AB - In this paper, energy consumption of the griffes during their serving life is  reported. Griffes of the Jacquard loom with reciprocating motion and high  speed are the main suffering components during the weaving process. Under the  condition of high reciprocating velocity, the mechanical damage is an  unavoidable issue that will lead to a fatal collapse on the mechanical parts  and even operators. Therefore, finite element analysis is adopted and  conducted in present research to intuitively demonstrate the energy  consumption on the griffes. This will be benefit for the design and local  reinforcement of the Jacquard.
