Abstract:
Rapier loom is a shuttle less weaving loom wherein the filling yarn is carried via the shed of warp yarns to the opposite side of the loom through finger like vendors called rapiers. Rapier weaving machines are acknowledged for his or her reliability and overall performance. A completely extensive range of fabric may be woven on a rapier weaving device that's commonly from very mild fabrics with 20 g/m2 to heavy fabrics with round 850 g/m2. Rapier machines are extensively used for household textiles and industrial fabric. Designed for usual use, the rapier weaving system can weave now not only the conventional wool, cotton and guy made fibers, however additionally the most technically stressful filament yarns, finest silk and fancy yarns. In this project (thesis) we worked on itema 9500 2nd generation rapier loom. We worked on various settings of this loom such as: preparing the single beam, mounting of the reed, alignment adjustment procedure, reed denting procedure and weft selector setting etc. During these commissioning some problems have generated and causes and remedies are also verified.
