A New Mechanical Concept
Reduced Complexity
The Sultex A9500 Air Jet excels through its simplistic design.
ITEMA listened to the customers demand to deliver a simple,
user friendly machine without sacricing versatility, performance
or reliability.
The machine is robust and stable, operating with lowest
vibration pattern at high speeds in the market. The reed
and slay motion are precision balanced offering consistent
beat-up at the highest speed. The meticulous operation of
the shedding motion improves the life cycle for every single
part, plus accessories thus reducing maintenance cost while
increasing efciency.
Direct Hi Drive
The main drive of the A9500 Weaving Machine is based on
an electronic drive and brushless motor technology which
provides easy touch screen adjustment for machine speed.
Traditional gearing and mechanical parts have been minimized,
saving up to 20% in energy cost compared to its predecessors;
not to mention the added value of less spare parts and
maintenance.
Reduced Energy Consumption
To achieve the high speeds of the A9500, ITEMA engineered a
specialized lubrication system designed to assure lubrication to
the most vital elements of the machine. By design and through
extensive testing, the lubrication system signicantly reduces
energy consumption and extends the life cycle of mechanical
components.
If you are looking for price & performance, it would be a difcult
task to nd a more cost effective solution than the Sultex A9500
Air Jet Weaving Machine.

A Unique Shed Geometry
Optimized Shed Geometry
Distinguished from the competition and unique in concept, the
Sultex A9500 Air Jet Weaving Machine can be driven by a crank
or conjugated cams providing cost effective options to address
complex styling or maximum speeds. Referencing extensive
in-plant testing and R&D work at ITEMA, the A9500 shed
geometry illustrates the perfect combination of a long dwell
and stable motion of the harness frames to deliver the widest
weft insertion time while providing economic air consumption
and unsurpassed control of weft variation.
Less Air Consumption
Additional energy savings in air consumption are granted by
the high efciency nozzles working in combination with the
patented Real Time Controller. This active, real time feature
provides pick by pick analysis and control of air consumption
providing unparalleled economic use of compressed air.
Superior Fabric Quality
The innovative shed geometry, designed by Sultex, clearly
supports maximum weaving speeds and superior fabric quality.
Working in conjunction with the continuous monitoring of the
slay position by the machine PC, the shed geometry eliminates
start marks. Without question, the A9500 is strategically
designed to minimize off-quality fabric.
Wide Weaving Range
The Sultex A9500 is a versatile machine that offers a complete
range of key congurations for numerous applications; such
as
Nozzles: Efcient, High Air Flow or Patented, BLC
Nozzles for Stretch Yarns
Stretch Nozzles: for Full Width or Cut Reed Weaving
Selvedges: Independent Selvedge and Motorized Leno
Device, with Independent Drive
Panel Weaving: Center Independent Selvedge Device
for side by side Panels
Selvedge Tuckers: Side & Center Tuckers for Full Reed
or Cut Reed Weaving
Shedding: Dobby or Cam
Colors: 2, 4 or 6 Color Weft Insertion
The A9500 provides the solution to penetrate new markets
without sacricing quality, speed & efciency.

Full Color Touch Screen
The Sultex A9500 arrives with the latest in technology offering
a new electronic platform where the full color, touch screen
acts as the user interface. The intuitive software actually
encourages dialogue with weavers & technicians. Animated
machine symbols ensure a user-friendly experience by guiding
personnel to the information desired.
A New Electronic Platform
With a standard USB memory stick saving, changing or transferring machine settings has
never been easier.
State of the Art Technology
The machine utilizes State of the Art Microprocessor
Technology with a PC Board running Windows CE to drive
the user interface. Ethernet connectivity allows the A9500 to
quickly engage both the mill network and Internet.
Ready for the Future
At ITEMA, we recognize time is money. This is why we equipped
the Sultex A9500 with our best diagnostic software ever! By
simply accessing the touch screen, a functionality test can be
selected for any device or application on the machine even
circuit boards. Our Engineers specically designed this feature
to be utilized without tools or a background in electronics but
by the people on the oor who operate the machine.
Loom Browser
Just install the Loom Browser on the PC of your choice to
monitor efciency, change & download machine settings,
create or download new weft and dobby patterns. Merely click
on the machine of your choice within the machine layout to
gain access to all machine information as if you were standing
at the machine itself.
Remote Diagnostics
With the constant connection of the A9500 to the mill network,
use of the Remote Software Service is just a click away. If you
need support, simply connect via internet to ITEMAs World
Wide Service Network for prompt diagnostic assistance.
Diagnostic information of customer weft settings via use of the Remote Software Service
on a PC at an ITEMA Technical Support Ofce.
