R880DT Rapier Weaving Machine

With our R880DT-DynaTerry, weaving quality terry

cloth has never been so easy.
This loom combines great value for money with excellent quality
and mass production, offering superior performance and low-cost
operations, coupled with low running costs, low consumption and
low yarn preparation costs. Prots are guaranteed and special
quality is assured, thanks to our advanced rapier machine technology. In fact, R880DT allows our Customers to produce a wide
range of terry cloth of the highest possible quality guaranteed in
any condition. The redesigned propeller is the heart of the weft
insertion system, with new technological processes that allow less
friction, higher speed and lower consumption. And, with the reliable weft transfer EK, there is virtually no limit to the range of terry
fabrics our R880DT can weave.
Now, its your turn to weave the softest, most luxurious and
delicate terry cloth on the market with our R880DT.

A Unique Redesigned Propeller

High Precision Warp Feed Control

An Excellent Loop Formation

R880DT stands for efciency and versatility. Its vocation is weaving high quality
terry cloth at exceptional speed and with
maximum stability and precision.

The R880DT now offers the undeniable

advantages of signicant new technological improvements, to allow a wider
range of terry cloth production and highest quality in all conditions.

The temple supports are tted on mobile

slides, timed with the movement of the
fabric, to aid the formation of the loop.
This system facilitates the loop formation, avoiding damages due to stretching
and ensuring a constant quality across
the full width of the fabric.

The redesigned propeller, a unique mechanism, is the hub of the weft insertion system, with absolute dimensional precision
now possible due to the new technological processes that guarantee less friction,
higher speed and lower consumption.
The highest productivity is furthermore assured by the outstanding sturdiness and
stability of the machine, a result of the
increased structural robustness and the
perfection of our rapier movements.

The Reliable Weft Transfer EK

With the new transfer EK guide hooks
and the reliable dedicated sley, the rapier tapes are now offered maximum
protection against wear. The end result
is a higher level of performance for longer
and ability to produce even the heaviest
fabrics at higher speed.
The timely and accurate lubrication guarantees total reliability and increases the
mechanical efciency of the single components, with the great advantage of requiring just a minimal maintenance.

One of these improvements, the warp

feed control system, guarantees maximum regularity of the loop. Thanks to the
special geometry and reduced inertia,
the new tensioner pile roller with its load
cell guarantees a direct and repeatable
reading of the warp tension.
The resulting extreme sensibility of the
system guarantees ultra dynamic variations in tension to suit the warp movement, guiding it in perfect time with the
reed beat-up during the loop formation.

An effective drop-wire lifting system during the loop formation reduces the rubbing of the warp threads, improving the
overall performance of the machine and
guaranteeing a perfect loop with constant height.

Superior performance and protability

An Effective Back Rest Roller

Low Cost Operations Assured

Sensitivity, softness and extreme precision are the features of the back-rest
roller that exploits the precision of the
load cell reading system to minimize the
stress on the yarn, a crucial aspect to reduce breakage rates.

The loop warp geometry is studied to

ensure the highest approachability, while
the simplicity and compactness of the
tensioner pile roller allows easy use for
the operator, both in style changes and
adjustments and in the ordinary operations to repair broken threads. The result
is a reduced down time, which means
lower workloads and greater efciency.

The Unique Weft Insertion System

and Optimized Shed Geometry
Every component of the weft insertion
system has been optimized, beginning
from the weft color selector, with its
new high performance motors to adapt
the weft presentation thread by thread,
passing from the precision of the cutting
system, that guarantees a high and constant efcient insertion, and culminating
in the rapiers, which ensure top reliability and extraordinary versatility. The optimized shed geometry is a warranty for
fabric quality, providing gentle terry reed
impact and an exceptional low warp end
break level combined with extraordinary
lling insertion consistency.

The Whole Machine

At Your Fingertips
R880DT comes with a console with full
color display, which is the terminal to
manage all looms functions: a real control center for the weaver and the maintenance technician, ensuring an easier
and more efcient management of the
machine.

User Friendly Weft Selector

Endless Creative Possibilities

Technology for creativity

A Powerful Machine Control

System
The global redesign of the electronic
control platform, based on the powerful
Canbus system, allowed to improve the
plant to reach an excellent control and
management of the individual electronic
devices. The new software allows to improve the automation level of the loom,
for even faster and easier adjustments
and enhanced overall applications and
performances.

User Friendly Weft Selector

The weft selector, up to 8 colors, is managed to allow the weaver to choose the
best presentation movement for each nger directly from the keyboard, adapting
it to all weft types. This system optimizes
the delicate weft selection phase, ensuring greater softness and a lower loom
stop rate.
The tuck-in devices have a special oscillating temple system, patented by
Itema, which guarantees the maximum
quality and the top precision in all situations, ensuring unparalleled quality of the
selvedge.

Endless Creative Possibilities

With R880DT, there are no limits to creativity offering you the chance to design
and produce never seen before fabrics,
which exalt the originality of the terry
cloth made with different height loops.
The loop formation system, entirely electronically driven, permits to change the
height of the loop by simply setting the
onboard keyboard and is coupled with
the VRT electronic control device, available as optional, that allows to set different weft ratios. Its production range includes hand and bath towels, as well as
terry cloth for leisure, sport, beach and
swimwear.
