ISO 8118-1:2006

Overview

ISO 8118-1:2006 is an international standard that specifies terminology, nomenclature, technical specifications, and designations for temple cylinders used in weaving machines within the textile industry. Temple cylinders are critical components in textile machinery, designed to maintain the width of woven fabric by pulling the cloth to the width of the warp in the reed, ensuring fabric quality and consistency during weaving.

This part of ISO 8118 focuses exclusively on temple cylinders, providing clear definitions and standardized dimensions. It is essential for manufacturers, engineers, and quality assurance professionals involved in designing, producing, or maintaining weaving machines.

Key Topics

• Basic Terms and Definitions
  Establishes fundamental terminology such as "temple cylinder," "ring," and "roller" relevant to weaving machine temples.

• Nomenclature and Dimensions
  Detailed identification of temple cylinder components and precise measurements, including axle diameter, ring width, pin rows, and roller diameters, facilitating uniform understanding and interchangeability.

• Technical Specifications
  Specifies exact dimensions such as the axle diameter fixed at 10 mm, ring sizes with varied diameters and pin configurations, and roller types with different materials and surface structures.

• Designation System
  Provides a standardized coding format for identifying temple cylinder rings by series, number of pin rows, pin length, ring width, and pin shape, ensuring clear communication and specification in documentation and procurement.

Applications

ISO 8118-1:2006 applies directly to weaving machine manufacturers, component suppliers, and textile machinery maintenance specialists. Its specifications are essential to:

• Manufacturing Consistency
  Ensuring temple cylinders meet standardized dimensions and functionality, supporting interchangeability across different machines and production lines.

• Quality Control
  Providing measurable standards for inspection and testing to maintain fabric width accuracy during weaving processes.

• Design Optimization
  Offering guidelines for selecting appropriate ring and roller types based on application needs, such as different pin configurations or roller materials (e.g., rubber, brass, steel).

• International Trade and Compliance
  Facilitates harmonized specifications that aid exporters and importers in verifying compliance with industry standards, reducing technical barriers.

Related Standards

ISO 8118-1:2006 is part of a multipart standard:

• ISO 8118-2 - Covers specifications for full-width temples, complementing the temple cylinders discussed in Part 1.

Together, these standards replace the earlier ISO 8118:1986 and provide a comprehensive framework for various temple types used in textile weaving machinery.

Additionally, ISO 8118 series aligns with standards developed by ISO Technical Committee 72 (Textile machinery and machinery for dry-cleaning and industrial laundering), ensuring compatibility with other textile machinery standards.
