Automatic Stop Motions and Broken End Detection
topic
Warping machine stop motions detect individual yarn breaks through drop wire, photoelectric, or tension sensor systems that trigger immediate machine deceleration to prevent the broken end from being buried under subsequent yarn layers on the beam, with automatic self-threading or manual re-threading of the broken end being required before production can resume after each stop event.
Role
Prevents the burial of broken warp ends under wound yarn layers that would require complete beam unwinding to access and repair, with automatic stop motion sensitivity settings balancing prompt stop on genuine breaks against false stops from yarn tension fluctuations that unnecessarily interrupt production and reduce warping machine efficiency.
