Abstract :In this research, we delved into the mechanisms responsible for opening sheds in weaving machines, focusing on both the shed opening systems such as cam and follower mechanisms utilized in dobby systems. Our aim was to devise a novel cam and follower system that is not only cost-effective but also simple to manufacture and maintain, drawing inspiration from the principles underlying dobby mechanisms. Specifically, we aimed to develop a system capable of producing fabrics with minimal tension in warp threads. Following the completion of the cam and follower design phase, we proceeded to fabricate and assemble the drive, selection, and motion transmission mechanisms onto the frames. Upon meticulous adjustment of these mechanisms, they were set to operate automatically at various speeds.
