air jet loom picanol
TRANSCRIPT
Md. Azmir LatifMSc. in Textile Engineer
An air-jet loom is a shuttleless modern
loom that uses a jet of air to propel the
weft yarn through the shed. It is one of
two types of fluid-jet looms, the other
being a water-jet loom, which was
developed previously.

Air dryer
Functions:
To collect raw air, separate large particles & compress the air.
Store compressed air for preventing pressure pulsation, separate moisture, grease & other impurities
A refrigerating air dryer is used to remove moisture
Compressing Equipments:
Main line filter
Sub- micron filter
Micro mist filter
Reservoir
Functions:
Removes 3-5 micron size foreign particles.
Removes 0.3-1 micron size substances such as tar & Carbon.
Remove 0.01 micron size particles, e.g. grease
To reserve the filtered air
Cam beat up Profile Reed is
used

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.

Calculation warp of tension in case of
multi count warp.
Example: (7oe+9oe+12oe) 4:5:3
Warp tension to be set:
(2.30x4)/12+(2.10x5)/12+(2.00x3)/12
=2.15 KN
Connecting a warp beam with ELO
Take up is done electronically
Take up is synchronized with the let off motion with the help of a servo motor
Take up = Late off+ crimp %
Servo motor drives the emery roller Fig: Emery roller driven by servo
motor
Warp Stop motion
It is constituted with drop wire and electrode.
When drop wire fall (due to breakage of warp) on the contact bar a electronic circuit and send a signal to stop the machine
Weft stop motion
Filling yarn is detected by a filling detector.
FD is constructed with a light emitting diode and photo electric sensor .
The filling yarn interrupt the continuity of light and photo electric sensor convert it into a electronic signal.
Other stoppage:
Bobbin breakage
Leno breakage
Catch cord breakage
Batcher stop
Machine brake

Types of lubrication:
Splash Lubrication
Circulating
Lubrication
Hand Lubrication
Splash Lubrication:
The parts requiring
continuous lubrication
have been placed inside
housings. These
housings are partially
filled with oil. As a
result of the movement
of certain parts, this oil
is splashed onto other
parts. This is referred
to as splash lubrication.
Maintenance
Circulating Lubrication:Components that need to be lubricated continuously and for which the splash lubrication is not sufficient, are lubricated by means of a circulating lubrication system (oil circuit supplied from the oil tank).
Hand Lubrication:
The term "hand lubrication" refers to the components that must be lubricated manually at specific lubrication intervals.

It is difficult to predict machine operating temperatures, as these depend on machine running times, machine efficiency, ambient temperature and load on the machine (fabric, number of frames, etc.).
Recommended Machine Temperatures:
The normal machine oil temperature should be less than 55°C;
The Dobby temperature should be less than 65°C;
The cam motion temperature should be less than 60°C;
And the let off temperature should be less than 50°C.
