Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1502979A1] A weaving loom has a blade (1) with a light sensor (10) monitoring the position of a weft thread (4) during insertion. After the thread has been inserted and captured by a post (3), the blade advances the thread to the end-stop (7). During the blade advance the weft thread passes through the light sensor beam, causing a change in the quantity of light detected which is then converted into a signal pulse. If the signal pulse is absent at a pre-determined moment, or if its amplitude is outside a given range, the weft thread is faulty. The measurement is taken when insertion of the weft thread is complete in a projectile weaving loom or a rapier loom.
