<p>A Jacquard emulator for operating the pins (1) of a Jacquard mechanism as is used in the textile industry. The emulator has a number of disks (2) mounted on the shafts of respective stepper motors (3). The disks have a number of holes therein so that when the disks are brought into contact with the pins (1) by axial movement, predetermined pins align with holes in the disk so that required patterns of pins are actuated. The stepper motors (3) are controlled to orientate the disk to vary the pattern of pins actuated as required by a desired programme.</p> |
