AI Technical Summary
Existing actuator assemblies for textile machines have a large overall height due to the alternated arrangement of spools, which increases the size of the weaving machine and affects the depth of the working area, leading to interference between warp and weft threads.
The actuator assembly features a configuration where each magnetic plate is shared between two linear actuators, with spools moving between upper and lower permanent magnets, and includes a cooling circuit with channels in the magnetic plates for efficient heat dissipation, eliminating the need for springs and using capacitors to store energy.
This design reduces the overall height of the actuator assembly, minimizes energy loss as heat, and maintains the functionality of previous solutions while allowing for a smaller footprint and improved heat management.
