The 4-row warp stop frame for rapier towel looms is a warp stop detection component suitable for weaving medium and low warp density towels. It is mainly used to monitor warp yarn breakage to ensure towel weaving quality. The following is a brief introduction to its core information:
The 4-row warp stop frame for rapier towel looms is a warp stop detection component suitable for weaving medium and low warp density towels. It is mainly used to monitor warp yarn breakage to ensure towel weaving quality. The following is a brief introduction to its core information:
1. Core function: The core function is to monitor the warp state of towels in real time during weaving. The four rows of warp stopping strips on its frame can be matched with corresponding warp stopping pieces. Once the warp passes through the warp stopping pieces, if the warp ends, the corresponding warp stopping pieces will fall due to their own weight, triggering a change in the electrical circuit and causing the loom to stop quickly. This can avoid uneven loops, jumpers, and other defects on the towel surface caused by broken warp, while reducing subsequent repair costs.
2. Adaptation scenario: Suitable for ordinary towel weaving scenarios with moderate warp density. Like pure cotton plain weave towels, basic looped towels, etc., the warp yarn arrangement density is not high, and the four column layout is sufficient to allow the warp yarn to pass through in an orderly manner, without the occurrence of crowded or stuck warp stops. Compared to 6-row and 8-row stop frames, it is more suitable for small and medium-sized textile factories to produce conventional towel products, and can also adapt to the basic towel warp configuration of single yarn and strand combination, meeting the stable weaving needs of rapier towel looms at medium and low speeds.
3. Structure and usage characteristics: The structure is relatively simple and compact, and the frame is mostly made of wear-resistant metal materials. The spacing between the four stop warp strips is adapted to the conventional thickness of the towel warp yarn. When installed, it can be correctly docked with the wall panel and crossbeam of the rapier towel loom. In terms of operation, the warp yarn can be threaded into 4 rows of warp stopping pieces in order before being put on the machine. During maintenance, it is only necessary to regularly clean the contact surface between the warp stopping strips and the warp stopping pieces, and check the contact status of the circuit. However, it is not suitable for high-density jacquard towels, which have a large number of warp yarns and require 6 or more warp stopping frames to avoid warp yarn entanglement or detection omissions.
4. Cost effectiveness advantage: Compared to multi column suspension racks, the design and manufacturing cost of 4-column suspension racks is lower, and the simple structure reduces the failure rate, eliminating the need for complex debugging and maintenance in daily operations. For manufacturers specializing in the regular towel category, it can meet the basic stopping and testing needs, as well as control equipment procurement and later operation and maintenance costs, with outstanding cost-effectiveness.
