Analysis and design of the beating-up mechanism is of great importance for im proving loom performance. Computer aided design and analysis tools are used to study different kinds of beating-up mechanisms, including the 4-link and 6-link systems, and their characteristics are compared with those of the conjugate-cam mechanism. Results from models with varying geometric parameters are presented, revealing that the com puter tools are effective and useful in analyzing and designing beating-up mechanisms with smoother operation, lower noise and vibration, and higher speeds.
