DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CUTTING THE PILE YARNS TO BE WOVEN IN AN AXMINSTER WEAVING MACHINE

摘要

The present invention relates to a weaving device of the Axminster type in which the pile yarn cutting device comprises a cutting device (7) which reciprocates at least across the width of the weaving device and which comprises at least one or more cutting blades (6) which are fixedly connected to the reciprocating cutting device (7) for cutting the pulled-out pile yarns and in which the weaving device furthermore comprises at least one grinding device (11) for sharpening said one or more cutting blades (6). Such a weaving device results in a more consistently good cutting quality of the pile yarns and an even pile surface of the fabric. This eliminates the usage costs and the regrinding costs of the cutting bits and of the counter-blade.
