The guide bodies (), () are part of a guide unit () which, as a whole, is adjustable in order to modify the distance between the guide path and the rotation shaft () of the drive wheel (), and where the drive wheel () is continuously adjustable in the longitudinal direction of its shaft (). With this device the clearances of the rapier rod with respect to the drive wheel can be performed easily, rapidly and with great precision, so that this device is able to work with a minimum development of heat and wear.
