Auxiliary Motion

 These are important to enhance productivity and quality of a

weaving process.

 The basic motions are -

Cloth control – Temple & Brake
Warp protector
Weft stop motion
Warp stop motion

 All these motions helps in increasing loom production and its

quality.

Objective of Temple on loom:
Warp
Weft 1. Helps to minimizing the fabric contraction.

Without warp and weft Tension
With warp and without weft
Tension
2. Helps in reducing drag between selvedge threads and
shuttle.
3. Because of less contraction, helps in avoiding severe
rubbing between selvedge ends and reed parts.
4. Helps in keeping fabric and warp sheet width equal at
fell.

 Temple
Auxiliary Motion -
Temple
1. Classification Ring Roller Full width

Note: In each type of temple, Right hand side temple and Left hand side temple
is different. One need to find out from direction of pins and serrations.
 Ring Temple:
Auxiliary Motion -
Most efficient for holding the cloth at required width.
Temple
Each ring consist of 1 - 6 rows of spikes.
1. Ring Temple
Each temple contains 1 - 30 rings and each ring has about 30
pins. The no. of rings varies according to weft way
contraction and fabric width.
The no. of rings and spikes per ring depends upon the fabric
quality. 1 ring is recommended for every 10 cm of fabric
width.
Washer Spikes
Suitable for light, medium and heavy fabrics.
Spindle Ring Requires regular maintenance to avoid fabric damage.
The pins are long and easily get damaged through misuse.
Dust, dirt or yarn waste between the rings and washer may
prevent rings from rotating freely.

Note: Washers can be of steel, brass or Nylon material.

 Roller Temple:
Auxiliary Motion -
Temple Made of either mild steel with raised teeth or boxwood
1. Roller Temple
with inserted steel pins.
The no. of pins, pin diameter and arrangement of pin in the
roller (diamond, straight line, spiral line) depends upon
fabric quality to be woven.
Suitable for light, medium weight fabrics woven from spun

yarns and having relatively little weft contraction.

For filament yarn fabrics, rubber covered rollers (plain,
grooved, screwed surface) is used to avoid fabric damage.
For high weft way contraction filament fabrics, gripping
power improved by rubber covered temple with 1 temple
ring at the outside edge and it also helps to control fabric.
Auxiliary Motion - Full width Temple:
Temple
1. Full width Temple
Used for fabric that requires temple mark free or temple
strain free fabric.
Controls fabric close to fell and reduces fell movement at
beat up. Hence less increase in fabric tension and
corresponding reduction in end breaks.
Steel rod action is mild therefore no damage to fabric.

& its setting

Faults due to Temple and its setting:

Tears/holes in fabric at selvedge due to damaged pins, jammed rings.
Temple marks
Wavy or curly selvedge
