  • Patent number: 11866859
    Abstract: A textile machine (4) for a weaving loom having an input shaft which is coupled to a weaving loom. The drive mechanism is driven by the input shaft to move frames or collars of the weaving loom through a sequence of predefined positions. The electronic control device is programmed to monitor the change in position of each frame or collar during each step of the predefined sequence of positions and to count the number of times each frame or collar reproduces a particular configuration.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10294588
    Abstract: This control system (100) for at least one Jacquard mechanism (4) for forming shed has electromechanical selection devices (20) including magnets, a primary controller (70) intended to communicate with a weaving machine (2) and including at least one memory (76) to store weave pattern data and at least one computer (74). This system also includes at least two secondary controllers (40A, 40B), each electrically connected to the primary controller (70) and each able to control a group of electromechanical selection devices (20), each secondary controller having at least one memory (46A, 46B) for storing weave pattern data, at least one computer (44A, 44B), and control units (30) for the electromagnets belonging to the electromechanical selection devices (20). This system further includes at least one intermediate controller (50) in direct electrical connection, with one of the secondary controllers (40A, 40B) and with at least two electromagnet control units (30).
