Primary Motions of Loom
Basic weaving motions - primary, secondary and auxiliary motions; shedding - positive and negative; top
reversing motion – four bar and six bar linkages; picking - over picking and under picking; beat – up – sley
eccentricity, loom timing diagram; swell checking and hydraulic swell checking; check straps.
Secondary, Auxiliary Motions and Accessories
Let – off – positive and negative, tension control device; take - up – different types of take - up mechanism;
side weft fork and centre weft fork mechanisms; warp protector mechanism - loose reed and fast reed; warp
stop motion – mechanical and electrical; weft stop motion – different types and feelers; shuttle changing
mechanism; cop changing mechanism; weaving accessories – types and selection of heald wires, heald
frames, reeds, drop wires, temples; picking accessories – shuttles.
Drop Box and Dobby Looms
Drop box mechanism - 1x4 ; different types of dobby - climax, cross - border, cam and electronic dobby; pick
finding device; method of pegging for right hand and left hand dobby - designing and pegging; terry mechanism
– principle and types – loose reed terry and fast reed terry mechanism.
Jacquards
Classification of jacquards - working of different jacquards – single lift single cylinder jacquard, double lift single
cylinder jacquard, double lift double cylinder jacquard ,cross - border jacquard and electronic jacquard; casting
out; tie ups; harness mounting; motif and design preparation for a simple jacquard design; card punching; brief
note on card lacing and types of card lacing.
Shuttleless Loom
Yarn quality requirements for shuttleless loom; weft preparation for shuttleless loom; weft insertion principle of
shuttleless looms in projectile, rapier, air - jet, water jet and multiphase looms; weft accumulators; types of
selvedges; techno - economics of shuttleless loom; weaving of blended yarns and filament yarns.
