The Panter Rapier Loom is best suited for weaving of Shirting fabrics from dyed yarns, as the very low warp sheet opening of 44 to 52 mm in the first healdframe (25 to 30 mm in the reed)  helps in lowering the stress on the warp sheet.

The 8 / 12 colour weft insertion system also helps in changing the articles/sorts for short test runs or for producing quick samples.

Loom speeds of upto 550 rpm in a 190 cm E58 Negative Rapier model are easily possible, while in the Twin clamping Rapier mode, a higher speed upto 580 rpm is also possible.

For weaving of extremely delicate weft yarns, one can also opt for Positive Rapier system for Wool / Linen and maintain top speeds upto 480 rpm in 190 cm mode.

Cramming / Freinging,  capability to run the loom electronically in a single fabric/article with

• 8 different Loom speeds as per weft yarn limitations(set electronically),
  
• set 8 different pick densities and warp beam tensions 

all aid in the forming of the finest quality of shirtings.
