Shaoxing Action Mechanical and Electrical Technology makes electronic controls for looms. The company introduction lists full-servo control boxes for rapier and terry looms, electronic dobby pattern devices, and electronic and stepper-motor weft selectors. Action gives 2005 as its starting year and Tingshan in Shaoxing as its base. Most buyers come to Action to upgrade looms they already run, so start the enquiry with your installed machine: loom make, dobby, fitted control units and software revision. Then say whether one unit changes or the whole control box.
Action's range covers four separate jobs on a loom, and each is quoted on its own terms. A pattern operating unit sits on the dobby. A full control box runs the drives and stop functions of a rapier or terry loom. Weft selectors choose the yarn for each insertion. If you need more than one of these, ask whether they come as one integrated package or as separate parts your technician joins up. [1][2][3]

Four kinds of loom-control job
Job on the loom
Where it sits in Action's range
What to settle in the quote
Swap the pattern operating unit
SXACT-GT2003-II, listed under closed electronic dobby
Which controller, dobby and wiring stay, and which firmware and interface the new unit supports.
Turn a mechanical pattern system electronic
The electronic stencil device, a separate listing in the GT221E/GT228E category
The exact mechanical dobby, actuators and control layout, with that device quoted on its own ratings.
Replace the whole loom control box
Full-servo rapier and terry-loom control boxes
Which drives, let-off and take-up, shedding, selection and stop functions the new box takes over.
Change the weft selection
Electronic and stepper-motor weft selectors
The selection mechanism, timing reference, electrical interface and who answers for the controller.
02
What to send Action with a retrofit enquiry
Write down the loom make and model, the dobby make and model, each control unit fitted with its board revision, the drives, the sensors and the operating software. Photograph nameplates and connection labels, and let the machine owner's maintenance staff collect them under their usual procedure. The note on preparing a weaving enquiry lists the loom details suppliers tend to ask for first.
Ask Action to answer with a compatibility statement and a drawing of the arrangement it proposes. A plug that looks identical can carry a different pin assignment, supply, signal type or timing, so the drawing should spell out each one.
Name the kind of job: straight replacement, repair or functional conversion. List every loom function that must still work afterwards, and ask Action to mark any part of your installation it has not assessed. [1][2]
03
Patterns and loom settings move separately
Back up the original patterns, machine settings and software identifiers before anyone touches the hardware. Ask for a list that sorts them into three groups: files that export as they are, files that need converting, and files that must be built again in Action's engineering tools.
Action's English stencil-device page mentions USB input, memory and pattern selection. That page belongs to a different catalogue entry, so request the file format, capacity and transfer method for the SXACT-GT2003-II itself.
Prove the move with one familiar pattern on the actual loom. Operators should be able to see which version is loaded, pick the starting position and restart after a stop with the sequence still in step. [2][3]
04
A commissioning order both sides sign
Write the commissioning steps into the contract and have them witnessed. Action's instructions and the owner's authorised maintenance procedure govern work on the machine. The sequence below is the buyer's list to agree before the engineer arrives, built on the same idea as a factory acceptance test. [1][2]
Freeze the existing setup
Record the original hardware, software, patterns and settings, and agree how the loom returns to them if needed.
Approve the interfaces
Sign off the wiring, the electrical schedule and the list of kept and replaced parts before installation starts.
Check the channel mapping
Run Action's approved diagnostics with a known test pattern and confirm each intended loom function.
Weave representative fabric
Look at pattern accuracy, selection and repeat changes under the conditions you agreed. If you can, run it on your own yarn.
Stop and restart
Show the approved restart routine and the required protective functions, with qualified staff present.
Sign off the revision
Keep configuration files, drawings, manuals, sample fabric and a list of open items.
05
Two pattern devices, two sets of figures
The Chinese page for the SXACT-GT2003-II places it among closed electronic dobby equipment. Its detail area gives no full I/O schedule, supply table, frame count, storage capacity or supported file specification, so those are questions for the quote.
An English page titled Electronic stencil device sits under GT221E/GT228E. It describes replacing a mechanical pattern-paper system and gives frame, weft, output and memory figures. Those numbers belong to that device, and each product should be quoted on its own data sheet.
The China Textile Machinery Network directory carries record 731193 under the exact Chinese name 绍兴市埃可迅机电技术有限公司, with blank introduction and address fields. It helps you match the company name. Association membership, a factory visit and controller certification are separate questions; the guide on how to read a manufacturer profile shows which document answers which. [2][3][4]
06
Support once the engineer has gone home
Action says it has offices in several Chinese regions and in India and Vietnam. Ask which office or partner covers your country, who attends commissioning, how remote diagnostics work and where spare boards ship from, then put the answers in the contract.
Request revision labels for hardware and software, backup and restore instructions, part numbers for compatible replacement boards and an escalation route. The guide to warranty, spare parts and after-sales terms covers the clauses worth adding. Decide who keeps the final drawings and configuration current after later changes.
The SXACT-GT2003-II is Action's electronic pattern operating unit, listed in its closed electronic dobby category. The model page gives the code and category but no interface schedule, frame count, file format or memory figure, so those come with the quote. Send the loom and dobby model, the boards and software now fitted, sample pattern files and the functions the unit must keep, and ask for an offer tied to one hardware revision.
Checklist and notes are not uploaded or saved after reload. Copy or download a draft to keep it. Opening the workspace does not send this draft.
Sources & review
Before you order, get Action's written answer on: the loom and dobby combinations it supports, the hardware and firmware revision it will ship, pin assignments and supply for the proposed arrangement, how patterns and settings transfer, which functions a new unit or box takes over, who commissions the work in your country, and the price and delivery date on a dated offer. Quote the stencil device and the SXACT-GT2003-II on separate data sheets.
