Jacquard Shedding Technology and Hook Systems
topic
Electronic jacquard shedding systems control individual hooks connected to heald wires through harness cords, with each hook independently selected up or down on each pick by individual electromagnets according to pattern data from digital design systems, enabling individual control of 2688 to 20480 individual heald wires per jacquard head for unlimited motif complexity in silk, damask, and jacquard fashion fabrics.
Role
Provides the ultimate weave structure flexibility of individual end control that enables production of complex jacquard motifs, portraits, and photographic designs in woven fabric with pattern repeat limited only by heald capacity rather than shaft count, making jacquard weaving the technology for decorative fabric, luxury silk weaving, and artistic textile production requiring design complexity beyond any multi-shaft dobby capability.
