Design and Analysis of Picking Mechanism of Shuttle Loom

Darji Yugalkishor M. | Kaushal P. Khamar

Abstract: Shuttle Loom is one of the oldest machine of weaving for fabrics. To obtain minimum power consumption, detail analysis of other axillary mechanism called Picking, Checking, and Take-up, Beat-up, Let-off is required. The function of Picking and Checking Mechanism is to apply brake to shuttle, and prepare the shuttle for next picking cycle. It uses spring loaded swell to retard the shuttle. Due to retardation velocity of the shuttle decreases to zero. If brake do not release at time of picking, then it require more power for picking. Due to this some of the picking parts are under over-stress, so Picking Stick, Picking Shaft Bearing (Bracket), Picking shaft brake-down before its permissible life.
