XTY-120 Type 773-C Short-Base Needle Plate Holder, Through-Hole

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 important accessory for the chain system of setting machines. This part primarily serves to position and lock the needle plate, enabling synchronized cyclic operation along with the machine’s chain, thus ensuring 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 in high-temperature environments 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 in existing equipment, accommodating the setting needs of various knitted and woven fabrics while fully meeting operational requirements across diverse fabric types.

Operating Logic and Adaptation Principle

Setting machines are essential 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 influencing the quality of the finished fabric and the efficiency of the equipment. If the needle plate holder deforms under high temperatures, exhibits excessive positioning gaps, or experiences loosening of its locking mechanism, it can lead to needle plate displacement, resulting in edge misalignment and needle disengagement. These issues may compromise dimensional accuracy and appearance quality, or even cause fabric scrap and equipment downtime, imposing unnecessary economic losses on manufacturers. This needle plate holder is made of heat-resistant alloy, maintaining dimensional stability under prolonged high-temperature operating conditions without deformation. Its high-precision manufacturing ensures that positioning gaps remain within reasonable limits, while its robust locking mechanism provides reliable fixation, allowing smooth synchronous operation with the chain to deliver stable support and precise positioning for the needle plate, fully meeting the demanding operational requirements 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 exposure to high temperatures, causing needle plate installation misalignment and leading to edge misalignment and non-compliant fabric dimensions, severely impacting product quality.
2. Excessive Positioning Gaps: Poorly machined holders with oversized gaps experience shaking during chain operation, resulting in inconsistent force when piercing fabric edges—often causing needle disengagement and loose edges, leading to wrinkling and scrap in the oven.
3. Locking Mechanism Loosening: Insufficient strength in standard locking mechanisms makes them prone to loosening under repeated cycling and vibration, causing needle plate displacement and necessitating frequent shutdowns for adjustments, thereby reducing operational efficiency and increasing maintenance workload. This needle plate holder addresses these industry challenges through targeted optimization: heat-resistant alloy materials mitigate thermal deformation; high-precision machining controls positioning gaps; and a high-strength locking mechanism prevents loosening, comprehensively enhancing machine stability and improving fabric yield.
