JACQUARD MACHINES LX 1602 / LX 3202

STÄUBLI KNOW-HOW FOR ALL TYPES OF WEAVING

Exacting requirements and high-performanceStäubli shedding machines guar-antee optimal performance and profitability. They perfectly ful-fill weaving machine and shed forming requirements. Shed geometries, openings and ad-justments are almost unlimited. Weave modifications are extreme-ly flexible and can be changed rapidly. With a cam motion, a do-bby or Jacquard machine, Stäubli systems allow you to get the most out of weaving machines owing to transmission systems, quick frame connects or through a cus-tom made harness or carbon fibre frames. Stäubli attaches major importance to the reliability and user friendliness of its shed form-ing machines.

EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE

LX 3202

FOR FLAT FABRICS AND TERRY CLOTH

The LX concept of these ma-chines, which includes the pat-ented M6 module, guarantees op-timal profitability in terms of fabric manufacturing. A system of coax-ial shafts controlled by additional cams in an oil bath extremely simplifies the kinematics. Perfect balancing of all mobile elements allows both the LX 1602 and the

LX 3202 to operate with precision and without vibration, even at the highest speeds. The reinforced kinematics and the rigid built-in frame allow for increased load of 30 % versus the previous ver-sions depending on the formats. These machines are particularly reliable and easy-to-use.

AN EXTENSIVE RANGE OF USE

The LX 1602 and LX 3202 ma-chines can be used on air jet, rapier or projectile weaving ma-chines. They are designed to be used at high speeds in all for-mats.

These Jacquard machines offer excellent results in all applica-tions, including terry cloth, up-holstery fabric, decoration, silk, clothing, automotive seat fabric, Gobelins type fabric or airbags. The load limits are particularly adapted to these types of fabric.

Owing to Stäubli's know-how, Jacquard machines and har-nesses are perfectly adapted to weaving machines to guarantee optimal installation output.

An automatic pick search device and JC6-controlled electronic sel-vage movement are available as an option.

The electronic Jacquard ma-chines LX 1602 and LX 3202 are especially suited to the fabrica-tion of flat fabrics and terry cloth at high speeds. They can be con-figured with number of hooks re-quired for the weaving operation. The range is available from 1408 to 5120 hooks for the LX 1602 machines, and from 6144 to 14336 for the LX 3202 machines. Assembling two Jacquard ma-chines together allows formats up to 24576 hooks.

PERFECTED TECHNOLOGY

CONTROLLER

Each machine has its own electri-cal power supply and is equipped with an electronic controller, including a JC6 colour touch screen. This user-friendly inter-face between the user and the LX features the latest generation of microprocessor. A flash disk of

advanced technology replaces hard drive technology and pat-terns can be transferred alterna-tively via USB key, external drive or the network. The latter offers multiple possibilities and facili-tates weaving room management or several remote sites.

TRANSMISSION

The LX 1602 and LX 3202 ma-chines are delivered with the pre-installed adaptation elements required for each type of weav-ing machine. The transmission is based on a cardan drive with bev-

el gears, whose position is deter-mined according to the weaving machine to optimize the cardan shaft angle. For wide reed spaces or special articles, the cams are calculated judiciously.

SIMPLIFIED KINEMATICS

The double roller enables the up-per and lower shed position of the harness cords in double lift.

The kinematics of Stäubli Jacquard machines is characterised by:

Controlled by a single cam housing running in an oil bathAn extremely simplified trans-mission via a coaxial shaft system

Upper shed positionThe electromagnet (f) is not acti-vated. The retaining hook (c) re-tains the mobile hook (a).

Low shed positionThe electromagnet (f) is activated. The retaining hook (c) does not retain the mobile hook (a) which follows the lowering knife (e).

THE M6 MODULE

The patented M6 module ensures the connection between the lift-ing mechanism and the harness. Compact, and engineered from composite materials, the M6 module is sealed and wear re-sistant and consumes very little energy. The new module design M6 offers additional advantages versus the M5 module thanks to the opti-mized polar contact and reduced space.

The rollers built into the module make hooking and unhooking the harness cords easy. It is equipped with the QUICK LINK system to re-duce the harness change time.

Depending on how loads involved, the M6 module is equipped with either two plain bearings (ver-sion A) or two ball bearings (ver-sion B). Module replacement is easy and quick.

Owing to their compact design and numerous configuration possibilities, the LX 1602 and LX 3202 machines adapt easily to all weaving requirements. They can be easily adapted into existing plants having just a small amount of available space. The connections with the harness allow easy installation and thus reduce start-up time. Thanks to its simple operation, personnel training time is re-duced; the weaving installation thus is operational much faster.

Reduced maintenanceDuring the Jacquard machine design phase, Stäubli engineers addressed the specific needs and problems of weaving installa-tions. The robust construction of LX 1602 and LX 3202 machines is adapted to daily use. Even in a highly dusty environ-

ment, the machines require only a minimum amount of mainte-nance. The Jacquard machine's maintenance program can be managed automatically via the JC6 controller. The optimized housing design of the Jacquard machine facilitates access to the various elements

of the machine and prevent dust from entering. The reduced space requirement of the M6 module improves the air circulation. For the LX 3202 machine, the filters and fans are installed vertically, in order to pro-tect them from the linters.

QUICK LINK ®

Thanks to Stäubli's know-how, our harnesses are designed for all applications: labels, silk goods, lining, clothing, upholstery fabrics, table and bed linen, automotive seats, airbags, bedspreads, terry cloth, pile fabric and carpets.

Our harness specialists have de-veloped a line of harness cords, heddles and springs depending on the article, the characteristics of the warp yarn and the weaving conditions.

The QUICK LINK connection sys-tem was developed for speedy hooking and unhooking of the harness cord.

HARNESSES

BLOBAR BLOWING SYSTEM

Designed to facilitate the clean-ing of harness springs, Stäubli developed the BLOBAR automatic blowing system, at the back of the

downpull frame. The pneumatic blowing device limits fly deposit and facilitates manual cleaning.

A DETAILED LOOK AT AN ADVANTAGEOUS INSTALLATION

The comber boards are made and drilled to customer specifications.

The links between the harness cords and the heddles, the hed-dles and the springs are designed to meet all your needs.
