Grosse has introduced its patented UniShed positive electronic  jacquard  head. The shed formation in the UniShed is achieved by leaf  spring.  Each leaf spring is connected to a heddle that controls one warp  end.  The leaf springs which are controlled by actuators control the  bottom  shed as well as the top shed (positive shed type). The dimensions  of  the jacquard head and the individual control of each heddle (warp  end)  allow the heddles to be set vertically. These settings permit the   elimination of harness cords, hooks, magnets, pulleys, pull down springs   and more significantly, the gantry. The jacquard head is mounted   directly on the side frame of the weaving machine, thus allowing quick   style changes.
