Abstract
A tufting machine includes a drive system for driving reciprocation of one or more needle bars carrying a series of needles. A backing material will be fed through a tufting zone of the tufting machine, with the needles penetrating into and out of the backing material, and with the reciprocation of the needle bars controlled by the drive system to form tufts of yarns in the backing material at increased production rates.
