Shaft and Heddle Management Systems
topic
Weaving preparation department shaft and heddle management tracks heddle inventory per shaft, monitors heddle wear and damage requiring replacement, and coordinates shaft assembly preparation including heddle distribution and shaft framing before drawing-in, with automatic heddle counters verifying that the correct number of heddles per shaft is loaded before drawing-in begins to prevent heddle shortage stops during the drawing-in process.
Role
Maintains the heddle inventory and shaft assembly quality that determine drawing-in machine uptime and threading accuracy, with heddle count verification before drawing-in preventing the drawing-in machine stops caused by heddle shortage that interrupt production and require manual shaft loading while the drawing-in machine waits with a partially drawn warp beam.
