(54) | Warp feeding method and warp feeding device in loom |
(57) A warp feeding method in a loom in which a let-off device (5) and a take-up device
(8) have a let-off motor (5c) and a take-up motor (8c) as driving sources, respectively,
is provided. The let-off motor (5c) and the take-up motor (8c) are independent of
a main driving motor of the loom. The method includes the steps of performing a warp
feeding operation by driving the let-off motor (5c) and the take-up motor (8c) while
the main driving motor is stopped; during the warp feeding operation, detecting a
tension of a warp; comparing a warp tension value that is based on the detection with
a previously set reference value of the tension of the warp; and if the warp tension
value is not the reference value, performing tension control for returning the tension
of the warp to the reference value in accordance with a previously set control mode
in which the let-off motor (5c) and the take-up motor (8c) are control objects.
