iCARE, part of the iBOOSTER package, is a future oriented system which - thanks to an advanced sensors mechanism - monitors in real-time the state of health of the Itema tapes and
sprocket wheels suggesting possible adjustments or interventions through the machine latest generation console.
The film could then be moved by means of perforations along the sides over
sprocket wheels, which could push the film in front of a flashing light at a carefully regulated speed.
Last but not least, Lamiflex - the leading supplier of technical composite products of which Itema acquired majority stakes in 2017 - will be present at ITMA (Hall 4 - C106) with its ample catalogue of key rapier weft transfer components available for a wide range of rapier machines on the market, such as tapes and
sprocket wheels, with an offering that allows the weavers to find in a unique partner the best European quality and sector know-how with the advantage of a competitive offering.
In Hall 3 - Booth E9, Lamiflex representatives will be on hand to demonstrate the comprehensive portfolio of original flexible rapier tapes,
sprocket wheels and other accessories on the market.
