Abstract: A new method and apparatus have been taught for storing error information used for debugging as generated by the initial and subsequent error occurrences. In this invention, a register with several bit ranges is used to store error information. The first bit-range is allocated to the initial error information. If the total number of the errors exceeds the capacity of the register, the last error is kept in a last bit-range. This way, precious initial error information (as well as the last error information) will be available for debugging.

Abstract: In the method a weft thread which is supplied via a thread brake and a thread presenter is inserted into a shed by means of rapiers with a thread clamp, with the thread clamp being set in a freely selectable manner for each weft insertion during the weft insertion. This makes it possible to insert weft yarns of different types and thickness into a shed. The system comprises a rapier (1) with a thread clamp (4) and an arrangement (4) with a first apparatus (11) for setting the thread clamp and with a second apparatus (21) for the actuation of the first apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a warp tensioner of a weaving machine. The apparatus contains a spring member that is in working connection with the warp tensioner and a control system that has a container communicating via a 2/2 way valve with the spring member in order to vary the spring stiffness of the spring member and the position of the warp tensioner from a terminal at the side where the weaver stands by increasing and decreasing the effective volume of the spring member.

Abstract: A control curve is calculated for controlling the yarn tension including warp and weft yarn tensions in a weaving loom by comparing a previously determined yarn tension curve with a desired value for the yarn tension curve. The control characteristic is optimized by continuous iteration. A further optimization of the yarn tension curve takes place by taking account of variable parameters in the yarn tension curve, for example yarn breakage analysis, beat-up force of the reed, and/or shed change. The control device for performing the method can be implemented with conventional logic. The method automatically carries out in an advantageous manner for weft and warp yarns a matching to the optimum yarn tension as a function of time on the basis of preselected parameter values.

Abstract: A sensor for detecting the stress profile of a thread that has moved. The sensor contains a signal generator, a thread guiding member and a body of resilient material. The signal generator is resiliently mounted in a vibration damping manner and in the manner of a cantilever in a body. Through this mounting arrangement the influence through mechanical action and also the influence of the thermal expansion caused by heat as a result of the heating up caused by the running thread are largely cancelled and thus measurement errors are avoided.
