An Overview of the Different Types of Weaving Machines

Power looms have been around since the 1780s when Edmund Cartwright patented the first power loom. Since then, there have been many advancements in the making of these machines.

Power looms and weaving machines have changed considerably since the Industrial Revolution and with new advancements in technology, they are evolving more and more. There are plenty of looms, like shuttle, circular, and narrow fabric, which are prevalent in the market today.

Golden Elegance, weaving machine manufacturers, are looking at the various power looms that we keep in our inventory.

The Different Types of Weaving Machines Available

There are plenty of weaving machines available. We offer only a subset of the major ones like a rapier, electronic jacquard, velvet, and dobby looms.

Rapier Loom

This weaving machine is well-known for the finger-like projections called rapiers which carry the thread across from one end to the other end. The machine can weave fabrics of different fibers, which makes it unique in its own way. A rapier loom is also very flexible as it allows the loom to have different colored picks.

Electronic Jacquard

The electronic jacquard loom has been used to make fabrics like brocade, damask, and tapestry. It was built on the principle of punch cards, which governs modern-day computer chips. The installation of the jacquard device along with the power loom, made the loom capable of creating intricate patterns in the cloth. The electronic jacquard is the modern-day version of the jacquard machine.
