Weft stop motion
The WeftMaster SW sensor detects any yarn breaks or yarn stoppages - even when the thread being used is only 7μm thick. It constantly monitors the movement of the weft yarn up to the fabric selvedge and continuously detecting whether the thread is moving or missing.
Instant detection
Results in higher fabric quality and less fabric waste. Application example: Screen printing
High machine efficiency
High reliability of the detection avoids false machines tops. Application example: Feeding bags
All yarn types
Even with threads as thin as 7μm (which is ten times thinner than a human hair!) Application example: Smartphone speakers
For projectile weaving machines
WeftMaster SFW-L Mini
For rapier weaving machines
WeftMaster SW 10G
Instant detection of a weft fault
The SW sensor prevents faults from entering into the fabric. This reduces fabric waste and increases production efficiency.
During production, the weft yarn moves over the sensing head with a minimum of additional tension. This is a unique performance based on many years of Loepfe know-how.
Higher fabric quality and less fabric waste
Monitoring of the weft insertion is performed on the entire fabric width up to the fabric selvedge
An immediate machine stop in case of a missing weft thread guarantees flawless product quality. High reliability of the detection avoids false machinestops.
Regardless of the yarn type, the detection remains effective even with threads as thin as 7μm (which is ten times thinner than a human hair!)
