Picking Is The Second Primary Motion in Weaving. The Action of Inserting Weft Yarn Through The Warp Yarns Is Called Picking

The document discusses two types of picking mechanisms in weaving: over picking and under picking. Over picking involves the picking arm positioned above the shuttle box, allowing for higher loom speeds and less power required. Under picking positions the arm below the shuttle box, requiring more power but providing a cleaner mechanism. Both mechanisms work by a picking device striking the shuttle to pass it through the warp shed formed by the raised and lowered warp yarns. The document provides diagrams of the cone under picking and cone over picking mechanisms.

Picking

Picking is the second primary motion in weaving. The action of inserting weft yarn
through the warp yarns is called picking.
Over Pick: When picking arm position is situated above the shuttle box then it is
called over pick.
Under Pick: When picking arm position is situated under the shuttle box then it is
called under pick.
Difference between over pick and under pick:
Over Pick Under Pick
1. Arm position is above 1. Arm position is below
the shuttle box. the shuttle box.
2. Higher loom speed. 2. Lower loom speed.
3. Less power required. 3. More power required.
4. Works more smoothly. 4. Works less smoothly.
5. Less clean mechanism. 5. More clean mechanism.
6. Less direct action. 6. More direct action.
7. Comparatively gentle in 7. Comparatively harsh in
picking action. picking action.
8. Less wear and tear. 8. More wear and tear.
Under Picking mechanism:
Flow Chart of Cone Under Picking:
The tappet is driven by the bottom shaft
↓
When the picking tappet strikes the picking cone, it displaced and the side
shaft is turned
↓
The turning action of side shaft pulls the picking stick which is connected to
side shaft by picking strap
↓
The lower end of picking stick is pivoted. So that is pulled with the pulling of
side shaft
↓
Then the picker connected to picking arm strikes the shuttle and causes it to
pass through the warp shed
↓
Picking is done
Cone over picking mechanism
Working flowchart of tappet cone over picking mechanism:
With the rotation of loom/bottom shaft, picking tappet or cam rotates
↓
In revolving, picking tappet nose strikes the cone shaped antifriction roller on the stud
and partly rotates the picking shaft and the picking lever/stitch
↓
The picking arm/lever moves from right side to left side of the loom. It will give
angular movement which causes the picker to move inward with sufficient velocity to
drive the shuttle across the loom
↓
When the picker strikes the shuttle, the shuttle moves into the open shed through race
board
↓
Picking is done
↓
The spring causes the picking arm and picker to move back after the delivery of a pick.
How to increase PPM:

•By increasing motor seed.


•By increasing the nose shape of picking tappet.
•By decreasing the length of picking arm.
