Shuttleless looms began to appear in 1844. Flexible rapier looms started in 1925. After World War II, commercial production was realized in the 1950s and 1960s, and significant progress was gradually made. At present, the rapier weft insertion rate reached 1500m/ min or more.

There are many classifications of looms. According to the weaving method, they can be divided into shuttle looms and shuttleless looms. Many friends asked how to adjust the opening time of shuttle looms. Now take you to understand.

The rapier loom is a shuttleless loom that uses a reciprocating sword-like rod to fork or clamp the weft into the shed. The weft insertion method of the rapier loom is to fork or clamp the weft yarn with a reciprocating rapier, and introduce the weft yarn on the fixed bobbin outside the machine into......

To judge whether the fabric is a sword woven fabric or an air-jet fabric, you can see from the fabric edge weave:Normally, the polyester-cotton thread is a rapier loom (semming device), and the filament is air-jet woven (planetary gear device)

Rapier looms have unique advantages in variety adaptability, but the weft insertion rate is lower than that of air-jet looms, only 1400m/min, which is about 50% of that of air-jet looms; the silk return rate is higher than other shuttleless looms.
