A new type of microprocessor controlled positive dobby

摘要

A new microprocessor controlled positive dobby has been developed which is converted from model Staubli 2521, a negative mechanical control dobby. The new model has been proved to be practicable by motion simulation and a prototype. The main construction is simpler than that of many present positive dobbies, such as Staubli 2232 and Staubli 2600 series. The new model is expected to perform better than Staubli 2232.
