The pneumatically driven take-up is unique in the industry and provides a wide range of pickage. AVL's tension system is highly sensitive and maintains a constant tension from start to finish.Ĭloth Take-Up: A slip-free, gear-driven, take-up with a special sliding pick density system is a highlight of the loom. The loom can use either one or two individually tensioned sectional or standard warp beams. Warp Let-Off: Warp tension is controlled by AVL's celebrated Automatic Warp Tension system. The IDL's four-by-four flyshuttle beater is a remarkably versatile device that saves time and money.

So, the user can control each aspect of the weaving to make adjustments or changes as needed. In manual mode, each loom function can be individually controlled, including: advance, dobby, shuttle, and beater. There is also a switch for toggling between automatic and manual operation. Push-Button Operation: A control panel in the center of the loom includes push-buttons for the following operations: start, pause, stop, and emergency stop. The number and intensity of the spiked rings can be changed for different fabric weights. Color can be alternated automatically or defined on a pick by pick basis.Įach IDL is equipped with industrial-style adjustable temples. The color is controlled directly from the controlling computer. If the shuttle isn't seen there, it won't be thrown, which adds to the safety of the operator.Ĭolor Selection: The IDL comes equipped with a 4x4 shuttle-box system. The photo sensors, for example, are used to see whether there's a shuttle in a box. Photo sensors and reed switches are used to sense all motions and send them back to the control unit for constant monitoring of the system. Sensor Control: Another unique feature of the IDL is the strategic use of sensors throughout the loom. Using pneumatics in conjunction with advanced electronics increase longevity decreases vibration and makes the loom clean and easy-to-maintain. These high-grade materials result in a smooth action which will require virtually no attention.Īdvanced Pneumatic Drive The IDL is driven entirely by air. A newly re-designed Dobby mechanism features a machined plate that rides on specially manufactured slide rods and linear bearings. When linked to the controlling computer, patterns can be changed in a matter of seconds. The lifting motion is controlled by a standard twenty-four harness AVL Compu-Dobby®. The loom is fully automated with push-button control and utilizes powerloom technology to simulate hand weaving. The AVL Industrial Dobby Loom offers a wide range of weaving options for industrial sampling or small scale production.
