XTY-60 Rixin Short-Base Needle Plate Holder, Copper Pins, Polished White

Product Overview

The needle plate holder is a core supporting component on setting machines, used to secure the needle plate and operate synchronously with the chain. It is an essential accessory for the setting machine’s chain system. This part primarily serves to position and lock the needle plate, running in sync with the machine’s chain to ensure stable positioning of the needle plate under high-temperature setting conditions. This needle plate holder is crafted from heat-resistant alloy material, which resists deformation at high temperatures and delivers excellent positioning accuracy. It effectively reduces issues such as needle disengagement and edge misalignment during production. With its robust overall structure and long service life, it can be used both for assembling new setting machines and for repairing or replacing components on existing equipment, adapting to the setting needs of knitted and woven fabrics while fully meeting operational requirements across various fabric types.

Operating Logic and Adaptation Principle

Setting machines are central equipment for thermal setting of fabrics. During operation, the chain drives the needle plate holder and the needle plate mounted on it in synchronized cycles. The needle plate pierces and secures the fabric edges, guiding the fabric steadily through the high-temperature setting oven to complete the thermal setting process. As an intermediate support connecting the chain and the needle plate, the structural stability and positioning accuracy of the needle plate holder directly determine the consistency of the needle plate’s position, thereby impacting the quality of the finished fabric and the efficiency of the equipment. If the needle plate holder deforms under high temperatures, develops excessive positioning gaps, or experiences loosening of its locking mechanism, it can lead to needle plate displacement, resulting in edge misalignment and needle disengagement—issues that may compromise dimensional accuracy and appearance quality, or even cause fabric scrap and equipment downtime, imposing unnecessary financial losses on manufacturers. This needle plate holder is made from heat-resistant alloy, maintaining dimensional stability under prolonged high-temperature operating conditions without deformation. Its high-precision manufacturing ensures positioning gaps remain within reasonable limits, while its robust locking mechanism provides reliable fixation, enabling smooth synchronous operation with the chain to deliver stable support and precise positioning for the needle plate, fully meeting all operational demands of setting machines.

Industry Pain Points Addressed

In the fabric-setting industry, performance deficiencies of needle plate holders have long been common challenges affecting both machine efficiency and fabric yield. Key pain points include:
1. Thermal Deformation: Conventional needle plate holders tend to deform under prolonged high-temperature conditions, causing needle plate misalignment and leading to edge misalignment and non-compliant dimensions, severely compromising fabric quality.
2. Excessive Positioning Gaps: Poorly machined holders with oversized gaps experience excessive movement during chain operation, resulting in inconsistent needle penetration force, frequent needle disengagement, and loose edges, ultimately causing wrinkling and scrap in the oven.
3. Locking Mechanism Loosening: Insufficient strength in standard locking mechanisms often leads to loosening under repeated cycling and vibration, causing needle plate displacement and necessitating frequent adjustments, which disrupts machine efficiency and increases maintenance workload. This needle plate holder addresses these industry-specific challenges through targeted optimization: heat-resistant alloy materials mitigate thermal deformation, precision machining controls positioning gaps, and a high-strength locking mechanism prevents loosening, comprehensively enhancing both machine stability and fabric yield.
