RUNNING METHOD FOR CARRIER EQUIPMENT IN TEXTILE MACHINE

摘要

PURPOSE:To attain carrier control with high degree of freedom without relaying on complicated and expensive system architecture by incorporating a means selecting the running direction at a branch point of a magnetic guiding wire to a carrier equipment. CONSTITUTION:A carrier controller 2 incorporating a microcomputer and a mount controller are mounted before and after a truck 1 such as a warp beam 45, and a steering mechanism 4 of the carrier controller 2 is controlled based on a searching signal from forward/backward one pair of searches C1 searching the magnetic generated on the magnetic guide wire L installed on the floor and the direction of the drive front wheel 1a is controlled. In turning an operation knob from the running direction selecting position to a running direction selection position, the carrier controller 2 responds only to a searching signal obtained fro a left pickup coil C1l of the searchers C1 and the truck 1 is turned to the left the at the branch point. Thus, the running direction is set property without relying upon a complicated and expensive system architecture.
