Dornier HTV Rapier Head Heavy-Duty Sending Receiving Gripper Set Hardened Jaw Reinforced Body Part

This is the heavy-duty rapier head set for Dor nier HTV rapier looms, supplied as a paired left-hand and right-hand gripper set. It is built for high pick rates: a thicker alloy-steel body absorbs the shock load that the HTV rapier band delivers at every pick, and the jaw is heat-treated so it keeps its sharp edge and its dimensions over long production runs.

The HTV rapier band hands the weft over at a fixed transfer point, and the head has to open and close in time with it. The jaw timing on this set is matched to the Dor nier HTV transfer point, so the weft is released and gripped at the moment the band expects, giving a clean hand-over instead of the intermittent weft breaks and edge faults that a mis-timed head produces.

Left-hand and right-hand heads are checked together before packing, so you do not receive a mismatched pair. On a loom running wide styles at high pick rates, that pairing is what keeps picking stable on both sides of the shed.
