Kinematic Design and Ideal Dimensioning of New Highly Dynamic Drive Assemblies for Knitting and Braiding Machines

摘要

The paper deals with the kinematic design and the ideal dimensioning of highly dynamic drive assemblies using MCAD strategies. The procedure is explained step by step by the example of a round braider construction. The analysis of the general mechanical principle and the definition of boundary conditions and objective criteria is our top priority. Innovative potential to increase performance and improve meshwork quality lies in the highly dynamic drive assembly to lay the threads. For a newly developed, non-linear mechanical drive concept, feasibility studies up to dimensional synthesis and draft analysis are demonstrated.
