Pick finding device

from WM no. 5044 onwards

1 Function

The rear shaft, which in turn controls the shedding

motion, is driven by the creep speed motor via an
electromagnetic gear coupling. The shedding mech-
anism opens the weave shed in accordance with the
weave repeat, so that the broken pick is exposed.

Operation

Pick finding forward or reverse is initiated by pressing

control button 1 or 2. The weaving machine then
moves automatically into the pick finding position and
the shedding motion seeks the shed for the last weft
insertion.
