MagnetWeft – Magnetic Weft Insertion in weaving machines
The object of the invention was hence to develop a weaving method of weft insertion that combines the advantages of the common methods whilst avoiding their deficits. This will be achieved with a magnetic projectile which is used for the guided transport of the yarn. The projectile is moved through the open shed by magnets, which are mounted on a belt. The belt is located outside of the shed. Multiple projectiles can be used simultaneously to ensure a high efficiency of the weft insertion.
The magnetic weft insertion represents an energy-efficient alternative to the standard weft insertion methods. The fact that production velocities of yarns with challenging processing characteristics can be similar to the ones of standard yarns is certainly an advantage. In magnetic weft insertion no source of compressed air is necessary, a reduction of energy consumption of about 60 % compared to a conventional air jet weaving machine is to be achieved.
