Raschel Machine Designed for Six-Beam Warp Efficiency

July 21, 2025

In the world of textile manufacturing, efficiency and adaptability are everything. The Raschel machine, known for its durability and flexibility, continues to evolve to meet the complex needs of fabric producers. Among the latest advancements, the integration of a six-warp beam support system stands out as a game-changing feature – especially for those working across diverse fabric types and production scales.

At Grand Star, we design every machine with real-world usage in mind. The RSJC 5/2 Raschel machine is built to not only keep up with modern textile demands but also offer users the room to create, experiment, and expand. This article takes a closer look at how six-beam support makes a difference and why manufacturers around the world are embracing this powerful setup.

Built for Bigger Ideas

When designing intricate or layered fabrics, limited warp beam capacity can slow down production or restrict design options. That’s why the RSJC 5/2 was engineered to accommodate up to six warp beam positions. Whether you’re working with sectional beams of 21 or 32 inches, this configuration provides the flexibility you need for complex and creative fabric structures.

From our experience, manufacturers working with Jacquard patterns, multi-layered textiles, or mesh designs benefit significantly from multiple beam inputs. Each beam can supply a different yarn type, allowing simultaneous feeding and precise control over fabric composition. The result is a smoother workflow, with less downtime for beam changes and more room to innovate.

Some real-world advantages include:

✅Blending decorative and structural yarns with ease

✅Supporting advanced Jacquard designs with multiple ground structures

✅Saving production time by reducing manual beam switching

Rather than forcing production to fit the machine, this Raschel machine adapts to your workflow – an essential feature for today’s dynamic textile markets.

Smart Engineering Meets Practical Use

While the six-warp beam system is impressive on its own, it’s just one part of what makes the RSJC 5/2 Raschel machine a top performer in the textile industry. At Grand Star, we don’t believe in building machines that only “run.” We design systems that think with you, adapt to your needs, and improve the way you work.

That’s why we developed and integrated the GrandStar® Command System – a sophisticated operator interface that allows for complete control over every electronic function in real time. Whether you’re adjusting the drive settings before launch or making quick tension changes mid-run, the interface responds instantly, helping reduce downtime and improve consistency across batches. 

But great control is only part of the picture. The RSJC 5/2 also delivers unmatched knitting precision and mechanical stability, thanks to its robust design and advanced component integration:

• Individual needle bar and tongue bar mechanisms enable smoother, more accurate control of the knitting process, especially for complex patterns or high-speed runs.
• The machine’s high-capacity take-up system includes four precision-aligned rollers and supports fabric batching up to 1270mm (50 inches) in diameter, reducing the need for frequent unloading.
• A powerful electronic guide bar drive (EL) allows shogging up to 150mm in wider models, opening up a broader range of design possibilities.
• Powering all of this is a 7.5 KW electrical system, operating at a stable three-phase input of 380V ±10%, ensuring efficiency even under demanding conditions.

All this technology is backed by a meticulously engineered top combing section – with a stitch comb bar, knockover comb bar, and multiple guide bars – providing precise yarn handling and long-term reliability. In short, this Raschel machine combines smart control with rock-solid performance.

Beyond the Machine

No matter how advanced a machine is, the real question is: can it keep up with your goals?

That’s why we offer installation, training, and long-term support that matches the quality of our hardware. Our technical teams operate in over 20 countries, offering:
