Weaving Machine
The desire for higher fabric quality is also leading the manufacturers of textile machines, such as weaving machines, to use Harmonic Drive® strain wave gearing. One of the major problems regarding fabric quality is “start-marks”, which are caused by relaxation of the fabric while the machine is at a standstill. This design example shows a special gearbox used for the fabric take-up drive in a rapier-weaving machine. The HDUC component set is mounted in a cast-iron housing and is provided with an output shaft. This drives the fabric beam via a spur gear stage. The Wave Generator, as the input element, is mounted directly on the motor shaft.
