In the 21st century, the world's high technology is developing rapidly, and the crossover, penetration, and integration between different technological disciplines are becoming increasingly common. This cross-fertilization has in turn promoted the development of high technology at a faster pace, and also promoted the technological progress of traditional industries.
As far as the development of rapier machines is concerned, technological progress is mainly manifested in the direction of short processes, continuous, automation, high quality, and high speed, and presents new development trends of intelligence, network, generalization, and greening.
Intelligent Trend Of Rapier Machine
Modern textile equipment set, especially some rapier machines in the use of light, machine, electricity, pneumatic, hydraulic, and other new technological achievements. It uses a high-performance industrial controller with a CPU as the core to complete complex arithmetic and complex logic control, as well as fast real-time response to various instructions and high-speed through-flood. Programmable controllers, 32-bit microcontrollers, PC platforms, etc. are commonly used industrial controllers, of which 32-bit microcontrollers have been increasingly used in recent years.
The new drive technology is also more widely used, such as frequency control, DC brushless motor speed control, servo control, linear motors, and so on, whose main technical characteristics are high power, high precision, and intelligence. A variety of new sensors in Textile equipment _ on the application, for the monitoring of equipment, and control to provide accurate data information. The combination of these new technologies combination, the new loom is equipped with intelligent control functions, such as various process parameters of the textile production process, Online detection, display, automatic control and automatic adjustment of operating status, and automatic troubleshooting. Advanced man-machine interface systems such as touch screens, wireless communication interfaces, etc. are popularized, making information exchange more direct and equipment control easier. Modern rapier machines are developing in the direction of intelligence.
Network Trend Of Rapier Machine
The maturity and application of industrial network technology have made a qualitative leap in control technology and created conditions for application in textile production and management, the most important of which is the maturity and application of Fieldbus technology. Its emergence has prompted the transition of rapier machine control systems from the centralized control system (DCS) to the Fieldbus control system (FCS).
More and more companies have launched hosts, auxiliary machines, and corresponding software systems with network connectivity, and network technology has become an important means of modernizing textiles. Especially for rapier machines, it enables the machine operation data to be monitored in real-time.
With the help of networking, the operability of the rapier machine operation for each level of information transmission is improved, the quality problems in production are displayed on the terminal for the first time, realizing real-time centralized monitoring, making the product quality more stable, the rapier machine operation performance and efficiency are significantly improved, the operator can remotely control the operation of the equipment, improving the operation efficiency and reducing labor costs.
Managers can manage and control production plants located in different locations from anywhere in the world via the Internet, making it possible to manage borderless business operations. Sales staff can quickly feed back orders and consumption information to the production chain for quick response. Technicians can receive uninterrupted technical support from equipment manufacturers, quickly perform remote troubleshooting and diagnosis, and improve the efficiency of rapier machine operation.
Generalization Trend Of Rapier Machine
Efficiency and speed are limited, in fact, in recent years the textile equipment in the speed of operation is not obvious. In order to adapt to the needs of the textile market of small quantities, multiple varieties, fast delivery and rapid changes, the adaptability, and flexibility of textile equipment have been paid more attention to in recent years, and the generalized equipment has gradually become a hot spot for technology development.
The adaptability of rapier machines is increasing, and they are gradually becoming universal weaving equipment. In addition, new rapier machines generally adopt variable speed weaving technology and weft density variable technology.
The so-called variable speed weaving is the programmed control of the rapier machine speed through the new motor drive system, to achieve variable speed operation, the speed difference up to 100r/min. This technology allows the rapier machine to change the production speed according to the different raw materials, and thus the variety adaptability is greatly improved. Variable weft density technology is to change the weft density of the fabric during the weaving process through programmed control of electronic warp feeding and weft winding, allowing for the production of products with more complex structures.
In terms of varietal change flexibility, Quick Style Change (QSC) technology appeared in the early 1990s on weaving machines based on treadle openings and dobby openings.
More recently, QSC systems based on jacquard openings with newly designed, easy-to-load healds have emerged, enabling significantly shorter varietal change times in jacquard weaving.
Greening Trend Of Rapier Machine
The development of textile technology, taking rapier machine as an example, another important goal of it is green production, that is, to achieve low energy consumption, water consumption, dyeing, and chemical material consumption, low noise, less flutter or dust, less waste water, waste gas, waste residue emissions of clean production.
The above is about the development trends of the rapier machine, I hope it will be helpful to you.
