Advantages and Disadvantages of Shuttle Loom/Merits and Limitation of Shuttle Loom

Merits And Limitation Of Shuttle Loom
A.Advantages /Merit Of Shuttle Loom -
1.The power loom suitable for the various fabric. i.e It is versatile loom.
2. It is suitable for smaller lot of fabric
3. As loom operate at less speed, warp  preparation is not demanding
4. Quality demand of yarn (warp and weft ) is less
5. The capital investment is less
6. Required very less amount of climate control.
7. There is no need for separate Selvedge  mechanism. Automatic selvedge form .
8. The power requirement less technical equipment.
9.  The labour is easily available and very high skill is not required.
10.   The Spare part cheap and easily available in market
11. It can be fitted with Dobby and Jacquard.
Disadvantages/ limitation of shuttle loom
1. It  use half kg of shuttle to carry a yarn  having a weight of 0. 2 gm/m.
2. It is wasting lot of kinetic energy of the shuttle in the shuttle box.
3. It give  more wear and tear of shuttle  and checking devices.
4. The speed of the machine is less about 180 PPM.
5. Production per machine per  labour is less
6. It imposes great  strain on picking mechanism .
7. It give a lot of noise and vibration upto 120 dB.
8. It is difficult to control shuttle  movement many time shuttle fly off.
9. It is difficult to work with multicolour  weft .
10. Very small size of the weft  package of about  80-120 gm need frequent replacement.
11. Frequent stopping of Loom gives  starting mark on a fabric
12. The Fabric quality is difficult to control.
13. The various fabric faults  occur due to the technological limitation.
14. It require more space ,labour per unit  production.
15. There is a high consumption of spare part
16. It requires separate pirn winding  department .

Rapier weft Insertion System

Image
Repier Weft Insertion system -      The picking or weft  insertion system is based on modified repair principle, two carriers  entering the warp Shed  simultaneously from each side of the l oom and meeting almost half way through the shed. These are two basic type of rapier heads: 1) Loop transfer rapier machine-Gabler Principle ,  2) Tip transfer repair machine -Dewas principle.    In the Gabler system the weft  is never gripped. It is placed in a slot 'A' in the right rapier head and as the rapier advance towards the centre of the Loom, the yarn  passes from its clamped position round the head,  to the supply package in the form of hair pin .When  the head meet at the centre of the loom, the smaller left hand head , enters the yarn  carrying right hand head. The thread at 'A' is passed under the spring loaded cover guide at 'B' and  as the left hand rapier is withdrawn,it repositions the weft ...

PRINCIPLES OF YARN CLEARING /YARN CLEARING IN WINDING / ASSESSMENTS OF CLEARER PERFORMANCE

Image
Objective of yarn clearing -     Objective of yarn clearing is to remove objectionable faults from the yarn / supply package Principles of measurement of yarn faults/Yarn diameter    Two principles are used in morden winders for identification of yarn faults   1. Capacitance principle    2.Optical principle  1.Capacitance principle - Working Principle- :    When yarn pass through two capacitor parallel plate the electrical signal changes / produce which is proportional to change in mass per unit length.  Capacitance (C) = εA /d                                 C= charge/Voltage Working -:       In the capacitor electronic yarn clear device is measurement of yarn mass per given test length        Any change in mass of yarn then the set value to makes corresponding change in a capacitance.
