In this report we are presenting about the jacquard shedding mechanism of manufacturer STAUBLI Model no. dx-100. It is synchronized with a projectile loom of manufaturer SULZER model no. HP7300.

MECHANISMS:
There are three principle mechanism in a jacquard shedding: Drive mechanism (Cams) Selection mechanism (Control Box) Lifting mechanism (Modules)

DOUBLE LIFT DOUBLE CYLINDER JACQUARD:

There are two cylinders in this arrangement one for even numbered frames and one for odd numbered frames. It has two needles and two hooks for each harness cord and each end in the repeat. This system forms a semi open shed and runs at higher speeds.

MAIN COMPONENTS OF STAUBLI Dx100:

Control box( JC6 Controller) :
It is configured prior to first operating the machine in order to match it with the characteristics of the jacquard machine that it will control. This operation is normally performedonly once. Shutdowns occur has no effect on the saved configuration. It consists of: A CPU microprocessor board to control all operations through integrated software A power supply An internal storage unit0. A USB compatible port for reading or saving files. An input-output board and an adapter board according to weaving machine.

The Module:
The module ensures the connection between the harness and the lifting mechanism.The Module of DX100 is compact, wear resistant and consumes very less energy.The module is equipped with CLI card, two pulleys, number of hooks, electromagnets, cords.

THE COMPONENTS OF THE JACQUARD MODULES ARE : The CLI Card: The CLI (Command Line Interface) card is an electronic chip, which controls the magnetization and de- magnetization of the hooks. The Cords: One end of the cord is attach to the hook while the other end is attach to another hook (hook which retains either when magnetize or demagnetize. The hooks: There are actually three hooks (two upper and one lower) working in a module. Both of them are attached to the both ends of the cords. One hook is is used to hooked when magnetized or demagnetized. While the other one is used to hooked to the wires (jaala) which contains headle and is then attach to the lingos. The pulleys: The pulleys or the ball bearing is used to lift the warp yarns.The pulleys moves up and down.

Comber board:
The comber board is the piece of hardboard, usually placed 1 to 2 meter below the bottom of the hooks. It is made and drilled to customer specifications. The number and order of holes depends upon the number of hooks in jacquard head.

Lubrication System:
In jacquard (STAUBLI) the lubrication is required for cams, bevel gears, timing belts and for bearings which is done by dropping oil drops. The oil used is Delo shell 440.

Selvedge:
A 2/2 tuck-in type selvedge is done in jacquard (STAUBLI) shedding. 48 chords are provided for this purpose.

SYNCHRONIZATION:
Synchronized with the loom through the drive of cardan shaft and fully-enclosed spiral bevel gear box. Driving mechanism is Timing belt drive which reduces noise. Timing belts use teeth that mesh with grooves in a pulley to drive the system. It brings the cylinder against the board at desired time. There is no slippage which will cause speed variations, thus allowing drives to be timed very accurately. Timing pulley then gives drive to crank shaft which converts linear energy into rotational energy and gives drive to cylinders. The knives are mounted in the knife frame which reciprocates vertically once every pick. Knives are lifted by a rod operating according to the driving of the cylinder

SHEDDING MECHANISM OF JACQUARD Dx100:

The movable hooks move along the motion of the knives. An electromagnet is used for the engagement and disengagement of the hooks. When the electromagnet is magnetized it allows the movable hook to enter and then it demagnetizes so the hook is stuck with the retainable hook. There are two sets of pulleys attached to each other as shown in the figure. The lower pulley has one of its end fixed, this allows the cord to pull the yarn up through the cord.

Knife carries the hook when the magnet is magnetized and then it demagnetizes so the hook is stuck with the retaining hook and then the other knife takes the second hook and attaches it with the other retaining hook through the same principle causing both the hooks to attach. Further motion causes the lower pulley to rise and thus causes the yarn to be pulled up according to the defined design fed into the machine.

SPECIFICATIONS:
Model Manufacturer Modules 1 module No Of Cords No of frames 1 cord No of warp ends No. of cords for selvedge Software version DX100 Staubli 336 (present 176) 8 cords 1408 16 4 warp ends 5623 (4 x 1408) 48 JC6

ADVANTAGES:
Easy maintenance No point needing lubrication Few moving parts Modular construction and thus easy access Low vibration even at high speed Reduced setting time, as the machine is electronically controlled and therefore no paper is needed.

LIMITATIONS:
Increasing the no. of module assembly is very complicated. It is very expensive.
