Recent innovations in loom shedding mechanisms

摘要

The critical analysis of the recent research developments in the loom shedding mechanisms has been reported. The use of angle shedding disks without dynamic warp loading in multi-phase weaving machines enables to weave higher pick densities and difficult varieties of fabrics. Other researches have been directed towards more effective heald movements and better design of shedding cams. The paper also highlights the various developments related to these areas and provides scope for further research in the shedding mechanisms.
