The following should be noticed during electrical appliances application (wiring):


(1) Check the power supply
Make Sure that the same power voltage between machine and factory supplied power before
connection. If there is inconsistent with the power voltage, please turn to the same swith as the
transformer and supplied power.

Notice
If the tap of transformer is wrong, there is risk for burnt and loss.
Moreover the fuse should be installed
Power & as per the power voltage.

440V

(2) Wiring for supplied power


The wire from poewer to machine should be connected to NFB (No Fuse Breaker) inside
control panel , keep the wires parallel without knotting and tight together.

(3) Wiring Layout


Under normal condition, if the wire is used for AC220V, then its specification is AWG10
(equal to 5.5mm2), if it is used for more than AC380V, the specifiaciton is AWG12 (equal
to3.5mm2), and the following factors should also be considered:
a) power voltage
b)the distance from power to machine
c)when the motor is operated, the power voltage can not decreased more than 10%.(Especially
at the condition of overoperated, if the voltage is AC200V, the crank instantly flows into
current 200A ; mesh and dobby instantly flows into current 300A, so if the wire is too thin , at
the start wire, the voltage will be decreased obviously and the power is not enough , the
quality of the cloth will be affected, or result in the mistakes of electrical parts.

(4) Residual current circuit breaker Settings


In order to prevent the the leakage accidents caused by the fire and electrical shock hazards,
please set residual current circuit breaker in front of NFB. But this is not including the
occasion of three phase four line input.
(The power is supplied to NFB by residual current circuit breaker)
(5) Grounding Engineering

31

Chapter 4 Let-off Device

1The electronic-control let-off device detects the total warp tension applied to tension roller1
with load cell 2(set at the right-hand side of the machine), and then calculates the difference between
the detected tension and preset tension with the computer in order to control the speed of AC servo
motor3.
(2)The rotation of AC servomotor3is transmitted via reduction gear4to warp beam gear5. Fixed to
warp beam gear5, warp beam 6 rotates to let off warps7.
(3)To prevent the warp tension divergence resulting from shed opening and closing, either positive
easing motion (mainly for spun yarns)and negative easing motion (mainly for filaments) is available.

Chapter 5 Lower Cover Type Temple (Non-cut Reed

Specification)

The temple pulls the woven cloth to prevent its shrinkage in the width direction and to ensure
stabilized opening to a degree not adversely affecting the cloth quality.
In the lower cover type temple specification, the fell support is close to the reed for stabilized
opening, but incorrect adjustment, if any, ill likely to cause interference between cloth fell parts and
reed.
Make correct adjustment according to the procedure given here.

54
HCP810 Air-Jet Weaving Machine (Mechanical Manual)

5.1 Fell Support Position

Adjust the fell support mounting position


relative to the reed.

[ 1 ] Temple cover vertical position


The clearance between reed upper jaw1 andtemple
cover 3 is initially adjusted to 1 to 1.5mm.
Basically no adjustment is necessary.
1)check the clearance between reed upper jaw 1
and temple cover 3 at a crank angle of 0.
2)adjust the crank angel to 180.
3)Loosen bolts 5.
4)adjust the height by adding or decreasing shims 4.
(t=0.5 1.0) as required according to the results of
the check in step 1 ) (all positiosn in the
lengthenwise direction)
5) Tighten bolts 5.
6)Manually operate the loom and check the
clearance with the reed.
Note:pay attention to the interference with the reed
caused by excessive raise in height adjustment or
interference with the sub-nozzle caused by
excessive lowering.

[ 2 ]Fell Plate Vertical Position


Since the fell plate is fixed on temple bar6, the
positon is basically adjusted at the same time
withtemple cover vertical positioning in [1]above.
If the adjustment is improper, make adjustment as
follows:
1Loosen bolts 9 that fixes clampers 8, and adjust
the height of fell plate7. Carefully avoid any
level difference from teple cover 3 and from
the nighboring fell plate (at *A portion)
2 Tighten all bolts 9 in the longitudinal
direction.
Note: Pay attentionto the interference with the
reed caused by excessive raise in height adjustment
or interference with the sub-nozzle caused by
excessive lowering.

55
HCP810 Air-Jet Weaving Machine (Mechanical Manual)

[ 3 ] Fell support front-rear and latral


Positioning
1Adjust the crank angel to 0.
2Loosen all bolts 5 in the longitudinal direction to
a degree not causing lowering of the temple
cover front edge.
3 Adjust the front-rear position to make the
dimension from reed detn rear edge to temple
covers 3 (LH and RH) satisfy 8 mm (using a
steel tape measure).
4Check to see that the clearance between the end
face of LH cutter 11 and temple cover 3 is 0.5
to 1.0mm.
5Tighten all bolts 5.
Note: Do not bring the fell support too much to the
front as it may cause the temple cover to interfere
with the sub nozzle and /or the temple cover.
Note:Do not bring the fell support too much to the
front as it may cause the temple cover to interfere
with the sub nozzle and /or the temple cover.

5.2 Temple Ring Positioning

[ 1 ] Temple Ring Front-Rear and Lateral


Positioning
1Since LH temple bracket 12 is not fixed with
temple bar 6, the front-rear position and lateral
position should be readjusted.Adjust the lateral
position so that the end face of temple ring 13 is
aligned with the end face of temple cover 3 (at
portion *B).
2Adjst the front-rear position so that the needle of
temple ring 13 is parallel with temple cover 3
without interference with temple cover 3.

[2] Temple Ring Vertical Positioning

1Align the upper face of temple support 14 with


the upper face of temple bracket 12 on both the
LH and RH sides (at portion *C), and tighten
bolt 15.
2To adjust the temple pull, either adjust the
56
HCP810 Air-Jet Weaving Machine (Mechanical Manual)

vertical position of temple support 14 or adjust


the installed angel of temple ring 13. Refer to
3.4 B[2] Adjusting the angle of the temple
Note: carefully prevent temple needle interference
caused by excessive lowering of the temple
support. Use of a temple ring wit damage at the
needle tip end will cause broken warp or cloth
defects.

5.3 Weaving Width Adjustment

[ 1 ] Temple RH Lateral Positioning


1Adjust the crank angle to 180.
2Loosen bolts 16.
3Move the temple until the right end of first
ring 18 of temple ring aligns with the right
edge 17 of the woven cloth, and tighten
bolts16.
Note: After temple movement, do not move the
loom until adjustment of the moved
position of sub nozzles 2, stretch nozzle 21,
and feeler 20. Otherwise, interference may
arise.

[ 2 ] Sub Nozzle, Stretch Nozzle and Feeler

Laterial Positioning
1Adjust the sub nozzle position so that sub
nozzles 2 will enter window 19 in the temple
cover. The standard layout in [5.1.5 Picking
Motion, Sub Nozzle] may not be satisfied
depending on the weaving width. Make
adjustment within the window width.
2Make adjustment to make first feeler 20 enters
window 19 in the temple cover. Provide a
clearance of 2mm at least as illustrated at left.
Make adjustment as instructed in [7.2 Weft
Feeler].
3Install stretch nozzle 21 on the outer side of
Temple cover 3.

[ 3 ] Fell Plate Installation


In the case of the non-cut reed, lower cover type
temple, use fell plate 7 between LH and RH temple
57
HCP810 Air-Jet Weaving Machine (Mechanical Manual)

covers 3 in combination or after cutting as required


to match the weaving width.
1After the end of adjustments in [1] and [2] above,
install fell plate 7 between the LH and RH
temple covers.
2 Make adjustment to eliminate any level
difference by referring to 3.4B.1[2] Fell Plate
Vertical Positioning.
3) When two fell plates are combined on a
boardwidth machine , install each fell plate
without clearance and level difference.
NOTES:
z Any excessive clearance between the temple
cover and fell plate ( at *D portion) exists for
some fabric type wil adversely affect the
weaving quality.Prepare the fell palte so as to
minimize the clearance.
z When the fell plate is cut for use, round the coner
as illustrated and smoothen the surface so as
not to adversely affecting the woven cloth.
z Before starting regular production, perform
trial running to confirm no quality problem in
the woven cloth will occur.

[ 2 ]Function and Ajustment


1 Push-button 9
Pressing this push-button pneumatically
feeds a weft yarn into the drum.
Yarn feeding air is supplied from main 1
tank.
2Electromagnetic 2
This pin measures the lengthen of a weft
yarn for one pick.
Make the clearance between this pin and
measuring band 3 0.5 to 0.8 mm with
gauge 14 ST8211-02011-00, taking care
not touch plunger 15 of electromagnetic
pin 2 against the measuring band.
Adjsut bracket 11 so that plunger 15 comes
into the center of the hole provided in
measuring band 3.
3Ballon sensor 1
This sensor detects the number of weft
windings on measuring bands 3 and 4,that
is, the first turn , second to (n-1)th turns,
and nth turn.

76
HCP810 Air-Jet Weaving Machine (Mechanical Manual)

Adjust the clearance between this sensor and the measuring band to 0.5-1.2mm with gauge14
(ST8211-02011-00).
Install this sensor with its optical axis at a right angle to reflector 13 on measuring band 3 (that is ,
this sensor and measuring band 3 should be paralle to each other.
Use a special bolt for 12 since this sensor is insulated from electromagnetic pin 2.
If there is a problem with weft release because of narrow clearance between the oscillating band
(feeder) and the balloon sensor in the case of the drum with a feeding mechanism, adjust the
clearance to Z to match the weft yarn at the oblong hole at the sensor mounting position.
(If sticking at the clearance occurs in case of a thick yarn , widen the clearance by adjusting the
sensor position toward the main nozzle (rightward).
Refer to the photo at the lower left.

Caution
Before connecting or disconnecting the
ballon sensor connector, be sure to turn
the machine power off.
4Reflector 13
The reflector is stuck onto measuring band 3.
Periodically check the reflector for stains and wipe it clean. Contamination will affect the sensitivity
of winding sensor1.
5Measuring bands 3 and 4
Position the measuring bands 4 by aligning its bottom line X with the desired graduation on scale Y.
For the relationship between the graduations and the measuring lengthen, refer to the table on the
next page.
These measuring bands 3 and 4 are made of ceramic body and plastic base. When securing them
with bolts, torque those bolts to 30kg/.cm.
Reference:
Generally, single-yarn wefts have Z twist, so the standard drums are designed to rotate
counterclockwise (facing the drums). For the 2-color drum shift, both the upper and lower drums
rotate counterwise.
To insert Z-twist yarn and S-twist yarn in the 2-color drum shift, either one of the drums should
rotate clockwise. This modification requires the replacement and addition of some components, so

bfrom the tips of their acceleration tubes to


the leftmost dent A comes to approx.11 mm.

2Up-down and front-to-rear positioning


As shown at left, bring main nozzle bracket 6
into contact with the front and bottom (d in
th figure) of the groove provided in sley 2,
then secure the bracket 6.

[ 3 ] Main Nozzle (Tandem Nozzle)

Structure
Main-nozzle pipe complete ASSY 3a is
built in main-nozle bracket 3b and secured
with screw 3c. Thread guide 4 is screwed
into main nozzle bracket 3b and secured with
lock nut 7.

[ 3.1 ] Adjustign the Thread Guide Positions


The adjustment of thread guide is required when
you position not only main nozzle but also tandem
nozzles.
Adjust gapcbetween thread guide 4 and main
nozzle body 5 according to the steps given below.
1Set the crank angle a the vicinity of 180.
2stop the breeze of the main nozzle by setting
the breeze regulator to the 0 air pressure.
Note: This step is not required for the positioning
of the tandem nozzle.
3Activate the valve in the operator manual
mode.
4 adjust the jetting pressure to
0.1MPa(1kg/cm2).

81
HCP810 Air-Jet Weaving Machine (Mechanical Manual)

(5) Slowly rotate thread guide 4 counterclockwise


or in the direction of X in order to find the
zero point of jet stream switching where the
air jet will nearly blow off from the thread
inlet of thread guide 4.
6Rotate thread guide 4 clockwise or in the
direction of Y (so the thread will be inhaled )
by two turns from the zero point in step (5)
above. The position , however, is set at
approx.2.5 mm for the AGS specification.
The reason is to improve suction for yarn drawing
in because the AGS specification is
frequently used for stretch yarns.
When stress is laid on propulsion, adjust dimensn
c in consideration of the balance with the
ease of suction for yarn drawing in.
Increasing dimension c increases
propulsion but worsens suction.
Note: The standard clearance c between thread
guide 4 and lock nut 7 is approx.3.5 mm.

7Restore the breeze of the main nozzle to the


original air pressure.

7.6 Pressure Adjustment of
Main and Sub Nozzles
The jet pressure adjusters for the main and sub nozzles
are located at the left side of left frame 1.
The figure at left shows the arrangement of the pressure
adjuster dials for the 2-color versions.
M1 : Dial 2 for main nozzle No. 1
M2 : Dial 3 for main nozzle No. 2
M3 : Dial 4 for main nozzle No. 3
M4 : Dial 5 for main nozzle No. 4
S : Dial 6 for sub nozzle
SE : Dial 7 for sub-end nozzle
Beneath the above dials are the following according to
the specifications:
CU : Dial for cutting blow
C : Dial for optional TAPO movable cutter
BL : Dial for TAPO blow
MB : Main-nozzle breeze adjuster dial (for adjusting the
breeze while the machine is in operation)
NI : Dial for TAPO nip roller
SU : Dial for TAPO suction
[ 1 ] Pressure Adjustment Procedure
(1) Connect plug 3 of master gauge 2 (76201-
00010) to coupler 1.
NOTE: For the handling of the master gauge,
refer to Chapter G, Section G.3, Subsection
G.3.1 Air Pressure Gauge.
(2) Conversion of pressure values
When using the pressure gauge whose mea-
suring unit is kilo Pascal (kPa), convert the
measured values as follows:
1 kg/cm2 = 0.098MPa

101
(3) While keeping the pressure difference among the main nozzle pressure PM, sub nozzle
pressure PS,
and sub-end nozzle pressure PE as listed below by reading the air pressure on master
gauge 2, adjust
dials 2 through 5 to obtain the target TW.
For spun yarns
Main nozzle pressure PM = Pressure which makes Tw 230-240
Sub nozzle pressure Sub-end nozzle pressure PS = PS = PE = PM (Without tandem
nozzle) PM + 0.05MPa (0.5 kg/cm2) (With tandem nozzle) PS + 0.1MPa (1.0 kg/cm2)
For filament yarns
Main nozzle pressure Sub nozzle pressure PM = PS = Pressure which makes Tw
230-240 PM + 0.1MPa (1.0 kg/cm2)
If wefts are broken or loosened, make fine adjustment of the air pressures above.
Cautions for Use of Pressure Gauge
Pay attention to the following points when inserting a pressure gauge.

Correct insertion method


(1) Hold the knurled knob portion when inserting
the pressure gauge.
If the pressure gauge is inserted while
pushing
the pusher portion, the life of the chucking
mechanism in the pressure gauge coupler
may become shortened.
For replacement of the pressure gauge cou-
pler, see [3.5] centralized regulator section
on
page M2-16.

(1)
Wrong insertion method
(1) Do not insert while pushing the release bush
with the pusher. Use the pusher only at the
time of extraction.
(2) Pusher (plastic portion)
(3) Release bush (plastic portion of the pressure
port)

(3) (2) (1)

102
[ 2 ] Weft Arrival Angle Tw
The Tw (Timing of weft) means the crank angle when a weft yarn, which was measured and
wound on the electric drum, has reached the WF1 feeler.
(The TW pulse means the weft arrival timing expressed in number of pulses.)
How to check Tw
Use a stroboscope to observe weft yarn 2 wound on measuring band 1 of the electric drum. The
moment the weft is fed through warps and locked with plunger 3, read crank angle Tbw. Check
that the difference between Tw and Tbw is within the range from 5 to15(when the Tw pulse is
set to 2).
NOTE: If the difference exceeds 18, the sub nozzle pressure is improper. Increase the sub
nozzle pressure so that the differencecomes to the specified range.

The standard timing of the Tw is 230 to 240 , It


must be within 250 even for the latest timing.

103
[ 3 ] Breeze of Main Nozzles
Breeze (MB) for preventing weft from coming
out of the main nozzle.
Breeze always streams through each of the main
nozzles to prevent a weft from coming out of the
main nozzle when the weft cutter cuts off
the weft.
Breeze for passing a weft through main and/or
tandem nozzles
You may stream breeze for passing a weft
Push valves for main nozzles through main and/or tandem nozzles in
prepara-tion for weft insertion using push valves
as shown at left.
To pass a weft through the upper main nozzle
No. 1, use push valve 1 (M1); to pass it through
the lower main nozzle No. 2, use push valve 2.
To pass a weft through tandem nozzle 3, use
push valves 4 on top of the weft insertion plate.
APO suction
Push valves for tandem nozzles

[1) Adjust the air pressure to 0.08 MPa (0.8 kg/


cm ) as standard using dial 1 for main nozzle
breeze (MB).
(2) Set the pointers of speed controllers 2 (for
main nozzle No. 1) and 3 (for main nozzle No.
2) to the 2 (breeze) position as standard.
(3) Set the pointer of speed controller 4 (for the
weft threading valve to be activated by the
mechanical push-button) to the 4 position as
standard.
The weft threading air is fed from the main tank.
If the machine fails to thread a weft yarn,
adjust speed controller 4

104
[ 4 ] Cut blow
To prevent weft departure from the main nozzle due to the buckling of weft upon weft cutting by
the cutter LH, air flows in the main nozzle for the set time period.
(1) Adjust the pressure by operating the cut blow dial CU5.
Set it to 0.08 MPa (0.8 kg/cm2) as standard.
(2) The air is distributed at the same pressure to each nozzle valve.
(3) If the yarn posture upon cutting is not appropriate,adjust the pressure and set time period.

[ 5 ] Tandem/Nozzle Breeze
The strength of the breeze at the main nozzle is
suppressed by the breeze flow at the tandem nozzle.
The strength of the air flow is controlled by regulator
MB1 and throttle valves 6 inside the LH cover.
(Since the air is supplied from regulator MB1, the
pressure is the same as the main nozzle breeze
pressure.)

105
7.7 Stretch Nozzle (Option)

The stretch nozzle is mounted near the rightmost


warp. It blows the leading end of a weft into the
exhaust pipe in order to prevent the weft from

loosening
or looping at the right or left selvage section
in weaving with hard twist yarn or filament yarn.
Two types of stretch nozzles are available; one is
for non-cut reeds (standard type and front injection
type) and the other is for cut reeds.
The upper figure shown at left is a standard type
stretch nozzle for non-cut reeds.
1: Non-cut reed
2: Reflecting weft feeler (WF1)
3: Stretch nozzle
4: Weft exhaust pipe (air outlet)
NOTE: After installing the stretch nozzle, you may
mount weft feeler WF2 onto the rear side of weft
exhaust pipe 4. (Refer to Subsection 7.2.1, [ 2 ].)

[ 3 ] Stretch Nozzle for Non-cut Reeds
[Front Injection Type]
As the standard stretch nozzle for non-cut reeds is designed to expand the reed blade with a pin,
it may damage the reed depending on how it is handled.
However, the front injection type stretch nozzle does not expand the reed blade and prevents
the reed from being damaged.
Note that enough stretch performance may not be produced by filament yarn and stretch yarn
that are less prone to fly in weft flying. We recommend that you use a standard type depending
on the yarn type.

[ 3.1 ] Positioning The Stretch Nozzle


(1) Position the stretch nozzle so that the distance
a from the center of the rightmost sub nozzle
to the center of the by-pass port of the exhaust
pipe 5 is 90 mm or less in order to lead flying
wefts securely into the exhaust pipe 5.

(2) Fit the exhaust pipe 5 to the groove provided


in the front side of sleigh 3, put an integrated
washer 7 in-between and secure it on the
sleigh 3 with the nut 4.
Top rubber sheet Position the exhaust pipe 5 so that there is no
gap between the top rubber sheet and the
upper jaw of the reed 6.
NOTE: If you press the rubber sheet too hard,
the rubber sheet will wear out quickly. Do not
press too hard.

111
(3) Align the exhaust pipe 5 on the cloth fell side
with the left surface and install the stretch nozzle
2 to the rear side of the reed 6.
When you align the left surface, the ridge line
on the upper surface of the stretch nozzle 2
aligns with the by-pass port in the front face of
the exhaust pipe 5.
(4) Arrange pipe between the exhaust pipe 5,
stretch nozzle 2 and stretch nozzle valve 8 at
crank angle 180.

Top rubber sheet

(5) Bundle the external diameter 6 hose from the


stretch nozzle and the external diameter 4
hose from the exhaust pipe via a different
diameter union and fix it to the locking shaft
with an insulation lock (68601-02000) through
a large protective tube (74006-29014-00)
Then, fix it to the wire duct with an insulation
Different diameter lock (68601-00001) through a small protective
union tube (74006-19014).
See the standard type section for fixing the
stretch nozzle hose.

[ 3.2 ] Stretch Nozzle Valve Ting and Others
Set initial values in the following table and adjust the valve pressure and the trimmed selvage
length as required.

panel)

Valve pressure Ps to (Ps + 0.05) MPa (Ps to (Ps + 0.5) kg/cm2)

(1) Check if the right and left selvages are tightened or loose. Increase the valve pressure or
the trimmed selvage length if you find a defect.
(2) Increase the weft measuring length by about 20 mm longer than that required when no
stretch nozzle is used.
NOTE: If you find no defect including yarn break,set the pressure of the stretch valve to 0.30 MPa
(3.0 kg/cm2) or more.

113
7.8 Main Nozzle Pressure Exhaust Valve (Option)

The main nozzle pressure exhaust valve should be


used when you weave with weft which will break
easily due to its physical properties at the weft
arrival angle (Tw). (The exhaust valve is useful in
weaving with wool weft.)
The exhaust valve is connected to the output line of
the main valve as shown at left.

Opening the exhaust valve at the main nozzle jet


end angle relieves the air pressure remaining
between the main valve and main nozzle. This lowers
the air pressure at the weft arrival angle (Tw) so
that weft blow-off problems will decrease.
The graph shown at left indicates the difference
between the air pressure waveforms when the
exhaust valve is used and not used.

114
7.9 Sub Nozzle Pressure Exhaust Valve (Option)

If the woven fabric quality is degraded by strong


contact of the jet air stream from the sub nozzle
with the warp after shedding close in succession
to
weft arrival, use the exhaust valve for the sub
valve.
The exhaust valve is connected to the line on the
output side of the sub valve.
As a standard rule, connect it to the final sub
valve
on the right side of the edge of the woven fabric.
Opening the valve different from the sub valve at
the end of air jet from the sub valve discharges
the air between the sub valve and sub nozzle.

Connection method
The illustration at left shows the installation states
of the sub valve and the exhaust valve for the sub
valve.
Use exhaust valve 3 by connecting its inlet joint 3a
with the outlet joint of the final sub valve 1 by hose 2.
Since the position of the final sub valve varies with
the fabric width, exhaust preparation sub valve 5 is
provided on the sub valve side with its outlet joint
5a installed with plug 6.
(Example)
Explanation here is for the case of changing connecting
destination of exhaust valve 3 from sub valve 1 to sub
valve 5.
Remove the mounting bolt 4a for bracket 4 installed
with exhaust valve 3 from stay 7. Then move
exhaust valve 3 together with bracket 4 to the
position
of the mounting hole 7a on stay 7 under sub
valve 5, and tighten bolt 4a.
Disconnect plug 6 from one-touch joint 5a of sub
valve 5, and connect hose 2 there.
Then install plug 6 onto one-touch joint 1a of sub
valve 1, which has been disconnected from the
exhaust valve.
Assume the setting of the sub valve installed with the exhaust valve to be 180 - 260.
115
7.10 Main Valve Piping for Highspeed Operation

For high-speed machine operation at or above


1,000 rpm, changing the main valve output piping
will prevent broken weft due to air jet, fabric quality
degradation or other defect by quicker fall of the
pressure waveform upon main valve OFF.
The fall of the pressure waveform at the time of
main valve OFF can be made quicker by changing
the piping between the main valve and cut blow.
The time for the valve pressure to fall from the set
level to 10% less than the set level can be reduced
by about 45 by changing from the standard to the
high-speed piping.
Changing method
(1) Disconnect one-touch joint 1a on the output
side of main valve 1 from the same of hose 2
connected to Y joint 3.
(2) Remove hose 6 and check valve 5 from
onetouch
joint 7a on the output side of cut blow
valve 7, and connect hose 4 to one-touch joint
7a.
(3) Disconnect removed hose 6 from check valve
5.
(4) Connect removed hose 6 to one-touch joint 1a
on the output side of main valve 1.
(5) Connect the V-groove side of check valve 5 to
hose 2 and the opposite side of check valve 5
to hose 6.
NOTE: Carefully install the check valve in the
direction
to allow air flow from the cut blow side to the
main valve.
After the end of installation, perform manual
operation to confirm cut blow jet from the main
nozzle.

Chapter 9 Warp Detectors


The warp detector, which is located above the warp lines at the rear section of the weaving machine, detects
warp break to stop the machine operation.
If a warp 1 breaks, dropper 2 falls down so that contact bar 3 draws current whose signals are transmitted via
contact plate 4 and cable 5 to the machine control box.
NOTE: When handling a 12-division contact bar, take special care not to bend it.

Chapter 11 Selvage Forming Device


11.1 Full-leno Selvage Device
This device binds two leno yarns with every weft yarn at each side of the fabric to produce a firm selvage con- struction
which will not become loose if weft yarns are cut.

Sequence of Movement
(1) The rotational force is transmitted via the gear train of gears 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, to leno selvage gear 6.
(2) Since leno selvage gear 6 and stationary gear 7 are set on the same shaft, stationary gear 7 also rotates so as to
engage idle gears 8 and planetary gears 9 with each other. Consequently, bobbin holders 10a and 10b rotate.
(3) Leno yarns fed from bobbins 11a and 11b go up and down to produce a full leno selvage.

catch bobbin rod 9 firmly, the tip end A of bob-
bin rod stopper 7 lightly pushes the straight
sensor plate 11 to stop the machine.
Then, the same indication as the full-leno sel-
vage stop will be shown on the signal indica-
tor and the function panel.
NOTE: If a full-leno selvage stop occurs (e.g.
during reverse inching caused by the START
switch after bobbin replacement), be sure to
check whether the bobbin rod stopper catches
the bobbin rod firmly.

The sensor plates for stop motion may be adjusted


according to the procedure given below.
(1) Release the tension of leno yarns.
(2) Turn leno selvage wheel gear 1 until tenser
arm 4 comes in light contact with round sensor
1 plate 10, then secure the sensor plate with fix-
ing bolt 12.
(3) Tense the leno yarns and check that tenser
arm 4 is not in contact with round sensor plate
10.

leno selvage, it is recommended that finished
yarn of 50d or 75d be used, provided that no
problem occurs in the subsequent processes.
(2) The yarn winding direction onto the leno
bob- bin is as shown at left.

NOTE: When using the special winder for winding


yarn onto the leno bobbin, do not increase the yarn
take-up tension excessively by the winder, particu-
larly when filament yarn is used. Otherwise, the
leno bobbin may be deformed, making it impossible
to set the bobbin into the bobbin holder.

Chapter 12. Waste Selvage Device


(1) The waste selvage device binds weft 1 jetted up to the outside of the right edge of the woven fabric with
several warps 2 (or with yarns from the waste-selvage cheeses) in order to apply tension to the weft, for
an ideal selvage construction.
(2) Two types of the waste selvage devices are available: the non-stand type which uses several warps
as waste-selvage yarns and the stand-equipped type which uses waste-selvage cheeses.

140
HCP810 Air-Jet Weaving Machine (Mechanical Manual)

12.1 Non-stand Type


This type uses ground warps of yarn number count
7's to 40's, as waste-selvage yarns.
[1] Waste-selvage Yarn Path
(1) Warps 1 to be used as waste-selvage yarns
are routed through dropper 2, guides 3 and 4,
eye 5a of tenser spring 5, and guide 6. They
are shed with heald 7.
(2) Waste-selvage yarns 1 are routed
through reed 8 and bound with weft 9 at the
cloth fell area. They are further routed
through temple
10 and cut off from the woven fabric with weft
cutter 11.
(3) The cut-off waste-selvage yarns 1
advance along guide rollers 12, 13, and 14
while being p u l l e d d o w n w i t h t h e c o n t a c t
p r e s s u r e between waste band roller 15
and contact roller 16, then ejected into
waste-yarn box 18.
NOTE: In filament-intended versions, the weft
band roller and contact roller are gear-driven
types.
[2] Adjusting the Inclination of Tenser
Spring
(1) When tenser spring 5 holds no yarn, adjust
tenser spring 5 at approx. 120 from the verti-
cal plane as shown at left.

(2) Adjust the tension of waste-selvage yarn by


making distance "a" 30 mm as standard, as
shown at left.
If a waste-selvage yarn break occurs, increase
th e d i s t a n c e " a "; if w a ste- s e lv age yar n
becomes slack, decrease it.

(4) How to draw yarns through the healds
Draw two, three, or four yarns through the 1st,
2nd, 3rd, and 4th heald frames in this order.
NOTE: If a waste-selvage yarn break occurs
frequently, draw yarns through the 1st, 2nd,
1st, and 2nd heald frames in this order. Do not
use the 3rd and 4th heald frames.

142
HCP810 Air-Jet Weaving Machine (Mechanical Manual)

12.2 Stand-equipped Type


This type uses waste-selvage cheeses 2 on waste-
selvage stand 1 to feed waste-selvage yarns into
the machine.
Six to eight cheeses are generally used.

[ 1 ] Routing Waste-selvage
Yarns
(1) Route yarn 3 coming from cheese 2 through
cheese spindle 4, hook it onto yarn guide 5,
then thread it through tenser 6.
NOTE: When routing yarn 3 through cheese
spindle 4, use the threader (J8213-01010-00).
(2) Hook yarn 3 onto rod 7 and then
route it through wire dropper 8 and the yarn
hole of yarn guide bar 9.
(3) Route yarn 3 through yarn guide 11
supported on full-leno selvage bracket 10,
yarn hole 13 provided in tenser spring 12,
and yarn guide
14. Further route yarn 3 through a heald.

[ 2 ] Adjusting the Inclination of


Tenser
Spring
(1) When tenser spring 12 holds no yarn, adjust
tenser spring 12 at approx. 120 from the verti-
cal plane as shown at left.
NOTE: At the installation of the machine, tenser
spring 12 is adjusted at horizontal position.
(2) Thread yarn 3 through yarn hole 13 of tenser
spring 12.
Then, adjust tenser 6 on the cheese stand so
that the yarn hole 13 bends down by 15-20
mm from the position of the tenser spring sup-
porting no yarn.

[ 3 ] Adjusting the Yarn Guide


Height
Adjust yarn guide 14 up or down so that the ten-
sions of upper and lower warp yarns (16 and 17)
are almost identical to each other.

143
HCP810 Air-Jet Weaving Machine (Mechanical Manual)

[ 4 ] Waste-selvage Yarn Break


Detector
If a waste-selvage yarn 3 is broken, wire dropper 8
falls to position 8a so as to come into contact with
stopper bar 15.
Stopper bar 15 signals the control box to stop the
machine.
For wire droppers 8 not in use, cover the mating
stopper bars 15 with tape. Otherwise, the
machine status becomes the same as
waste-selvage yarn break and the machine will not
run.
It is necessary to clean stopper bar 15 periodically.
This is because if stopper bar 15 becomes covered
with fly, fleece or size dust, it will fail to detect wire
dropper 8, resulting in a detection error.
The detection failure of the waste-selvage
yarn break detector is, in many cases, the primary
source of such problems that broken waste-selvage
yarns dangle and become entangled with the rotat-
ing section.

[ 5 ] Setting the Waste-selvage


Cam
Timing
When using waste-selvage cams (1/1) for
satin weave or the like, set the alignment
timing of waste-selvage heald frames earlier by
approx. 10 than that of ground-weave heald
frames.

[ 6 ] Waste-selvage Cheese
Specifications
(1) Yarn type
The yarn type for waste-selvage yarns shall be
EC 23/2's as standard. The EC 24/2's and
parched yarns may be used provided that they
have a strength equivalent to 23/2's or higher.
(2) Cheese shape
Shown at left are the recommended dimen-
sions and shape of a waste-selvage cheese.

145
HCP810 Air-Jet Weaving Machine (Mechanical Manual)

12.3 Adjusting the Contact


Pressure of the
Waste-selvage Contact
Roller
The waste-selvage contact roller presses
waste- selvage yarns against the
waste-selvage drive roller to pull down those
yarns sandwiched in- between into the
waste-yarn box. You can adjust the contact
pressure of the waste-selvage contact roller.
The waste-selvage contact roller is available in
two types: Roller type and Gear type.
Generally, the former is used for spun yarns
and the latter is for fil- ament or glass fiber
yarns, but it may differ depend- ing upon the
specifications.
Roller type
For the standard contact pressure, align the
marker on waste guide 1 with biggest notch 2A
in spring stopper 2.

Contact roller 3 will be pressed against


waste-selvage drive roller 4 by the force of the
torsion spring.

NOTE: In weaving high-density fabrics or thick


fabrics, the machine's vibration may be
transmitted to the waste-selvage contact roller
and its related section, lowering the contact
pressure. In such a case, turn spring stopper 2
counterclockwise with a span- ner to increase
the contact pressure.
Gear type
For the standard contact pressure, make
hooking hole 2B provided in spring stopper 2
almost hori- zontal.Turning spring stopper 2
counterclockwise increases the contact
pressure.
NOTE: When removing or threading
waste-selvage yarns from/through the related
rollers (either roller type or gear type), pull up
lever 6 in the direction of the arrow shown in
the above illustrations.

tools and store them in a ready-to-use sate.
a Oil drainer 1 (commercially available)

b Oil drainer attachement 2


(Tool NO.77140-00001
For draining the gear box, oil drainer 1 is
recommended so that you can draw out the
used oil.
When draining oil from the coupler with a
pump, make sure to remove the oil cap. If
you pump out the oil without removing the
cap, the oil seals may b damaged.
Using oil drainer attachment 2 designed for
spontaneous draining will take more time
than using oil drainer1. Never apply air
pressure to the inside of the gear box for
speedy draining. Doing so will deform the
seals resulting in oil leakage.

e) Brush 7commercially available)
2Before lubrication, make sure that no air is
entrap entrapped inside grease gun 3.
Note:Air entrapped inside the gun will prevent
the gun gun from feeding grease correctly.
Periodically check the feeding amount of
grease.

3Before lubrication, check that grease nipple

or broken.

224
HCP810 Air-Jet Weaving Machine (Mechanical Manual)

4Lubricant storing and other notes


a) seal up the lubricant containers and place
them in a well-ventilated room separated
from the weaving rooms and machine
rooms.
bAvoid storing lubricants for more than 1
year, since even high-quality lubricants
may deteriorate as time passes.
c) Never mix different brands of grease or oil.

225
HCP810 Air-Jet Weaving Machine (Mechanical Manual)

15.2 LUBE Electric Centralized Lubrication System

[1] General
This system is composed of a motor-driven pump (DBS-J20/03E), piston valves
(MG) and pressure switch. The pump pressurizes grease to feed it into the pipes. As the
in-pipe pressure increases, the pistion in each connected valve moves inwards so as to
supply the specified amount of grease to the lubrication point. The pressure switch
detects the in-pipe pressure change, signaling the CPU to optimize the pump.
When the pump stops pressurizing grease, the in-pipe pressure automatically
decreases so that the piston moves back to the retracted position. This retracting stroke
of the pistion will take in grease (which will be supplied at the next discharge stroke of
the pistion) into the valve.
The above operation could easily receive a serious influence by dust, and air
bubbles if coming into grease. Those foreign materials will cause pump or valve
problems; in the worst case, they will result in a damaged weaving machine. Always
observe the precautions given in item [3].

[2] Specification of Lubrication Pump

226
HCP810 Air-Jet Weaving Machine (Mechanical Manual)

Operational Principles
The pump pressurizes grease to start moving up the V-packing hydraulically.
The V-packing blocks up the center hole so that the piston moves inwards against the spring
force. Accordingly, grease stored in the upper section of the pistion will discharge.
The piston has moved in completely. It means the completion of discharging.
The depressurizing mechanism integrated in the pump body works to decrease the in-pipe
pressure so that the piston starts moving back by the spring force provided in the valve.
Accordingly, the inside becomes pressurized so that the V-packing moves down to open the
center hole. Grease will be fed into the upper section of the pistion for the next discharge stroke.

227
HCP810 Air-Jet Weaving Machine (Mechanical Manual)

IMPORTANT

[ 3 ]Precautions for supplying and

storing grease
1 Supply grease to the reservoir through the grease
inlet nipple provided beneath the pump. Never
remove the cap on the reservoir top to supply
grease. This is to prevent foreign materials , fly,
or dusts coming into grease.
At the time of supplying grease, wipe the
grease inlet nipple and the lubricating tools
(particularly, those nozzle ends ) with a clean
cloth.
If air bubbles get into the reservoir at the time
of grease refilling, the pump will no longer
work. After refilling, be sure to vent air
bubbles from the reservoir according to the
instructions given in [4] periodical inspection,
(3), step (20).

2 Use recommended grease only. Never mix


different brands of grease.
Caution: Do not use calcium-based grease
which is easily separated into base oil and
soup base. The separated soup base will turn
into sludge, accumulating inside the pump and
causing pump malfunction. In addition, do not
use No.2 grease which is hard and has very
low flowrate. Using such grease will prevent
the lubrication system from working normally.
3 Before the grease level comes down to the low
level (marked with =L= on the side of the
reservoir), be sure to supply grease.
Operating the pump with grease less than the low
level will make air bubbles come into grease,
causing operation problems , in such a case,
purge air bubbles, referring to item [4]
troubleshooting.
4carry out the periodical inspection of the pump
Semiyear.
5 Check the piping for damage at every
completion of weaving.

228
HCP810 Air-Jet Weaving Machine (Mechanical Manual)

6Be sure to wash both filters every six months.To


take out those filters, you need to remove the
grease inlet plug.

IMPORTANT

If dust, fly, or air bubbles get ito the entralized


lubrication system, it could result in a damaged pump or
distributing valves.
Seal up the lubricant containers to prevent dust or fly
coming into grease, and store them in an environment
which is not subject to direct sunlight or extremes of
temperature.

1 For the LUBE centralized lubrication system
Electric centralized grease lubricator 1 consists of a
pump, motor, and tank. Its lubrication intervals (cycle
of hours) can be set from the function panel.(refer to
chapter 0, subsection 0.3.2 [4] [1.2] [ OIL] switch)
1For the test run of the new machine, set Every 4
hours and run the machine for 1 to 2 days.
2After loading a warp beam, set Every 10 hours.
Note: Depending upon the machine speed (rpm) and
earp warp tension setting, the lubrication interval should be
sho shorter in some cases.
Once you set the lubrication interval to Every 10
hours for example:each of the distributing
valves supplies the specified amount of grease
directly to the lubricating point every 10 hours.

[ 1.2 ] Manual lubrication


The following tools are required for
manual manual lubrication:
1grease gun 2provided with the machine
2oiler 3provided with the machine
3oiler 4commercially available
4oiler 5commercially available
5brush 6commercially available
Note: use oiler 5 to lubricate the gearing box,
let-off drive box, shedding tappet box, and tucker housing.

[ 1.3 ] Centralized manual lubrication


For certain crank shedding motions and
locking locking metal housing (without
centralized lubrication), lubrication ports are
gathered gathered at a place using nylon tubes as
Shown by photo at the left. For such
type type of a machine, lubricate using the
foll following procedure:
232
HCP810 Air-Jet Weaving Machine (Mechanical Manual)

If you use an electric grease gun:


Use Grease E (that is exclusively prepared for
centralized lubrication) with viscosity 0.
If you use a manual grease gun:
Use the same type of grease as above. Grease E
with viscosity 2 may also be used, provided that you supply it slowly.
Note: If you quickly supply Grease E with viscosity
2 under high pressure, nylon tubes may be broken.

small lot, short cycle production of multiple items.
To weave efficiently with the air jet weaving machine:
Yarn should have superior properties; yarn should be wound with the uniform and proper tension
during the warping process, and yarn should be sized uniformly and stbly with adequate size, then
the sized yarn should be wound with constant tension.
[ 2.1 ] Requirements for warp
1Yarn should be uniform and have sufficient strengthen an elongation.
2Yarn should contain few knots or no loose knots. Those knots if any , should be small.
3)Warp sheet should be wound with the uniform tension and have adequated elongation.
4Size to be used should match yarn quality, yarn number count, and fabric texture, size should
have optimal viscosity.
5Fluff should be wound adequately and yarn should not have partial lack of sizing.
6Yarn should be adequately dried and have appropriate moisture absorptiveness.
