Working Principle

The 160D Wire Mesh Loom operates through coordinated interaction between the shedding, weft insertion, beating-up, let-off, and take-up systems.

The bus-control network continuously exchanges data among servo motors, encoders, and PLC controllers. Based on real-time feedback, each mechanism executes precise movements at the correct timing and position.

The warp wires are controlled through the let-off mechanism, while carbon-fiber rapier systems accurately insert weft wires. The beating-up mechanism then compacts the woven structure, and the take-up system collects the finished mesh with consistent tension.

This synchronized process ensures uniform mesh openings and superior weaving accuracy.
