Lease and End Separation in Drawing-In Preparation
topic
Warp lease rods inserted through the cross created during warping maintain the sequential order of individual warp ends and allow separation of individual ends by the drawing-in machine gripper, with lease rod position management during drawing-in ensuring that each end is presented to the drawing-in mechanism in the correct sequence without disturbing adjacent ends that have not yet been drawn in.
Role
Enables individual end separation during automatic drawing-in by maintaining the order and accessibility of sequential warp ends through the crossing point created during warping, with lease integrity being prerequisite for automatic drawing-in machine operation since loss of the lease cross requires complete manual end identification before drawing-in can proceed.
