In addition the machine meets the highest demands in respect to fabric quality through simplification in the guidance of the ® warp threads, a gentle pile beat-up and a unique PIC - System, which decisively improves the reliability of the filling insertion. This universal terry weaving machine can weave first-class velours and towel fabrics as well as crushed loop terry from single and plied yarns. Its capabilities include hand and bath towels as well as terry cloth for leisure, sport, beach and swimwear. The spectrum of application of the DORNIER EasyTerry ® Air-jet Terry Weaving Machine: It reaches from jacquard shedding to the simplest cam shedding version in nominal widths of 190 to 360 cm. It includes precise reproduction of mirrored patterns and weaving motives using two pile heights in the same section of fabric. It allows producing heavyweight bathmats, weaving of complex borders with a wide variety of filling yarns, permits patterning with 8 fillings and gives the choice between tucked selvedges using the PneumaTucker ® and leno selvedges formed with Disc-O-Leno ® devices. 3 79365 EasyTerry_engl 17.08.2007 12:04 Uhr Seite 4 Forward thinking – the DORNIER pneumatic filling insertion system Permanently controlled process security ® DORNIER’s patented PIC - System (Permanent Insertion Control) permanently monitors the most important electrical filling insertion elements. Right at the outset it recognizes imprecise operation of filling insertion elements. It sets new standards for process security and quality consistency. Filling feeders from various suppliers can be fully integrated into the system. This significantly increases the flexibility of the weaving machine. The forces exerted on the filling yarn are gentle and create little tension as a result of optimized airflow from the main and relay nozzles. Electronically controlled activation and jetting sequences guarantee a high degree of flexibility and low air consumption. The patented, conceptually modular Triple Weft Sensor with stretch nozzle provides a so far unreached degree of reliability in filling control of spun, filament and multi-colored yarns. The permanent control of the insertion nozzles’ Triple Weft Sensor with deflection and stretch nozzle jetting sequence with a continuous standard va® lue comparison (PIC ) assures weaving quality and precludes machine downtime. Defective or worn magnets are indicated immediately. Stretch and monitor thread Yarn-, speed- and width-related parameters for the control of the nozzles pick and pick are supplied from a data library. The timing of the Transport thread electronically controlled filling scissor can be set on the display with the machine running.

A well-dimensioned air supply unit provides air to the main, relay and stretch nozzles. Userfriendliness and reduction in set-up times through swivel temples. During a warp or style change the temple cylinders can be swivelled out of their operative position without any adverse effect on the precision setting. All temple supports are laterally adjustable over the entire weaving width into any desired position. As a result of the linear drive for the movement of the temples and the terry bar, there is an absolute coordination of movement and the spreading effect is fully utilized. 5 79365 EasyTerry_engl 17.08.2007 12:05 Uhr Seite 6 Intelligent weaving machine electronics – programmed for the future CAN-Bus – the backbone of DORNIER weaving machine control DORNIER introduced the AT electronics with CAN-Bus Controller Area Network in 1989. In the meantime this future-oriented concept has been successfully applied in over 17,000 DORNIER weaving machines, illustrating the extensive experience with this technology that only DORNIER has in the weaving machine manufacturing sector. The high maturity of this electronic concept forms the basis for the expansion of the CAN-Bus from internal control only to external application as well. As a result all auxiliary weaving functions have been incorporated into the monitoring, regulation and control processes. DORNIER has thus taken machine intelligence to the next level, providing the user with significantly simplified handling techniques, a higher degree of functional security and nearly unlimited add-on potential.

Using this principle the fabric is shifted towards the reed by means of a positively controlled movement of the whip roll and a terry bar together with the temples on the beat-up of the «fast pick». The sturdy reed drive is free of play. It provides the necessary precision for the beat-up of the group of picks. A compact, simplified whip roll system improves handling and has a decisive influence on reducing broken ends. Due to a drastic reduction in the number of mechanical components the amount of maintenance required is reduced. With the help of electronics the precision of measuring the length of pile yarn is improved. This leads to a better fabric quality due to constant pile height and fabric weight. The weaving process is so exact that precise mirrored patterns are possible and velour weavers experience minimal shearing waste. 1 Ground warp 2 Pile warp 3 Measuring unit 4 Terry motion cams 5 Setting lever for terry spacing 6 Cam driven whip roll for ground warp 7 Precise setting for terry spacing 8 Cloth roll 9 Warp tension sensor With an electronic measuring device the length of pile warp yarn required for a specific pile height is positively controlled in increments of 0.1 mm. This length measuring is independent of the diameter of the pile warp beam. Using this unique method of measurement for the delivery of the pile warp, the transition from one pile height to another or from the border to the first row of terry loops is carried out with a high degree of consistency. 8 79365 EasyTerry_engl 17.08.2007 12:06 Uhr Seite 9 DORNIER Air-jet Terry Weaving Machine, type EasyTerry ®, with electronic jacquard machine and fabric wind-up by a Mini-batcher. Reed in back position Reed motion Filling insertion window EasyTerry ® Filling insertion window with crank shaft drive Gentle pile beat-up Interlacing point Angle degree position The special characteristics of the EasyTerry ® reed movement include a large window for gentle insertion of the filling at high speed and a smooth reed movement for a gentle terry beat-up. As a result of the compact whip roll system and a 20% reduction in the deflection of the warp shed, the frequency of broken warp ends has been decisively reduced. 9 79365 EasyTerry_engl 17.08.2007 12:06 Uhr Seite 10 Reliable selvedge formation at high weaving speeds – the new DORNIER selvedge formation devices A perfect fabric selvedge quality DORNIER offers revolutionary and patented selvedge formation devices with decisive ® ® advantages. The 2-end full-turn Disc-O-Leno /MotoLeno , controlled in direct rela- tion with weave requirements, variations in pick density and fabric construction, is freely programmable. The result – secure selvedges without build-up that also withstand the rigors of subsequent finishing processes. Warp end breaks in the selvedge area are significantly reduced. Although leno selvedges predominate in terry weaving, DORNIER also offers tuck-in units for outside and center selvedges. For this purpose the PneumaTucker ® pneumatic tuck-in unit has been developed and produces a clean tucked selvedge without the use of any mechanical moving parts and is independent of the weaving speed. All process functions are easily set directly on the machine display. The weaver saves yarn material and spare parts, relieves personnel workload and increases efficiency. The full-turn leno devices Disc-O-Leno®/ With the pneumatic tuck-in MotoLeno® operate with reversible direction of unit, PneumaTucker ®, the rotation inherent to the principle of this filling tail is tucked by an patented system. No additional harness fra- electronically controlled mes are required. This leno device forms an in- jet of air. The length of the tensive binding of the picks with exceptionally filling tail, the number of short tails and utilizes standard king spools. picks to be tucked simultaneously, and the timing of the electronically controlled selvedge cutter are easily programmable on the machine display. Exclusive hand towels are woven with complex borders utilizing fancy weaves and a wide variety of filling yarns. Thanks to electronically controlled regulation of the weaving speed, electronic take-up motion, precision-controlled warp tension with the electronic absolute sensor and a new main nozzle for chenille yarns, the demands of weaving very complex borders have been mastered. 10 79365 EasyTerry_engl 17.08.2007 12:06 Uhr Seite 11 Technical data Filling insertion ® System with main and relay nozzles, profiled reed and PIC controller Main nozzle Mobile Standard nozzle Mobile Tandem nozzle TDM with semi-automatic threading with Positive Weft Clamp PWC (option) Reed drive Bilateral with complementary cam assemblies, with gentle loop formation Width reduction Symmetric up to 40 cm, asymmetric up to 90 cm Larger reductions on request Filling insertion rate Over 1.680 m/min, double pick insertion possible Terry parameters Adjustment of pile reedspacing up to 20 mm 2 pile heights can be produced DoNet (Global Communication Network) Total networking between machine, host computer and DORN I E R for spare parts ordering, user manuals, setting instructions, style and performance data and remote diagnostics Machine type code ® DORN I E R EasyTerry Air-jet Terry Weaving Machine ATVF8/S 360 Number of filling colors Shed formation S = dobby E = positive cam motion J = jacquard machine Nominal width in cm Dimensions Yarn counts From Ne 3 – Ne 70 either single, plied, fancy spun yarns or chenille yarns From dtex 40 – dtex 1200 either flat, textured or fancy filament yarns Filling colors 1–8 colors, any sequence, pick at will Filling accumulators Controlled by DORN I E R electronics, electronically controlled filling tension device, Automatic Filling Repair AFR Automatic filling break repair for first and second filling (for 3-pick terry) Shed formation Cam shedding motion, max. 10 harness frames with 12 mm pitch Dobby for up to 20 harness frames with 12 mm pitch Electronically controlled jacquard machine with up to 6,144 hooks Selvedge formation ® ® 2-end disc leno device, Disc-O-Leno / MotoLeno , ® tucked selvedges with PneumaTucker , Cylinder temple Swivel-mounted Electronic Warp Let-off motion EWL Electronic warp let-off motion with absolute sensor and setting accuracy of +/- 1 gram, warp beam support universal or Euro type for ground warp beam diameters 800 – 1000 mm, top beam stand for up to 1250 mm beam diameter Electronic Cloth Take-up motion ECT Electronic synchronized with EWL, setting accuracy 0.01 picks/cm, cloth roll diameter 540 mm, with off-loom take-up up to 1800 mm Automatic Start-mark Prevention ASP ASP including harness levelling, high torque start-up of main motor, single pick insertion mode Electronics Multiprocessor technology with Controller Area Network CAN-Bus, graphical display with Windows emulation, Update with new software via diskette or online Electronically regulated weaving parameters Eight different input values can be preprogrammed separately for filling density, speed and ground warp tension and then retrieved during weaving operation.
