The WL680 series is available in widths from 150cm to 380cm (nine specifications) with a maximum design speed of 720 rpm. It easily handles a wide range of weaving needs – from light, delicate silk to heavy chemical fiber fabrics. Whether traditional cotton/linen or high‑end synthetic textiles, the machine delivers efficient and stable production.
Core Mechanisms for Superior Performance
· Weft Insertion: Driven by a spatial four‑bar linkage. Options include a guide‑free metal rapier head with carbon fiber rapier tape, or a single‑side suspended guide‑type multi‑layer composite rapier tape – reducing wear and improving insertion accuracy and service life.
· Beating‑up: A conjugate cam beating‑up mechanism housed inside a box‑type side frame ensures high rigidity and low vibration, giving a flat, uniform fabric even at high speeds.
· Shedding: Choose an electronic dobby (mounted on the right side) or a jacquard machine with up to 10,000 needles – ideal for complex patterns and high‑density weaves.
· 8‑color electronic weft selection: Easily handles multi‑color weft yarns for rapid, precise pattern changes.
Intelligent Drives, Energy Saving
· Equipped with a switched reluctance motor (1500 Nm / 3000 Nm optional), together with servo‑ or switched‑reluctance‑motor‑based electronic let‑off and electronic take‑up systems. Weft density range: 1–120 picks/cm. Warp beam capacity: φ800 mm or φ1000 mm – ensuring constant tension and even winding.
· Variable speed weaving: The combination of a variable‑speed control system, switched reluctance motor, and hydraulic drive enables dynamic speed changes and slow‑speed operation, adapting to different weaving phases.
· Automatic pick finding: A hydraulic motor drives the motor shaft to disengage the shedding mechanism from the insertion and beating‑up systems, achieving precise reverse shedding and greatly reducing downtime for adjustments.
Full Automation, Easy Operation
Based on a multi‑computer parallel control architecture with a touch‑screen human‑machine interface. Real‑time monitoring of warp tension (via tension sensor) and main shaft angle (via resolver). Functions include:
· Stopping/starting at a defined position
· Slow motion
· Automatic pick finding
· Defect compensation
· Fault diagnosis
· Safety protection
· Automatic zero‑degree calibration
· Automatic timing adjustment of the shed leveling point
These intelligent features significantly lower operator skill requirements and boost continuous running efficiency.
Multiple Lubrication Methods for Durability
Spray lubrication, oil bath lubrication, and grease‑fitting lubrication are all available, ensuring optimal lubrication for key components under different loads and extending machine life.
Conclusion
The WL680 series ultra‑start rapier weaving machine redefines modern rapier weaving performance with its high speed, intelligence, energy efficiency, and easy maintenance. Whether upgrading an existing production line or building a new smart factory, this series is your reliable partner for enhancing competitiveness and achieving lean production.
