  • Patent number: 6962172
    Abstract: A textile machine comprising at least one frame (2) supporting a plurality of healds (3), a sickle (6), a needle (8), a compacting device (201) and a main shaft (12) for a synchronized movement of the frames (2), sickle (6), needle (8) and compacting device (201) and manufacture of a textile product (5); the machine (1) further comprises a first feeding member (20) to supply a plurality of warp yarns (18) to said healds, a second feeding member (40) to supply at least one weft yarn (19) to said sickle and a take-down member (60) of said textile product (5). The machine (1) is also provided with a control apparatus (80) comprising at least one first electromechanical actuator (30) operatively active on said first or second feeding member (20, 40) or on said take-down member (60) for movement of the same, and a controller (90) for regulation of at least said first actuator (30).

  • Patent number: 6959566
    Abstract: A textile machine comprising a needle bar (6) carrying a plurality of needles (7), a guide bar (8) carrying a plurality of eye-pointed needles (9) and at least one carrier slide bar (10) carrying a plurality of threading tubes (11); the machine (1) further comprises a main shaft (12) for a synchronised movement of the bars (6, 7, 8) and manufacture of a textile product (5), a first feeding member (20) to feed at least one weft yarn (19) to said threading tubes (11), a second feeding member (40) to feed a plurality of warp yarns (18) to said eye-pointed needles (9) and a take-down member (60) to draw said textile product (5). The machine (1) is also provided with a control apparatus (80) comprising at least one first electromechanical actuator (30), operatively active on said first or second feeding members (20, 40) or on said take-down member (60) for movement of same and a controller (90) for regulation of at least said first actuator (30).

  • Patent number: 6895786
    Abstract: A control device for textile machines, in particular for crochet machines, comprising an electric motor (10) having an output shaft (11) drivable in rotation and a first reduction gear (12) interposed between the output shaft (11) and a knitting member (13) of a textile machine. The device (1) further comprises drive means (14) to power and control the motor (10), and detecting means (15) to detect a main parameter (100) representative of a position of the knitting member (13) and to generate a corresponding main signal (110); said main signal incorporates the main parameter (100) and is destined to the drive means (14) regulating power supply to the motor (10) depending on the main parameter (100).
