A rapier weaving machine and a method for converting an existing rapier weaving machine into a rapier weaving machine, which includes an insert rapier head for inserting a weft yarn into a fabric, a receiver rapier head for receiving and holding the weft yarn and subsequently pulling the weft yarn out of the fabric in a movement direction, an opening element for opening the receiver rapier head in order to release the weft yarn, and a guiding device, positioned on the side of the receiver rapier head opposite the opening element, and comprising a guiding block for adjusting the movement direction of the receiver rapier head, and a rotatable guiding wheel for restraining the receiver rapier head when opening.

Rapier weaving machine with guiding device and method for converting a rapier weaving machine

A guide device including a guide () with one or more guide elements () for guiding a rapier bar () in a rapier weaving machine, wherein this guide device is provided with an air circuit () through which compressed air can flow and which is provided with perforations () for cooling the rapier bar () by compressed air, and wherein this guide device is provided with a cooling circuit () through which coolant can flow for cooling the rapier bar () by coolant. In addition, an assembly of a rapier bar (), drive () and such a guide device. Furthermore, a rapier weaving machine including such an assembly.

Guide device for a rapier bar and rapier weaving machine comprising such a guide device

A selvedge device (), having at least two pairs of heddle holders () for holding heddles () on either side, a drive device for driving the two pairs of heddle holders () by reciprocating movements, in which the drive device has at least two drive bodies () and each pair of heddle holders () is attached to a drive body (), and in which the heddle holders () of at least one pair of heddle holders () are attached to the corresponding drive body () so as to be height-adjustable with respect to this corresponding drive body ().

Selvedge device

A projector is provided which can handle high light intensities without dust or foreign matter penetrating the inside of the apparatus and thus deteriorating the quality of the image projected. The projector apparatus comprises a spatial light modulator (SLM) unit provided with a plurality of reflective SLMs and a prismatic light splitting/combining unit. The SLM unit is enclosed in a substantially sealed chamber. A heat path for cooling each SLM is provided, whereby the heat path connection is through the wall of the substantially sealed chamber. In this way, heat energy from the main heat source inside the sealed chamber is brought outside the sealed chamber for dissipation.
