Dobby Shedding:

This is a compact, mechanical and electronically guided


shedding motion and capable of getting up to twenty-eight shafts.
additional complicated and versatile shedding motion. A dobby
loom, therefore, will have up to twenty-eight shafts, and far larger
weave repeat is possible. the design could also be woven with 2 or
additional basic weaves and their variation. Such fabrics could also
be referred as dobby cloths or dobby weave, towels typically show
geometric designs when the pattern is provided by dobby.

The scope of Dobby:


It can produce the more complex design.
Theoretically, it can control maximum 48 heald frame but
practically 36.
For cotton yarn, it can control maximum 48 heald frame.
Production is less than tappet.
Classification of dobby:
1. According to lift:
(a) Single lift
(b) Double lift

2. According to figuring capacity (no. of


heald shaft):
48’s, 36’s, 24’s, 20’s, 16’s, 12’s

3. According to the position of heald shaft:


(a) Vertical
(b) Horizontal

4. According to the driving of heald shaft:


(a) Positive
(b) Negative
5. According to shed:
(a) Bottom close shed
(b) Centre close shed
(c) Semi-open shed
(d) Open Shed

6. According to no. of jack lever:


(a) Single jack lever
(b) Double jack lever

7. Broadly dobby shedding can be classified as


below:
(a) Ordinary dobby (i.e. single jack lever, single
lift dobby)
(b) Special dobby (i.e. double jack lever, 48’s
dobby)
The principle of Negative Dobby Shedding:
In this variety of shed, lowering of the heald frame occurred
automatically.
Construction:
In the negative shedding, the heald frames are operated by the
jack & lever. The levers are connected with the knife and also the
knifes are connected with the driving rod by means that of
connecting needle. A pattern is used here in line with the weave
plan. when the teeth of the chain come to the contact of chain
drum then whole the arrangement moves along and lowering of
the heald frame is occurred by the spring.
Working Principle:
The lowering of the heald frame is happening here by spring or
jack lever. when the pattern cylinder doesn’t find peg on the
pattern drum then bauck lever and jack lever bring the heald
frame downward direction, so the the lowering of the heald
frame is occurred by means that of spring tension.
Advantages of Negative Dobby:
Highly complex and critical fabrics can be weaved.
At a time it can control many heald frame
More faster than the positive dobby as well as over
conventional loom
Can produce close bottom shed

Disadvantages of Negative Dobby:


In this shed only lowering of the shed is possible
Due to more stress, yarn breakages additional
It is not good for heavier fabric
It does not provide more high speed to the loom
Positive Dobby Shedding:
Principles of positive dobby, In this variety of shed lifting &
lowering of the heald frame, each is possible. lifting is occurred
by means that of jack & lever, and lowering is occurred by
means that of spring under tension.
Construction and Working Principle:
Positive dobby shedding is that the combination of 3 Cylinders,
jack lever, spring and a shaft. Between the 3 cylinders, a shaft is
a pin in one side the upper cylinder moves because the
opposing clockwise and lower cylinder moves because of the
clockwise direction. the main cylinder when getting motion
from the shaft when it found peg or pattern plan then the
cylinder connected to the higher half-toothed disc. so
the heald frame is up,& when the pattern cylinder doesn’t
found peg then the main cylinder connected to the lower half-
toothed disc and also the spring retains the heald frame to the
downward direction.
