Abstract
A set of criteria is presented for the continuous monitoring of weft tension under dynamic weaving conditions on a conventional shuttle loom. A radio-telemetry system is developed that is designed for the direct measurement of weft tension within the shuttle itself. Components of the system that are described include the transducer, transmitter and amplifier, power supply, switchgear, and aerial; the assembly of these components within the shuttle and the relay of weft-tension traces to an external receiver and recording device are also discussed. The performance characteristics of the monitoring system are studied, and a typical trace of weft tension is related to the action of the various weaving mechanisms on a conventional loom.
