A reed monitoring assembly to monitor a weaving reed that have dents juxtaposed along longitudinal direction of the weaving reed. The dents define height direction of the reed and reed gap. The assembly includes an optical device with a first camera array, for taking images of a first portion of the weaving reed, and facing the first longitudinal side of the weaving reed, an illumination device to illuminate the first portion of the weaving reed, and a second camera array, for taking images of a second portion of the weaving reed, and facing the opposite longitudinal side of the weaving reed. The reed monitoring assembly also includes a controller, for controlling the optical device and for receiving image data from the device, and mounting means allowing a relative movement between the weaving reed and the optical device, along an axis parallel to the longitudinal direction of the weaving reed.

Reed monitoring assembly, drawing-in machine incorporating such a reed monitoring assembly and process for monitoring a reed with such a reed monitoring assembly

The monitoring device for a weaving machine includes at least one camera and a weft-thread beat-up device. The weft-thread beat-up device includes at least one reed and/or a batten and the reed and/or the batten extends in a longitudinal direction of the weft-thread beat-up device. The at least one camera apparatus is fastened to the weft-thread beat-up device and includes sensor elements arranged adjacent to one another. The camera is designed to record an image using the sensor elements, wherein the sensor elements are arranged in a row that extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the weft-thread beat-up device.

Monitoring device for a weaving machine, weaving machine, and method for monitoring

A drawing-in machine includes a harness element provided with an eyelet; an arrangement for displacing the harness element in a direction parallel to the length dimension of the harness element; and a device for aligning the eyelet with a desired drawing-in position. The device includes a sensor detecting an actual position of the eyelet; and an arrangement for displacing the harness element from the detected actual position into the desired drawing-in position.
