5. Working Principle
Warp unwinding: Multiple groups of warp wire are released from double warp beams and neatly threaded through heald frames and reed to form ordered warp layers.
Shed forming: Driven by crank-link transmission structure, heald frames reciprocate up and down alternately to form a gap (shed) between upper and lower warp wires.
Weft insertion: The shuttle loaded with weft wire slides horizontally through the shed to complete one weft wire penetration.
Beating-up: The reed moves forward tightly to compact the newly inserted weft wire and fix the standard mesh aperture size.
Constant-traction winding: The woven wire mesh is evenly rolled onto the take-up roller under stable traction. The above cycle repeats continuously to form complete mesh rolls.
6. Complete Wire Mesh Production Process
Raw material incoming inspection: Test wire diameter, surface coating and tensile strength; eliminate brittle, cracked and unqualified metal wire.
Warp beam winding: Wind qualified warp wire onto warp beams neatly without overlapping or tangling.
Machine threading: Pass each warp wire through heald eyes and reed gaps strictly according to customized mesh hole parameters.
Shuttle bobbin loading: Wind weft wire on small bobbins and install bobbins inside the loom shuttle.
Parameter setting: Adjust weaving speed, warp tension and mesh width on the digital control panel.
Trial weaving: Produce a short test mesh to inspect aperture uniformity; adjust tension or speed if defective mesh occurs.
Mass automatic production: Start continuous automatic weaving; the machine automatically winds finished mesh into standard rolls.
Post-processing: Cut mesh rolls to required length, conduct full surface quality inspection, then pack and store finished goods.
7. Standard Operation Procedures
Pre-operation Preparation
Clean dust and residual broken wires on the machine body; check lubricant level of crankshaft, bearings and gears, replenish grease when insufficient.
Inspect all electric circuits, emergency stop button and broken-wire sensors to confirm normal operation.
Install warp beams and shuttle bobbins firmly, adjust initial warp tension to standard technical parameters.
Running Operation
Switch on the power of electric control cabinet and set target production parameters on the operation screen.
Jog the machine at low speed to test mechanical movement; stop operation and troubleshoot if jamming or abnormal noise appears.
Switch to automatic mode for formal weaving; patrol machine operating status every 30 minutes.
Pause the machine to replace weft bobbins once the wire inside shuttle is exhausted.
Post-shutdown Steps
Stop automatic running after finishing a complete mesh roll and cut off the woven mesh tidily.
Disconnect the main power supply, clean waste wires and debris inside the loom, and lubricate all moving parts for the next production shift.
8. Safety & Maintenance Precautions
Safety Operation Rules
Operators must wear close-fitting work clothes; long hair must be covered with hairnets to avoid winding into rotating moving parts.
Strictly forbid putting hands into shuttle running zone, heald frame and beating reed while the machine is powered on.
Press the emergency stop button immediately when jamming, abnormal noise or wire winding failure happens; maintenance work can only be carried out after full machine stop.
Only professional maintenance technicians are allowed to open the electric control cabinet; random modification of internal circuits is prohibited.
Daily Maintenance Notes
Lubricate all rotating bearings daily; implement full inspection of transmission components every week.
Clean photoelectric sensors regularly to prevent dust from causing auto-stop system malfunctions.
Do not process metal wire beyond the machine’s rated diameter range to avoid equipment overload damage.
Keep the workshop dry and ventilated to prevent damp-induced short circuit of electrical components.
Conduct comprehensive machine overhaul every 3–6 months, replace severely worn shuttles, reeds and other vulnerable spare parts in a timely manner.
