SKS-L3, Jacquard Air Jet Loom
it is a type of advanced weaving machine that combines Jacquard technology with air jet weft insertion to produce intricate and high-quality fabrics at high speed. Here’s a breakdown of its key components:
 

1.  Jacquard Mechanism

• The Jacquard system controls individual warp threads, allowing for the creation of complex patterns and designs.
• Unlike regular looms, which move entire groups of warp threads together, the Jacquard mechanism enables precise control over each thread.

2.  Air Jet Weft Insertion

• Instead of using a shuttle or rapier to insert the weft yarn, the loom uses a high-speed air jet to propel the yarn through the warp.
• This makes the process extremely fast, reducing mechanical wear and increasing efficiency.

3.  Advantages of Jacquard Air Jet Looms

• High Speed: Faster than traditional shuttle or rapier looms.
• Complex Designs: Can weave intricate patterns (like brocade, damask, and jacquard fabrics).
• Smooth Fabric: Produces even and high-quality fabric with minimal defects.
• Energy Efficient: Consumes less power compared to water jet looms (as it doesn’t require water).

4.  Applications

• Used in fashion textiles, home furnishings, automotive fabrics, and technical textiles.
• Common for producing luxury and decorative fabrics with intricate woven designs.
