Kinematics of Rotary Dobby and Analysis of Heald Frame Motion in Weaving Process
In this study, a mechanism model is introduced then kinematic design and analysis equations are presented for a rotary dobby. Heald frame motion curve is obtained and analyzed. Mechanism parameters affecting heald frame motion are discussed. It is shown that heald frame motion characteristics were mainly determined by the design of modulator mechanism. Eccentric mechanism of a rotary dobby also had a significant effect on heald frame motion.
