    There are three main types of feelers used in looms to detect yarn: mechanical, electrical, and electro-mechanical. Mechanical feelers include side sweep and depth gauges. Electrical feelers include two-pronged and photoelectric designs. The feeler makes contact with the pirn yarn to detect if yarn is present or not, allowing the loom to run or triggering braking if no yarn. Mechanical feelers are robust, cheaper, and used for spun yarn, but can damage yarn and lose effectiveness over time. Electrical feelers guide yarn better and cause less hairiness but circuits can fail from rust.

    Types of

    feeler

    Types of feeler:

    Mechanical:
    a. side sweep
    b. depth (diameter gauge & penetration gauge)

    Electrical
    a. Two pronge
    b. photo electrical

    Electro- mechanical
    Mechanism of:
    A mechanism making contact with the pirn yarn to detect the yarn was present or not in the
    pirn is called feeler.
    If the yarn is present the feeler will allow the loom to continue running but if there is no yarn at
    this point then the feeler will activate the start of a chain procedure and finally on the brake
    and stop the loom.

    Advantages of Mechanical feeler:

     Robust construction

     Cheaper

     Used for spun yarn

     Mostly used in normal power loom

    Disadvantages:
    1.More roughly treatment is on the pirn yarn during feeling because of the slot in the feeler
    blade as saw
    2.the mechanism is totally inactive because of reducing the elasticity or breaking the return
    spring for more use

    3. The stem o f more using pirn is to be rough and then it loses its activeness

    Advantages of electrical feeler:

     It is better for proper direction than mechanical feeler

     Less hairiness of yarn

    It is less harmful than side sweep feeler

    Disadvantages:
    circuit may be uncompleted because of rust in the point of metal trip where the prong contacts
    It is not properly acts because of reducing elasticity or breaking of one or both of the return
    spring
