  • Patent number: 6431220
    Abstract: A take-up control system for controlling a take-up motion included in a loom controls the take-up motion according to the diameter of a roll of cloth being woven on the loom so that a proper tension is exerted on the cloth. A take-up controller included in the take-up control system controls a torque-controllable motor for driving a cloth roller to take up the cloth in the roll on the basis of an electric signal representing the diameter of the roll according to a control program to exert a properly adjusted tension on the cloth. The take-up controller can also control an actuator for pressing a pressing member against the circumference of the roll according to weaving conditions, or weaving conditions and the diameter of the roll, to apply a properly adjusted pressure to the roll by the pressing member.
