The
Dracup HS2000
is a high speed horizontally end mounted computerised pattern maker. Designed for high speed
operation in producing names, motifs, symbols etc. in all types of woven
fabrics.
Dracup HS2000 pattern makers are also designed to work in conjunction with the
very latest generation of modern weaving machines.
Electronic
Selection
The selection mechanism is totally electronic and controlled by means
of electro magnets and selectors. The main drive in the weaving head
is by robust con rod generating a linear lifting motion to the 'knife'
mechanism. The selectors are contained within modules each holding 32
positions and driven with dedicated ASIC electronics.
Independent
Drive System
The HS2000 may be driven from
either, the host weaving machine via mechanical linkage, or through an
electronic resolver controlling a servo motor within the pattern maker. The
Dracup servo motor system eliminates complex linkages between the weaving
machine and the pattern maker and is particularly suited to airjet machines.
Synchronization
between the weaving machine and the HS2000
is maintained, with both forms of drive, in both forward and reverse modes
by the Dracup Loom controllers. This automatically ensures that faulty
startup errors are eliminated in the fabrics being woven.
Lift
Range
In its standard form lifts can be generated from 60mm to 90mm. With the
addition of an optional double lift unit this can be increased to a range
of 120mm to 180mm.
