New optimised shed geometry
ensures perfectfabric construction, high
efficiencyand production
▪ Energy efficient,thanks to high
efficiencybrushless motor,forced
oil circulation, and short
mechanical transmission
