Hi guys,
Today I were at a sack producing factory.
At the woven line there was a circular loom (like the typical below picture but it had 4 shuttles).
I am not sure how many of you have seen a such device, but it mixes
the warp and ther woof and produces an integrated sack.
The device stops working automatically when a woof (those innumerable strings which seem to be the radius of the circle in the picture!) is broken or
cut off. But unfortunately there is not a such option for warps which come out of the 4 SHUTTLES (I have shown a shuttle by a blue line), when the shuttle's string cuts off the device keeps working and produces an odd sack.
Unluckily the shuttle rotates both along its axis and along the circle (the raising sack) (I have shown it by those 2 read lines).
The electric technician of the factory asked me if I am able to solve the problem?
I used a mirror and an INFRA RED system to solve the problem. The mirror were mounted on the shuttle's string so that it were hidden till the string were cut off, after that the mirror came out and reflect the infra red light which were emitted of the infrared system and by this trick the loom were stoped.
Now they want me to think of another way to do a similar task but does not CONTACT to the shuttle's string.
As I mentioned before the shuttle has 2 kinds of rotation so I am not able to handle it by any external power. When shuttle's string is broken the shuttle stops rotating along its axis (not along the circle, as you know).
Does every body know any solution please?
Thanks a bunch
