✦ Synopsis

Abstraet--A high weft insertion rate in a weaving loom can cause yarn breakage and a non-uniform tension in the weft yarn at shed closure. A numerical simulation model is proposed that is able to calculate the tension profile in the weft yarn during insertion. It is illustrated how the simulation model can be used to optimise a controllable weft yarn brake.
