Projectile Transport and Return System
topic
After receiving at the opposite selvedge, projectiles are returned under the loom on a link chain conveyor system that carries each projectile from the receiving side back to the picking side, with the transport chain maintaining a set of typically 17 projectiles cycling continuously through the propulsion, flight, receiving, and return phases, with chain tension and projectile pickup timing at the picking side requiring precise mechanical adjustment for reliable projectile handoff to the propulsion mechanism.
Role
Maintains the continuous cycling of the projectile set that is the operational foundation of projectile weaving, with transport chain reliability being critical for consistent pick rate since any chain jam or projectile mishandling stops the weaving cycle and requires manual intervention, making transport system maintenance a priority for achieving the high machine efficiency that projectile loom economics require.
