Suntech successfully developed the fastest weaving machine of the ST series
On September 1, 2021, Jacky, the principal of SUNTECH, announced the news of the new rapier loom on his official Facebook account and LinkedIn official account: rapier loom, win in speed! Then on September 10, Suntech added the ST-ERL-808 page on Suntech’s official website and published an advertisement. A set of real shot pictures of 808 ultrafast start rapier loom appeared on the homepage of the social media platform, and a text introduced it. Some of the basic performance of this loom, it is worth noting that this loom has reached the peak speed of the loom industry: Max. Design Speed 800RPM.
Industry research data reports in recent years show that there is still a big gap between Chinese looms and foreign advanced rapier looms in terms of working speed, movement accuracy and reliability. How to solve the contradiction between the working speed of high-speed rapier looms and the weaving performance, and make the products develop to high stability, high speed and high precision has become an urgent problem in the design and manufacture of high-speed looms in China.
After nearly 50 years of accumulation of textile machinery manufacturing experience and nearly 10 years of domestic and foreign industry research on looms, Suntech Research Institute finally developed ST series rapier looms in 2021. This series of looms includes all the working performance of modern looms, matches various working environments, and uniquely Suntech's characteristic-innovation.
ST-ERL-808 weaving machine is the latest achievement of ST series, its outstanding feature is extremely fast. This also overcomes the problem of slow looms on the Chinese market. Suntech has made major improvements mainly in two areas: the frame of the loom and the weft joining system.
1. The special material and steel guide rail of the whole machine body can ensure the overall stability of the loom during high-speed operation.
2. The middle conjugate CAM is used to join the weft, which enhances the rigidity of the weft joining mechanism, increases the weft joining force, makes the movement more balanced, and is beneficial to high-speed weaving.
3. The PLC control system has functions such as automatic shutdown, automatic start, automatic weft finding, over-compensation, weft compensation, and automatic fault identification. It can run at full speed from the first beat-up, saving time and improving efficiency.
4. The super-large motor enables the maximum speed of the machine to reach 800rpm, and the stable speed is 550-650rpm.
