The document discusses the Jacquard shedding mechanism used in weaving to produce complex patterns with many warp threads. Key points:
- Jacquard uses a large number of harness cords, hooks and needles to separately control over 1800 warp threads individually, allowing for intricate designs not possible on dobby or tappet looms.
- It can lift 200-3000 yarns at once to form the shed, drafting only 8-12 yarns at a time, and produces the finest figured fabrics.
- However, it requires more space, skilled workers, and is more costly than other looms.

Jacquard Shedding Mechanism
In weaving if we want to make any design in our fabric
we have to separate the warp yarn according to our weave plan. In tappet or dobby shedding we have some limitations in shedding for a critical design. But in jacquard shedding it can be done easily. Jacquard is a shedding device placed on the top of the loom to produce large no of patterns by using a very large no of warp threads separately by means of harness cords, hooks and needles. The figuring capacity of a jacquard is 1800+. It means it can produce design with more than 1800 warp threads by controlling them individually, which is far beyond the capacity of a dobby or tappet loom. Scope of Jacquard/ Advantages & Disadvantages of Jacquard It can be used for a large design which cannot be possible on tappet or dobby. No. heald shaft is used in this shedding & every warp is controlled individually. It is possible to lift 200 3000 yarns at any instant though 8 -12 yarns are drafted in straight line. It is the finest of all machines for making the figured woven fabric that have ever been invented & for superior in capacity to a dobby. Produce all types of designs. Most costly fabric produced. Disadvantages 1.Large space required 2.skilled worker 3.less speed 4.Costly TYPES @According to the type of shed: •Bottom closed shed. •Centre closed shed. •Semi –open shed. •Open –shed. @According to the figuring capacity: 100’s, 200’s, 300’s, ………………..etc. @ According to the lifting: •Single lift single cylinder(S.L.S.C.) •Double lift double cylinder(D.L.D.C) •Double lift single cylinder(D.L.S.C) @According to the harness mounting: Single tie –up. Repeating tie –up. Mixed tie –up. Pointed tie –up. @According to the mixed /combined shedding: Jacquard with tappet or cam. Jacquard with dobby. Jacquard with tappet & dobby. Basic Principle of Jacquard: The unpunched position of the card will press back the needle & consequently the hook controlled by that will be away from the path of the using knife. Thus the hook gets selection according to the design cut for a particular card. When the hooks are lifted by the knives the cylinder moves out a limited distance. A catch holds it against the top corner of the cylinder. The cylinder is turned about its axis & new card is presented to the needles during its next cycle. By this time the griffe along with its knives descend to lower the warp threads to the bottom shed line for a fresh warp threads to the bottom shed line for a fresh selection of the hook at the next pick SLSC @One neck cord control one hook @One needle control one hook @one cylinder @one spring box @Bottom close shed
