Machines

Modern Looms
Modern looms still weave by repeating in sequence the operations of shedding, picking, and beating in,
but within that framework there has been considerable development during the 20th century. Several
new types of loom have come into industrial use, whereas older types have been refined and their scope
extended. Two main influences have been the rising cost of labour and the increasing use of man-made
continuous-filament yarns.

Main Features of Projectile Loom:

1.The picking are projectile receiving units are separated from the moving sley. The sley carries the reed & gripper guides.
2.The gripper projectile made of fine steel, 90 mm long 14mm wide and 6 mm thickness weight is 40 g. It carries the weft
thread into the warp shed.
3.The weft is drawn directly from a large stationary cross wound package. There is no weft winding.

Features of Rapier Loom:

1.An useful feature of rigid rapiers is that they can be simultaneously inserted in two sheds one above the other,
for producing double plush and certain carpets.
2.Rapier loom may have various types according to the weft insertion mechanism & number of pick such as
insertion of double pick, insertion of single pick, two phase rapier etc.
3.In all rapier looms to-and-fro-movement of the rapiers is derived initially either from a linkage mechanism or
from a cam.
4.The rigid rapier is driven from the centre and has a rapier head at each
5.In gabler system of weft insertion the rapier system is combined with air jetpicking
system.

Features of Air Jet Loom:

1.Air jet weaving machine is high speed machine having good quality
2.For instance on a weaving machine having a speed of 600 rpm the weaving cycle is 100m/s.
3.Cam control valves have the advantages of high speed precision of action whilst the electrically controlled solenoid valves
permit easy setting.
4.Finer count of yarn is used as the weft thread to produce fency type of fabric.

Scope of Water Jet Loom:

Weft and warp yarn must be insensitive .i.e hydrophobic in nature.
Weaving of the water attractive fabric is not possible by the water jet loom,
Thermoplastic yarns offer the advantages of severance of weft by a heated blade and the provision
of a heat selvedge by fusing.
It has required miniature pump to feed water under pressure to the nozzle

Features of Multiphase Loom:

1.A multi-phase loom with magnetic shuttle features that the spiral reed blade with shuttle path is used for
beating-up.
2.The linear motor is used for wefting, the heald wheel or electromagnetically excited heald needle is used for
opening, and the weft opening with off-line multi-path asynchronous weft replenishing is used.
3.Its advantages include high efficiency, high speed and low weaving cost.
4.The multiphase loom can form many different sheds at different places, thereby enabling insertion of number
of filling yarns, one behind the other.

Weft Insertion Rates of Different Type of Looms:

Loom
Conventional Powerloom
High Speed Automatic Loom
Rapier Loom
Projectile Loom
Air Jet Loom
Multiphase Loom

Weft Insertion Rate

200 Mts / Min
300 - 400 Mts / Min
1000 - 1400 Mts / Min
1200 - 1500 Mts / Min
1500 - 2000 Mts / Min
5000 Mts / Min

Today the market particularly demands wide variety as much as possible at the lowest possible cost.
