Projectile Braking and Return Transport
topic
Arriving projectiles are decelerated by a receiving brake system that absorbs kinetic energy without damaging the projectile or disturbing the inserted weft end, with a return chain conveyor transporting the braked projectile along the bottom of the machine back to the picking side where it is loaded onto the picking mechanism for the next insertion cycle from a magazine holding 12 to 18 projectiles in continuous circulation.
Role
Completes the projectile return cycle that enables continuous weaving without projectile accumulation at the receiving side, with brake energy absorption capacity and consistency determining whether projectiles arrive at consistent positions for clean weft release, and return conveyor reliability governing the continuity of projectile supply to the picking position that is prerequisite for uninterrupted weaving.
