PRINCIPLE OF SELECTION
Module MX PRO
The MX PRO module forms the link between the lifting
mechanism and the harness. The compact, resilient
module, made of dimensionally stable composite
materials, has sealed read-in chambers and an extremely
low energy requirement.
The MX PRO Module has two ball
bearings. The harness is hooked
to the module of the Jacquard
machine and fixed independently of
the weaving machine.
Rapid installation
Thanks to Stäubli’s latest
redesigned and dedicated Mini-
Quick connector (patent pending),
Jacquard modules are easily
separated from the harness,
helping to speed up hooking and
unhooking the harness cords,
whenever needed.
Advanced technology for hook selection
By simplifying the electronic structure of the Jacquard head and
reducing the number of connections, the new intelligent electronic
architecture ensures accurate and verified data transmission during the
weaving process.
