| (54) | METHOD FOR MONITORING WEFT TRAVELING CONDITION IN AIR JET LOOM |
| (57) There is provided a method for monitoring weft traveling condition in an air jet
loom that includes a weft measuring and storing device having a drum, a weft stop
pin, and a balloon sensor that detects the release of the weft yarn. The air jet loom
further includes a weft insertion nozzle, a plurality of sub-nozzles, a brake, and
a weft sensor that is disposed within a width of cloth. The weft sensor is disposed
upstream of a position of leading end of the weft yarn corresponding to a brake timing
of the brake in weft insertion direction. The weft traveling condition is monitored
by grasping a time difference between a weft passage timing given by a weft detection
signal generated by the weft sensor and a weft release timing given by a weft release
signal generated by the balloon sensor.
