Loom
Weaving is the most comprehensive area of textile fabric production. Its process requires quite a number of individual motions that must be performed with extreme speed, which need to be properly
synchronized.
Although part of these motions, e.g. of the weaving reed or often also the filling application, are derived from the motion of the main shaft via cams,
electronically controlled axes with Motion Control
re increasingly used, e. g. for warp let-off and fabric take-off. The
integration of technological functions
with the control platform allows for shortest response times, improving the technological process. A system of function blocks forms the basis of a
modular machine control platform
creating a wide variety of possible combinations of loom automation.
Solutions for looms are characterized by:
- High productivity
through extremely fast, synchronized individual motions and
through high fabric web speeds
- Cost-effectiveness
through short changeover and setup times
- Flexibility
through a Motion Control system
