•Here “α” between 22° to 26° used for filament yarn

•28° to 34° angle used for spun yarn weaving.
SHEDDING
HEALD FRAME HEIGHT
The optimal height setting depends on a number of factors:
 The article type
 The weave
 The machine speed (rpm).
SUGGESTED HEALD FRAME HEIGHT
ELSY (FOR SELVEDGE)
Stands for Electronic
Leno Selvedge System
 Don’t need any extra heald
frame to make selvedge.
 Laws of motion can be
changed without hampering
the fabric quality.
 Shed crossing can be set as
required.
 Selvedge weave can be
inputted differently.

PICKING
The pre-winder contains the following
components:
 The motor and control unit
 The drum with 7 independently
adjustable fingers
 The magnetic winding blocking
unit for controlling the filling
length
 The yarn-supply sensor
 The positioning sensor
 The winding sensor
 The bobbin break sensor
 PFT used to stretch the floating
filling inside the shed.

the nozzles)
RELAY VALVE AND NOZZLE
Relay valve With 3 Relay Nozzles Relay Nozzle
POSITION OF RELAY NOZZLE
 Set the relay nozzles as high as
possible to clear the relay nozzle
openings earlier when entering the
shed, and keeping them clear longer
when leaving the shed.
 This allows for the relay nozzles to
blow longer, maintaining the
stretched filling.
 The more the relay nozzle is turned
towards the reed, the higher the yarn
flight in the insertion channel.
 The height of the relay nozzle is
critical, If it is low, the flight if the filling
will be low, if the height is very high it
will leave nozzle mark on fabric.
PRESSURE REGULATOR
PICKING
Air Pressure:
 Main line pressure
 7 to 9 Bar Required
 Main valve pressure
 Up to 6 Bar
 Auxiliary valve pressure
 5 to 6 Bar (Fixed)
 Left relay valve pressure
 Up to 5.5 Bar (Depends on Weft yarn Count & M/C RPM)
 Right Relay valve pressure
 Up to 0.5 Bar more than left relay valve pressure
FILLING CUTTER
 Filling cutter cut the
yarn after each filling
and start a new filling
insertion cycle
 Generally at 10°

LET-OFF
Keywords: ELO, Servo Motor, Load Cell,
 LET OFF
 Let off is done electrically.
 An electric motor is used to perform this
action.
 Let off motion is very important to maintain
accurate warp tension
 Speed of let off motor gradually increases
with the decrease of beam dia.
