A national sampling loom designed and improved as computer controlled and semi-automatic [Bi'lgi'sayar destekli' yari-otomati'k tasarlanmiş ve geli'şti'ri'lmi'ş yerli' bi'r numune dokuma maki'nesi']

This project involves designing, improving and making a prototype with having computercontrolled shedding, weaving design and patterning as a new version of the semi-automated dobby sampling loom, manufactured by Gulas-Machine (Istanbul). A CAD-CAM program that can manage the shedding function of this machine, Woven Pattern Design Program, was developed with DELPHI XE5 version. The developed Woven Pattern Design Program, not only manage the machine functions but also it can be used for individual studies for the weaving patterns and production planning. This article represents technical information, functions and usage of the developed sampling loom
