The producer of weaving and weaving preparation machines Tsudakoma Corporation Japan Ltd., Kanazawa/Japan, presents the new Zaxneo001 air-jet weaving machine, which excels for strong energy saving and high-speed production. The special frame structure, the direct gear drive and the advanced beating system are the new modules. The TAP Tsudakoma Advanced Platform realizes significant increase in working rpm, 30% reduction in vibration compared with the previous model, and advanced weaving performance. Stable start-up due to the direct gear drive ensures high grade weaving even for delicate fine yarns without compromising quality.
In addition to optimizing the nozzles, valves, and control technology that are the basis of weft insertion, usability has also been improved with easy settings and adjustments, further enhancing weft insertion performance. In addition, the combination with TAP creates a significant reduction in air consumption and low pressure in high-speed operation. The cam beating installed in the wide width high-speed loom allows greater versatility with a longer weft insertion timing, high-speed weaving by positioning the first heald frame closer to the beating point and further energy savings. The in-house developed heald frame is highly robust and light and is designed for ultra-high-speed operation.
