New Tsudakoma (ZAX 9100) weaving machine is having 'Air mode' software for minimisation of air consumption. This software is used to control air consumption by controlling drive time of sub-nozzle valves automatically and is controlled by microprocessor. Air mode is having different cut off percentages. As fewer air consumption is our prime aim, we can go with increased air modes like 0,-1,-2,-3 up to -6. This will give considerable reduction in air consumption. However, as we go higher side to save air there will be chances of increase in filling problem and related damages to the fabric. There should be optimisation of 'Air mode' for different sorts of fabric. This will give considerable reduction in compressed air without hampering the fabric quality (defects like loops, loose picks) and also help to maintain rate of filling stops. This software is new one so therefore we need to go for optimisation of 'Air mode' for different sorts, counts and widths. From this study we can save compressed air which will help to reduce cost of fabric production, thus achieving considerable cost savings which would be beneficial to company.
