Omnipoint

Omnipoint is a variation of the tufting technique of manufacturing carpets/ rugs.

The machine used, consists of two needles that can be shifted horizontally to form zig zag tufted rows which eliminate undesirable tuft rowing. This leads to a formation of a consolidated designs. The first needle bar, having a straight yarn feed, tufts the basic field. The second bar actually sews the pattern directly into the basic field.

An infinite variety of pile heights can be obtained by using a photoelectric scanning system that controls the thrust of the tufting needles.
