Safety measures The transport of the machine to its final position in the weaving mill must be carried out with extreme
care in order to avoid damage of the machine or injuries of the personnel.
During these activities, the following aspects must be strictly observed:
• Always use appropriate machines and tools in order to lift and move the machine.
• Be sure that all screws and nuts of the used auxiliary tools are tightened with the exact
torque before starting the activities.
• It is very important that the machine remains horizontal in width and in depth while it is lifted
and transported. This prevents distortion of the machine which may lead to serious damage
of some vital parts.
• Always use an appropriate lifting beam to hoist or lift the machine! This lifting beam ensures
due to its setting that the load at the machine's lifting point height is completely vertical.
• Lifting the machine by means of a fork-lift truck is only permitted if an appropriate lifting
beam is used. The lifting point of the lifting beam should always be between the forks of the
fork-lift truck.
The lifting capacity and lifting height of the fork-lift truck must be adequate for the work to be done.
The user should take all safety measures into account!
The first time the machine is started, this must be carried out by a Picanol fitter.
The machine is started “running in”. No warp beam and harness frame may be placed in the
machine until the Picanol fitter has given his permission for it.
During the first 14 days (+/– 300 hours), it is recommended to run the machine at a reduced
speed, around 90% of the nominal speed.

Fixation elements which are part of the guard must never be removed and should always
remain together with that guard.
Faulty fixation elements should be replaced immediately.
If the guard is fixed with nuts, loosen every nut 1 turn and slide out the guard.

Guidelines for constructing a weaving room floor

General • In weaving machines, a lot of parts are moving to and fro. These movements cause dynamic
forces. Although Picanol balances these forces as much as possible, due to the high speeds of
the machines, it is inevitable that these forces also make the surroundings of the machine
tremble.
• Dimensions and frequency of these dynamic forces depend on certain parameters such as
machine type, weaving speed, configuration, shed forming mechanism, fabric type...
• The effect of these forces on the surroundings of the weaving room depend on the weaving room
construction and floor quality.
• The amount of vibrations allowed in the surroundings depend on the location and the rules which
are valid on-site.
• These guidelines are merely recommendations. The calculation, proportion and installation of the
floor and the supporting construction is the responsibility of the weaving room owner.
• The static and dynamic forces exerted by the machine on its surroundings, the type and nature of
the floor and the local and national valid regulations must also be taken into account. Picanol
recommends to consult a professional and specialized engineering office on the above.
Picanol cannot be held responsible for any problems arising from weaving room
construction and the resulting damage to:
- machines (reduced efficiency),
- buildings,
- third parties in the surroundings of the weaving room.

Design of the weaving The design of the weaving room floor can only be described in general terms. Soil conditions of the
room floor, directly on ground may necessitate various adjustments:
the soil • Drain the underground if it contains water. A filter can be used to prevent the underground from
infiltrating into the foundations.
• Provide a fundament of ground stone/rock (with a thickness of minimum 200 mm).
• Lay a layer of concrete (with a thickness of around 300 mm), with steel reinforcement on the
upper and lower side.
• Put a suitable surface layer on top (see Surface layer [20]). This layer may be a part of the
concrete layer.
Floor plates must be separated from walls, foundations and adjoining buildings by using expansion
grooves.

Wear proof surface

Min. 300mm Reinforcing steel net

Concrete

Min 200 mm
Ground rock

Filter
Underground

Design of an over- If a weaving machine is set up on a storey or above a cellar, the load carrying capacity should be at
spanning weaving least 10,000 N/m². These values take the static and dynamic loads of the weaving machine into
room floor account.
Once the position of the weaving machines has been determined, Picanol strongly recommends to
consult a specialized engineering office for the calculation of the technical specifications of the
weaving room floor, because of the dynamic and static forces the weaving machines will impose on
the floor. Remember to also count the mass of the weaving machine.
For the load, one must bear in mind that the weaving machine induces dynamic forces, with a
frequency up to 6 times the number of revolutions of the machine.
In order to prevent any problems, the weaving room floor construction should be as firm as possible.
The vertical frequency of the floor, with the machine in its position, should amount to at least 30 Hz.
If not, consult a specialized engineering office.

EN160410N Installing the machine > Mechanical installation 19 / 56

Surface layer The smoothness of the floor must comply with the diagram below:

less than less than

0.5 mm 0.3 mm

2 mm or less
Height differences on different machine supports (left vs. right, front vs. back) must be less than
2 mm. The roughness of the surface under the machine support must be less than 0.5 mm. The
height difference underneath the foot must be less than 0.3 mm.
Different surface layers are possible: polished concrete layer, synthetic layer (epoxy, polyester,
resin), tiles, ...
The surface layer should have the following properties:
• resistant to high pressure;
• resistant to wear;
• resistant to different chemicals (oil, petroleum, common acids and bases);
• anti skid;
• tough.
The connection between the surface and the lower layer must offer enough resistance against
horizontal forces.
The maximum vertical pressure load amounts to about 100 N/cm² (localized load of 20,000 N on an
area of 100 x 200 mm).
It is very important for the general stability of the machine during weaving that the floor space
under each machine leg is flat and in close contact with the leg.
Irregularities of the floor create excessive vibrations.

Installing the Picanol The washer plates are equipped with sound insulation pads. In principle, the Picanol weaving
machines machines should not be bolted to the floor. A 2-component epoxy glue is delivered with the machine
for gluing the machine to the floor. Using washer plates other than those delivered by Picanol is
strongly advised against.
If you experience specific vibration problems, please contact the technical staff of Picanol who will, in
consultation with external consultants, find a suitable solution. They will find a suitable solution, in
consultation with external consultants.

Conclusion The precise position of a Picanol weaving machine on a correctly dimensioned and constructed floor
will not only prevent damage to the building and complaints from the neighbors, low vibration levels
will also guarantee an extended longevity and reliability of the machines.

Weaving room floor The weaving room floor must comply with the industrial floors standard DIN 18202.
standards in case of This standard allows an unevenness of 4 mm/m - 10 mm/4m.
QSC
If the floor is not constructed in line with this standard, problems may occur with regard to:
• insertion/removal of the module into/from the weaving machine;
• transport of warp components (wheels, control);
• safety (attaching the module on the Warpy).

Levelling the machine
General The levelling is carried out in depth with an accuracy of 0,3 mm/m and in width with an accuracy of 1
mm/m.
The levelling of the machine is a very important factor for the productivity and the life of the
machine. The precision used to level the machine influences the correct working and the life
of all movable parts. This also influences the productivity and fabric quality. Therefore, the
machine must be levelled with extreme care. At Picanol all precision settings are carried out
on a machine which is perfectly levelled.

Auxiliary tools The following table describes the different auxiliary tools:
Auxiliary tools for levelling the machine are:
• a levelling instrument with an accuracy of
0,3 mm/m;
• two hydraulic lifting jacks;
• a lifting hook.
The lifting hook is used to support the front side of a
frame.
The back side is jacked up by means of the warp
beam support.

Conditions of the floor .

It is very important for the general stability of the machine during weaving that the floor space
under each machine leg is flat and in close contact with the leg.
Irregularities of the floor create excessive vibrations.
See: ‘Weaving room floor’ section.

Check points Proceed as follows to check the levelling:

Vibration damping To reduce the ground vibration, an anti vibration kit can be mounted underneath the machine,
instead of the standard pads. This reduces the floor vibration by 20 to 50%.
The anti vibration kit is composed of:
• vibration dampers “A”, at the front of the machine,
• washers “B”, at the back of the machine.
As the weight of the left-hand side of the machine differs from the weight of the right-hand
side of the machine, both machine sides have different dampers.

Procedure Proceed as follows to level the machine:

1. Fix the pads or the vibration dampers to the legs of the frames.
Pads Vibration dampers
front rear

2. Check the level of the frames in depth. See Check points [21].
3. Adjust the level by adding shims between the leg of the frame and the pad or the damper.
4. Check the level in width. See Check points [21].
5. Adjust the level of the machine by adding a same quantity of shims at the front and back side of
the frame.
To avoid distortion, one side of the machine cannot be positioned more than 5 mm higher
than the other side. If necessary, raise the other side.
After the levelling, check the level on the above three points again before tightening the
nuts of the pads. See Check points [21].
After the running-in of the machine, the level of the machine may change. Therefore, the
levelness must be checked and if necessary re-adjusted after the running-in of the machine
(e.g.after 2 WEEKS).

Gluing the machine

Introduction In order to prevent the machine from moving due to vibrations, or to reduce vibrations, the machine
can be glued to the floor.
The parts to be glued must be grease-free and dust-free and in close contact with the floor. Painted
surfaces must be slightly roughened.
Picanol provides a two component epoxy adhesive. The setting time of this adhesive is one
hour at an ambient temperature of 20°C. If the ambient temperature is higher, setting is
accelerated. Therefore, it is advisable to mix small quantities.
In case of an ambient temperature of ... wait ... before putting the machine into operation.
68°F (20°C) 24 hours after the machine has been glued to the floor
50°F (10°C) 2 days
.

 In case of an ambient temperature of ... wait ... before putting the machine into operation.
41°F (5°C) 4 days

Preparation of the Mix an equal quantity of both components in a jar until a homogenous mixture with an equal color is
adhesive obtained (keep mixing for about 3 minutes).
The mixing can be carried out by means of a drilling machine equipped with a spiral mixer.

Gluing the machine Proceed as follows to glue the machine to the floor:
Wear appropriate protective clothes, gloves and protective goggles for eyes and face during the
activities with this adhesive.
Avoid all contact with the skin.
After contact with the skin, wash immediately with a lot of water and soap.
In case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with a lot of water and call a doctor.
1. Mark the pad of the machine “C” on the floor.
2. Lift the frame equally.
Make sure during lifting that no machine parts
touch the floor. A
3. Fit a framework “B” around every foot “A” of the B
lifted frame.
Use 4 wooden slats and fix them to each other
to construct the framework “B”. The framework
should be about 1 cm longer and wider than the pad
“C”.
The framework prevents the glue from running. This
completely fills up the unevenness between the pad C
“C” and the floor.
4. Fix the framework “B” to the floor using some adhesive tape.
Make sure the glue does not flow under the framework and that the framework does not start floating
on the glue.
5. Apply enough glue underneath the pads “C” in the framework “B”.
6. Lower the machine again.
7. Repeat the above steps for the other side of the machine.
Do not wait more than an hour between gluing both machine sides.

8. Remove the framework “B”.

Only remove the framework if the glue is no longer liquid.

9. Check whether the machine is levelled. See Levelling the machine [21].

Fitting the terminal console

Transport During the transport of the machine, the terminal console is fastened to the left frame. Remove the
console when the machine has been levelled.

Location The following illustration shows the location of the terminal console:

most appropriate place
Make sure no cables or connections are damaged.

Fixing the double warp beam

Procedure Proceed as follows to fix the center bearing of the double warp beam to the floor:
1. Loosen the counter nuts “A”.
The bottom counter nut has left screw
thread.
2. Turn out the adjusting rod “B” until the
support “C” presses against the floor.
3. Position the support “C” in line with the
center support and take care that the
adjusting rod is positioned perpendicularly to
the floor.
4. Tighten the counter nuts “A”.
After the counter nuts “A” have been tightened,
the ball joints must still be able to turn freely!

5. Loosen the adjusting screw “D”.

6. Place the base plate “E” together with the rail
“F” against the support “C”.
Check if both parts “F” and “C” are in line with

Connecting weaving mill voltage and checking phase sequence

Connection .

The machine can only be connected if the weaving mill voltage corresponds to the operating
voltage for the machine as specified by Picanol. At start-up the machine draws a certain
amount of power from the mains. If the power supplied by the mains is not sufficient, this will
.

result in problems with the starting behavior of the machine.

For more information, see chapter “Electricity”.
Connect the weaving mill voltage to the main switch QM as follows:
L1 N

The mains input gland nut must be tightened on the outside covering of cable.
.

Checking the phase To check the order of the phases, See:

sequence • Checking in the case of outside cam motion with levelling (optional) [37].
• Checking if vacuum pump (optional) is present [38].
If the phase sequence is inverted, you have to swap two phases on the terminal strip of the main
switch QM.
If the machine is not equipped with an outside cam motion with levelling (option) or with a
vacuum pump (option), the phase sequence does not matter.
Before swapping the phases, take the necessary safety precautions to make sure that the power
line to the machine is disconnected.
If the oil pump motor turns in the wrong direction for a long time, there is a major risk of
.

Connecting the batching motion cable
General Before connecting the batching motion, read the supplier's manual.

Side of the batching See the supplier's manual.

motion

Machine side Proceed as follows to connect the batching motion on the machine side:
1. Connect the supply voltage and the control signals as indicated in the diagram “Batching motion”.
• There is a three-phase supply voltage on the clamps L21; L22; L23 on the weaving
machine. This voltage is secured by the fuses F-OUT1; F-OUT2; F-OUT3.
• Make sure that the supply voltage that is required for the batching motion equals the
supply voltage of the weaving machine.
• Three-phase voltage is present, but it is possible that the batching motion requires a two-
phase voltage.
On the weaving machine, the following control signals are present on the XK-terminal:
• 48VAC: control signal for batching motion;
• BM-STA (+26VDCL2): detects the batching motion status.

XK F-OUT L21 L22 L23 X06

Airtucker valves The airtuckers are controlled by two valves on the device.
The HOLD valve supplies the HOLD nozzles. These nozzles hold the filling yarn until it can be blown
in.
The IN valve supplies the IN nozzles. These nozzles insert the filling yarn into the shed.
The HOLD and IN valves all have a throttle valve and a quick coupling to measure the pressure.
