Qingdao JETMECH Machinery Technology Co., Ltd.
We created this website to give first-time buyers a clear and honest understanding of the JTM508. You can see what each system does, why the main options matter, and what to confirm before making a purchase decision.
Water Jet Loom
Tell us what you plan to weave. JETMECH reviews the fabric type, finished width, weave structure, and target output, then explains which configuration is suitable and what should be included in the quotation.
A waterjet loom works in a humid environment, so long-term reliability begins with the machine body and its corrosion protection. JETMECH combines a heavy-duty body with 304 stainless-steel fasteners and protective covers. Phosphating, electrophoretic coating (E-coat), and three protective paint coats help resist corrosion and support dependable operation over time.
Review the machine views first, followed by the mechanical and electrical systems.

This side brings together the warp let-off, fabric take-up, water-pump, and water-suction drives. Their coordinated operation helps maintain warp tension, even winding, consistent jet pressure, and effective water removal.
The electrical-cabinet side provides access to the controller, wiring, and related electrical components. Keeping this area clear makes inspection, troubleshooting, and service easier.
The rear structure supports and aligns the warp beam for smooth, even warp delivery. Adequate rear access also makes beam loading, setup, and routine service easier.
Heavy-Duty Frame Structure
The left and right HT250 gray-cast-iron side-frame assemblies weigh approximately 570 kg combined. Front and rear pentagonal connecting beams and eight floor anchors—four on each side—form a rigid base that helps maintain alignment and limit vibration during high-speed operation. Center supports and final anchor positions follow the approved installation drawing.
This HT250 frame supports the transmission, beat-up, and bearing assemblies. Its mass, beam connections, and floor anchoring help maintain alignment under continuous high-speed load.
The opposite-side frame and pentagonal support beams complete the rigid machine body. Center supports and approved anchor positions add installation stability.
SHEDDING SYSTEM OPTIONS
This table compares NPW410, NPW411, and LP409 cam shedding systems with the NP5400D electronic dobby. Crank shedding is a separate option for simple weave repeats. Final selection depends on weave structure, required heald frames, nominal reed space, and target speed.
| Specification | NPW410 CAM | NPW411 CAM | NP5400D Electronic Dobby |
LP409 CAM |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nominal reed space | 190–360 cm | 190–360 cm | 190–390 cm | 190–360 cm |
| Supplier-rated maximum speed | 1,000 rpm | 800 rpm | 750 rpm | 800 rpm |
| Heald-frame pitch | 14 mm | 14 mm | 12 mm | 14 mm |
| Maximum heald frames | Up to 10 frames | 12 frames | Up to 16 frames | Up to 12 frames |
| Heddle length | 260 or 280 mm | 260 or 280 mm | 330 mm | 260 or 280 mm |
| Shed opening | 56–113 mm | 56–113 mm | 58–142 mm | 56–113 mm |
| Pattern-repeat capacity | 12 picks | 12 picks | 12,800 picks | 12 picks |
Quick guide: nominal reed space is the maximum supported machine width, while usable fabric width depends on the fabric and setup. Heald-frame count and pattern-repeat capacity indicate pattern flexibility; shed opening is the warp-yarn opening stroke.
The unit shown is NPW410. Values are supplier ratings for the shedding device, not guaranteed loom production speeds. Actual JTM-508 output depends on fabric construction, nominal reed space, weft yarn, shedding system, and machine settings.
Core Mechanical Systems
The water pump produces the controlled high-pressure pulse required for weft insertion. Pump model, plunger diameter, and brass fittings are matched to reed width, weft yarn, fabric construction, and target speed.
Installed near the fabric edge, the leno device interlaces selected warp ends to form a stable selvage. Its setup is matched to the fabric construction and required edge structure.
NSK or NACHI bearings are used for the main drive shafts inside the transmission gearbox. Their precision and durability support smooth power transmission and stable high-speed operation.
Positioned close to the cloth fell, the temple controls weaving width and helps reduce fabric draw-in. The ring and needle arrangement is matched to the fabric construction.
The precision-machined nozzle holder maintains nozzle position and jet direction. Pump setting, nozzle size, and timing are matched to reed width, weft yarn, and operating speed.
The blower removes residual water after weft insertion. A Ø65 mm SS304 suction pipe and stainless-steel tray form a durable, corrosion-resistant water-removal path.
Control & Drive Systems
The HMI displays speed, production data, alarms, and key operating parameters. Integrated diagnostics support efficient setup, troubleshooting, and routine operation.
The electronic feeder measures and stores the required weft length, then releases it at the programmed timing. Feeder quantity is confirmed with the customer according to the fabric design and required weft arrangement.
Installed in the water circuit, the valve selects the required jet line in step with the loom control. Its specification is matched to pump output, nozzle size, operating pressure, and the selected weft arrangement.
Mounted on the main-shaft timing assembly, the encoder reports shaft angle to the controller for synchronized feeder release and water-jet actuation.
Electronic let-off regulates warp delivery as beam diameter changes, while electronic take-up maintains programmed pick density. Mechanical let-off and take-up are also available to suit the production plan.
Mounted directly on the main shaft, the X-Motor eliminates the conventional main-drive belt; auxiliary belts may remain in other mechanisms. Fewer main-drive parts can reduce transmission losses, energy use, vibration, and routine maintenance.
Core options customers usually confirm before final model selection and quotation.
