1 Dynamic Performance Improvement of a Carpet Scrapping Machine

Dynamic performance improvement like less vibration, smooth motor torque requirement, etc. of a carpet scrapping machine to enhance productivity and quality of Indian hand knotted carpets is presented. A complete dynamic analysis is carried out, along with optimum balancing of shaking force and shaking moment of the machine. To do this, its inertia properties are represented by dynamically equivalent systems, referred as equimomental systems, of point-masses to identify the design variables, and formulate the associated constraints. Mass redistribution and counterweights are suggested methods to improve dynamic performances of existing carpet scrapping machine
