Abstract: An electronic fast-starting system for a textile loom in which an asynchronous driving motor, whose phase windings are triangularly connected, is mechanically connected to the main crank shaft of the loom and is controlled by an inverter/controller receiving not only the set speed value but also the outlet signal of a speed detector situated on the main crank shaft.

Abstract: A device for continuously regulating the feeler sensitivity in the control of weft insertion in a loom. The device includes a selector having a memory into which the sensitivity value corresponding to the count of the weft passing through the eye of each rod is fed. The selector is electrically connected to a piezoelectric sensor-comparator, and is controlled by a logic control unit. The logic control unit provides electrical pulses or signals for selecting weft presenter rods of a presenter, and the same signal from the logic control unit is provided to the selector, such that the selector utilizes the signal from the logic control unit for providing the feeler sensitivity information to the sensor-comparator.

Abstract: A system for maintaining a constant terry height in forming a terry cloth despite loom stoppage, e.g., to correct yarn breakage. The system includes a proximity sensor which is positioned at a predetermined distance from a floating roller, and on the same side of the floating roller as a loading spring. The proximity sensor causes stoppage of an electric motor of the feed beam for the terry warp yarns which were previously driven in a forward direction by the electric control center. Upon sensing movement of the floating roller by a predetermined distance, the electrical control sensor causes motion inversion of the electric motor to reverse the movement of the feed beam for the terry warp yarns.
