A weft accumulator is a device in weaving technology that temporarily stores weft yarn during the weaving process. Its features can include:
Yarn storage capacity: The size of the weft accumulator determines the amount of yarn that can be stored.
Speed control: Weft accumulators can have adjustable speed controls to regulate the speed at which the yarn is fed into the weaving machine.
Tension control: Some weft accumulators have tension control systems to maintain the tension of the yarn being stored.
Automated operation: Some weft accumulators are fully automated and require minimal operator intervention.
Compatibility with different types of yarn: Different weft accumulators may be designed for different types of yarn, such as cotton, synthetic fibers, or silk.
Ease of use: The design and operation of the weft accumulator can impact its ease of use for the operator.
Durability: The weft accumulator should be durable and able to withstand the rigors of the weaving process.
