The electronic Jacquard ma-
chines LX 1602 and LX 3202 are
especially suited to the fabrica-
tion of flat fabrics and terry cloth
at high speeds. They can be con-
figured with number of hooks re-
quired for the weaving operation.
The range is available from 1408
to 5120 hooks for the LX 1602
machines, and from 6144 to
14336 for the LX 3202 machines.
Assembling two Jacquard ma-
chines together allows formats up
to 24576 hooks.
The LX concept of these ma-
chines, which includes the pat-
ented M6 module, guarantees op-
timal profitability in terms of fabric
manufacturing. A system of coax-
ial shafts controlled by additional
cams in an oil bath extremely
simplifies the kinematics. Perfect
balancing of all mobile elements
allows both the LX 1602 and the
LX 3202 to operate with precision
and without vibration, even at the
highest speeds. The reinforced
kinematics and the rigid built-in
frame allow for increased load
of 30 % versus the previous ver-
sions depending on the formats.
These machines are particularly
reliable and easy-to-use.

These Jacquard machines offer

excellent results in all applica-

Gobelins type fabric or airbags.
The load limits are particularly
adapted to these types of fabric.

The patented M6 module ensures

the connection between the lift-
ing mechanism and the harness.
Compact, and engineered from
composite materials, the M6
module is sealed and wear re-
sistant and consumes very little
energy.
The new module design M6 offers
additional advantages versus the
M5 module thanks to the opti-
mized polar contact and reduced
space.

The rollers built into the module

make hooking and unhooking the
harness cords easy. It is equipped
with the QUICK LINK system to re-

Depending on how loads involved,
the M6 module is equipped with

Controller

Reduced maintenance
During the Jacquard machine
design phase, Stubli engineers
addressed the specific needs and
problems of weaving installa-
tions. The robust construction of
LX 1602 and LX 3202 machines
is adapted to daily use.
Even in a highly dusty environ-
ment, the machines require only
a minimum amount of mainte-
nance. The Jacquard machine's
maintenance program can be
managed automatically via the
JC6 controller.
The optimized housing design of
the Jacquard machine facilitates
access to the various elements
of the machine and prevent dust
from entering.
The reduced space requirement
of the M6 module improves the
air circulation. For the LX 3202
machine, the filters and fans are
installed vertically, in order to pro-
tect them from the linters.
