The emergence of electronic jacquard, although there is no major change in the structure of jacquard fabrication, has realized the perfect combination of computer-aided design and production, and completely changes the structure of the jacquard process and the production of jacquard weaving. The electronic jacquard uses the CAD system for fabric design and the disk to transmit the data. It saves the punching program of the mechanical jacquard. It can also be connected to the network, obtain the program from the central computer, and collect the process parameters from the loom.
The electronic jacquard can store multiple weave files and a large amount of information. During the manufacturing process, the information can be used in time on the machine. It can also provide various production statistics, creating conditions for the modernization of management. The electronic jacquard has less downtime, which can effectively improve the efficiency of the loom and reduce the production cost during production. The stop of the electronic jacquard usually occurs when the warp and weft yarns are replaced, while the general dobby loom requires the change of the weaving shaft, the heald frame and the change of the order of the heald, which needs more time and labor, affecting the efficiency of the loom.
