Study on Information Management System of Rapier Loom

In order to guarantee the quality of textile fabric and to improve the efficiency of loom, single-chip microcomputer MC68336, sensors and display are utilized to form a comprehensive information management system (IMS) of rapier loom. In this system, the main operating parameters of the loom such as tension of warp and weft yarns and weft density, etc. may be adjusted conveniently according to the requirement of variety of textile fabric, and real-time detection and display of these parameters are available. Besides, the system also provides storage, transmission and printing of test data, images and tables, monitors dynamic parameters and controls main parameters, and manages information resource in a unified way. Therefore, high-efficiency, flexible and comfortable operation of rapier loom may be realized.
