ABSTRAK Salah satu tahapan dalam pertenunan ATBM dobby ialah pembuatan desain tenun (gambar desain, penyusunan kartu dobby, pemasangan kartu pada perangkat dobby). Tahapan ini relatif lama terutama untuk desain yang rumit. Penelitian pembuatan ATBM dobby elektronik diharapkan dapat mempersingkat proses desain kain tenun ATBM. Penelitian meliputi pembuatan rangka ATBM, menyusun perangkat dobby elektronik, pembuatan software desain, pembuatan sistem kontrol dobby elektronik, persiapan pertenunan,

... dan pengujian ATBM (proses tenun). Hasil pengujian ATBM dobby elektronik dibandingkan dengan ATBM dobby mekanik dalam hal pembuatan kain tenun menunjukkan bahwa ATBM dobby elektronik unggul dalam hal pembuatan desain, mekanisasi proses tenun (pembukaan mulut lusi, penguluran benang lusi dan penggulungan kain), dan kemudahan operasional tenun berkat penerapan teknologi elektronik. Kata kunci : pertenunan, ATBM, sistem dobby, software desain, sistem kontrol elektronik ABSTRACT One stage in weaving dobbyhandloom is making woven design (pattern making, arrange dobby card, set up the card on dobby device). This relatively long especially for complicated designs. The research of manufacture of electronic dobby handloom is expected to shorten the design process of handloom woven fabric. The research includes designing of ATBM frame, arranging the electronic dobby device, making ofsoftware design, the manufacture of electronic dobby system, weaving preparation, and handloom testing (weaving process). Handloomof electronic dobby test results compared to mechanics dobbyhandloom in terms of fabrics manufacture shows that electronics dobbyhandloom excel in terms of making design, mechanization of weaving process (shedding,let-off andfabric take up), and ease of operation of weaving thanks to the application of electronic technology.
