The technological development of water-jet looms can be roughly divided into three stages. In the traditional mechanical control stage, the operation parameters such as water spray volume and weaving speed mainly relied on manual adjustment of mechanical components, which was not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also difficult to ensure the stability of product quality. Then, with the application of electronic control technology, partial parameters could be adjusted electronically, but the overall coordination and precision were still limited. Up to now, the fully electronic drive technology represented by Qingdao Jinfang Yunchun Machinery's new generation of equipment has realized the intelligent integration of the whole production process.

The dual-pump dual-jet technology applied by Qingdao Jinfang Yunchun Machinery in its products is a typical achievement of the fully electronic drive stage. This technology, combined with a digital control system, can accurately match the water spray pressure and frequency according to different fabric characteristics and weaving requirements. Compared with the single-pump single-jet equipment in the semi-electronic stage, it can increase the weaving speed by 25% while reducing the defective rate caused by unstable water spray by more than 30%. The technical team of the company said: 'The core of fully electronic drive is not only the replacement of control methods, but also the realization of 'demand-oriented' precise production through the integration of hardware and software.'

Under the background of the national 'dual-carbon' goal, energy conservation and emission reduction have become the key direction of technological upgrading of water-jet looms. Qingdao Jinfang Yunchun Machinery has made breakthroughs in two aspects: water-saving circulation system and motor energy efficiency optimization. Its independently developed water-saving circulation system can filter and reuse the water used in the weaving process, and cooperate with the variable frequency motor with high energy efficiency rating, which significantly reduces the resource consumption in the production process. The actual operation data shows that the unit fabric water consumption of its equipment is 20% lower than the industry average, which strongly supports textile enterprises to achieve carbon reduction targets.

While continuously optimizing energy-saving technologies, the industry is also accelerating its march towards intelligence, and artificial intelligence is expected to become the next core driving force. In the field of fabric quality inspection, AI algorithms can identify subtle defects that are difficult to be found by the human eye through high-definition image recognition and big data analysis, and feed back the detection results to the loom control system in real time to realize closed-loop adjustment of production. This not only improves the quality inspection efficiency, but also further reduces the rate of defective products.

Facing the future, experts in the industry believe that water-jet loom enterprises should not only focus on the upgrading of a single equipment, but also pay attention to the overall solution of 'intelligent factory'. By integrating water-jet looms with intelligent warehousing, digital scheduling and other systems through the Internet of Things technology, the whole process of textile production from raw material input to finished product output can be visualized and intelligentized. Qingdao Jinfang Yunchun Machinery has already laid out in this field. Its cloud management platform, which has been put into use, can not only monitor the operation of looms, but also connect with the enterprise's production management system to provide data support for production scheduling.
