VANDEWIELE, the expert in carpet weaving
With a long history of innovation and excellence, Vandewiele’s carpet machines have proven to be efficient and reliable, with state-of-the-art features that assure productivity, reduced costs, and higher quality carpets.
At the occasion of the ITMA 2023, Vandewiele presents three new carpet weaving machines.
First of all, the RCF carpet weaving machine with the digital “Fast Creel”, weaving at highest speed ever, up to 250 rpm. This machine also offers flexibility for quick color changes, economical (less machine standstill and plannable creel changes) and less waste yarn.
The three rapier cut-loop machine USF in Fast Creel solution has possibilities of alternative weave structures and perfect tension control in the loops. Carpet manufacturers can look forward to higher efficiency, unparalleled production, and improved sustainability.
In the segment of Handlook weaving machines, the new generation HCE3+ is equipped with the Vandewiele U4 jacquard machines, to apply highly productive three rapier weave structures and to make local flatweave effects, which reveals new possibilities in designing and writing text.
All weaving machines are characterized by the acronym ACES: Autonomous machines with sensors and analytical capabilities, Connected machines, Electrical motions instead of mechanical drives, and Smart machines that apply AI instead of operators (that can be experienced or inexperienced…).
BONAS, as the market leader, continues to build on the success of innovations in Jacquard technology. As markets are rapidly changing, future proof digital machines with maximum weaving design flexibility are paramount. The Bonas jacquard range, with up to 31.104 hooks in a single jacquard or 62.208 hooks when coupled, already dominates many markets in fashion, home, floor, and technical textiles. The most compact jacquard range available, with the least mass to drive, offers lower power consumption.
Low energy consumption, even for high-speed weaving, is additionally emphasized on the Si range. The Smart Drive is equipped with a unique feed forward system, predicting the design-related load so minimizing the overall power consumption.
Clear and reliable bi-directional data communication is made possible by the fast responding, easy to use Ce controller. Preventive Maintenance and Smart Energy Management, to name just a few features, are easily accessible. Remember that Bonas is the only jacquard supplier allowing 100% diagnostics of the selection system – the heart of jacquard weaving.
A total of 7 Bonas jacquard machines will be on display at ITMA. Come and meet us in Hall 10, booth 201 and enjoy the technology of the future!
Connectivity, reliability, maximum flexibility, high productivity, and efficiency – all available with the lowest total energy consumption. Why settle for less when you can weave with the best?

IRO-ROJ, Setting a new standard with GENERATION 4 yarn feeders
Presenting the new X4 Yarn feeders with” integrated accessory display”setting a new feeder standard. The current settings and any alarms can be easily monitored using the
integrated display – with any required changes being easily made using the adjustment knob.
X4 Yarn feeders
X4 feeders are available in three different versions – (i) with integrated Tension
Display (TED), (ii) with integrated Active Tension Control (ATC) and (iii) with Quick release.
TED – Tension Display makes it possible to reproduce weft tension settings from one machine to another. Enabling a fast start-up the next time the same article is woven. The position of the S-Flex Tensioner is constantly being monitored by an internal sensor – even if adjustment is made during power off.
With the ATC-W Active Tension Control the required tension is easily set and monitored on the integrated display. Once set, the system constantly regulates itself ensuring consistent yarn tension during the weaving process.
The yarn tension is constantly and accurately measured by the ATC sensor unit, sending a signal to the ATC operator unit resulting in consistently stable yarn tension at the required level. Quick release gives a quick and easy way to change the brush ring or tensioner.
