CIRCULAR LOOM AND METHODS OF FORMING WOVEN MULTILAYER CASINGS THEREON Russian patent published in 2025 - IPC D03C3/00 D03D49/00 

FIELD: weaving.

SUBSTANCE: disclosed is a circular weaving machine for making woven multilayer shells, comprising a device for mounting a forming mandrel, located in the centre of the machine, moving the mandrel in a vertical direction; several creels installed around the central zone of the machine, with a plurality of packages with warp threads, directed to the forming mandrel radially in the horizontal plane; several shedding mechanisms arranged along the perimeter of the central zone of the machine, forming a circular shed from the warp threads; shuttle, forcibly moved in a circular opening, wherein devices and mechanisms of the machine are equipped with individual drives and control sensors; wherein the drives are controlled by a computer through a controller according to a given circular cyclic diagram plotted relative to the position of the moving shuttle, either by individual commands sent from the computer or from the central zone of the machine; control sensors are used to control execution of a circular cyclic diagram, switching on and off drives, movements and positions of actuating elements with displaying information on a monitor in real time.

EFFECT: expanded operating performances of the circular weaving machine in terms of the variety of shapes and sizes of high-quality multilayer woven casings produced on it.
