What are the advantages of air jet looms?

An air jet loom is a shuttleless loom that propels the yarn through a warp shed using a jet of air. It is one of two types of fluid-jet looms, the other being the water-jet loom. It is easy to automate, and has a low noise level.

Shuttleless loom
The shuttleless air jet loom uses compressed air as the medium of weft insertion. The jet of air pushes the weft yarn through the shed, creating a high-yielding fabric. The shuttleless air jet loom is ideal for weaving light and medium-weight yarns. It is also quiet and simple to use.

Low noise level
An air jet loom produces a low noise level. The loom uses a motor and a drive pulley to move the reed. A nylon coated cable drives the pulley. In addition, the reed is in two parts - a top channel 13 and a bottom channel 12. The top channel is located along the bottom of the frame, and the bottom channel is exposed at the top.

The air jet loom has few moving parts and a lower noise level than a rapier loom. The standard air jet loom width is 190 cm. The air jet loom also has some drawbacks. The air jet can buckle the tip of the yarn and cause pile-ups. It can also loom the weft yarn in the wrong direction or cause it to double pick.

High productivity
The air jet loom is a highly productive loom that combines high performance with low manufacturing requirements. It has an extremely high insertion rate and is used for standard and special fabric production. Its features include an additive disk type tensioner that maintains correct tension on the weft yarn. It also has a weft break sensor that detects weft breaks in the region between the weft package and the accumulator. If the weft break occurs, the loom automatically stops weaving.

The air jet loom is very productive, thanks to its smooth warp shed, balanced beating system, and efficient weft insertion. It also features low vibrations and comes with a free drum pooling system, which stabilizes insertion.

Easy to automate
A modern air jet loom is easy to automate. It has a microprocessor that controls all the mechanical functions. It also features a bi-directional communication system that allows the machine to transfer operational data, designs, and adjustments over the Internet. This air jet loom is based on the rapier loom and shares more than 65% of its electronic components and accessories. It also features a touch screen user interface.

The main features of an air jet loom are its ease of operation and productivity. Its warp shedding is smooth, the beat system is well balanced, and the insertion process is among the best. It also has low noise levels. The downside of an air jet loom is that it requires the operator to change the revolving speed of its main shaft. This means changing the transmission ratio and belt to adjust the speed.
