    Techno-Economics of Shuttle Less Looms

    Shuttleless looms were developed to meet growing production demands. They have higher operating speeds than shuttle looms, allowing for higher production. They require less energy for weft insertion and can weave fabrics with more colors and designs. Key technologies include weft carriers instead of shuttles, matched cam beat up mechanisms, electronic let-off and take-up systems, and quick style change capabilities. Shuttleless looms can produce at rates of 1100-3230 picks per minute, significantly higher than shuttle looms.

    Techno-Economics of Shuttleless

    Introduction

    The Shuttleless looms came in to existence as a result of the


    growing production demands. The shuttleless Looms apart from
    their high Speed weaving abilities are also ahead of their shuttle
    counterparts in various other aspects.
    This is the reason which makes them more suitable as present
    day weaving machines.

    11/02/2021 2
    Advantages of Shuttleless looms over
    Predecessors

     Higher operating speed resulting in higher production.


     Less picking energy is required.
     More colours in weft direction.
     Higher design capabilities.
     Wider width fabrics can be woven.

    The Technology of Shuttleless Looms

    These looms are different in the picking , beat up, let-off and
    take-up mechanism.
    Also these looms are equipped with the QSC systems , ESLY
    Motions, electronic controls and microprocessor devices which
    make them an entirely different and more productive machine.

    11/02/2021 4
    The Filling Insertion Technique
    Instead of a heavy shuttle these looms use
    comparatively lighter weft carriers.
    The advantages are:

    • Higher weft insertion rates and loom speeds


    • Lesser vibrations and higher stability
    • More production
    • Lesser power requirements

    The Beat Up Mechanism

    These machines use a matched cam Beat Up Mechanism. The


    sley is driven by a set of complementary cams with cam followers
    on both sides of the machine. The reed holder is made of light
    alloy with great stiffness. The sley with its reed holder is perfectly
    balanced by means of counter weights and provides a powerful
    beat-up over the whole weaving width, without any vibration.

    11/02/2021 7
    The Let off and Take Up Mechanism

    • These machine use electronic let off and take up


    mechanisms.
    • The required pick density is electronically set and makes
    it possible to weave patterned fabrics with alternating
    pick densities
    • The take-up and let-off are driven by the same type of
    motor. The electronic link between let-off and take-up is
    an additional tool for the weaver to manage fabric
    quality.

    Electronic Selvedge System

    In the Electronic Selvedge System full leno false selvedge


    motions are electrically driven by individual stepper motors.
    They are mounted in front of the healds, so that all the
    healds remain available for the fabric pattern.
    The selvedge crossing and pattern are programmed on the
    microprocessor.

    Electronic
    Selvedge
    Mechanism

    11/02/2021 10
    Automatic Full Pick Finding Mechanism

    At a filling break the machine stops and only the healds are
    moved automatically to free the broken pick for removal by
    the weaver.
    The automatic pickfinder and the slow motion movements
    are not driven by a separate motor – the pickfinding is simply
    done by the Sumo at slow speed.

    11/02/2021 11
    Quick Style Change

    The Quick Style Change (QSC) system enables a style change to


    be carried out in about 80 minutes*. The style change is done
    by replacing the entire rear part of the split frame, with the
    warp beam, backrest and support, warp stop motion, harnesses
    and reed. All the settings involved in preparing the fabric on
    the warp side are done before the style change, outside the
    weaving shed.

    The Loom drive
    The oil-cooled Sumo main motor drives most of these weaving
    machine directly, without belt or clutch and brake. The
    combination of the highly energy-efficient Sumo motor with the
    direct drive of the main shaft and shedding motion results in
    power savings of more than 10% in comparison with conventional
    clutch and brake configurations. The speed of the motor is
    controlled electronically, without a frequency converter, thus
    reducing power consumption.

    Conclusion

    Conclusion: Net profit is one of the major considerations


    to keep any organisation running.
    Analysis of the results shows that shuttleless looms are
    more economical than shuttle looms.
