The document describes the Van de Wiele MAX 91 Axminster weaving machine. Some key points: 1) The MAX 91 was the first machine designed specifically for high-speed Axminster carpet weaving. 2) It has a robust frame and servomotors that allow for quick cutting motions and slower return motions to reduce heat. 3) The machine can weave area rugs with a hand-knotted look using a patented two-shot weave structure through the back of the rug.

3. The Master in Axminster MAX91 is the first
machine in history completely designed and
developed for weaving Axminster carpets at a
high speed.

The MAX91 has a stable basic machine with a
robust ground frame.

The knife bit carriers are driven by a
servomotor programmed for a quick motion
during cutting and with a slow return motion to
reduce the temperature.

4. 


Area rugs woven with a patented 2-shot through
the back give a hand-knotted look
The MAX91 can weave names and logos
Pile yarns, even of different thicknesses are easily
woven by the patented MAX gripper.

5. The MAX91 can weave a broad range of carpet
qualities in pitch 7 DPI with up to 16 colour frames
without incorporated pile yarns.

6. Patented pile gripper without pivot and bearing , suitable for
gripping thick & thin pile yarns in the same carpet permitting new
carpet design possibilities.

7. Carriers individually driven, non reset system for 16
colour frames at high speed.

8. The Human Machine Interface touch screen controller
used for We@velink production planning.

9. Axminster rugs with
relief or high/low
effects with cut pile &
chenille fillings in
different areas.

10. Axminster carpet

colours with invisible
warp yarns & no
incorporated pile.

11. Automated bobbin creel, taking A robot fills a matrix of cells
yarn from big bobbins or a hank. with pile yarn.
The yarn tail in the cell is automatically spliced to the next yarn to be
wound in.

12. The winding process pushes
the stored coil forward along
the cell
The quantity of yarn in the
cells is adapted to the design.

13. BENEFITS;
Bobbin
winding, creeling, bobbi .
n stripping and rewinding are eliminated.
Loom down time
during pattern change
is reduced. One carpet
can be woven while the
next carpet is being
creeled.
Measured winding
reduces the yarn waste.
Less space required.
