Aiming at the serious wear of the cam surface in the shedding mechanism of the loom weaving, which is likely to cause uneven movement of the heald frame, this paper proposes to add a layer of copper-plated carbon fiber composite material to the cam surface to improve the cam wear during the operation of the shedding mechanism. In finite element ABAQUS®, the cam is modeled, material properties and boundary loads are set, and ALE adaptive mesh technology and Umeshmotion subroutine are also used for wear analysis. The simulation results show that under the same conditions, the wear between the cam and the roller with a copper-plated carbon fiber layer is much smaller than the wear between the pure metal cam and the roller.
