Abstract
The tension is modulated by a weft-braking device controlled by a tension control block programmed for comparing the measured tension with a reference tension, and for transmitting a braking level signal to the weft-braking device, which braking level signal is adapted to minimize the difference between the measured tension and the reference tension. The yarn consumption speed is calculated, then the yarn consumption speed is compared with a predetermined threshold speed, and if the calculated consumption speed overcomes the predetermined threshold value, the tension control block is enabled, while, if the calculated consumption speed is lower than the threshold value, the tension control block is disabled and the last signal generated by the latter is maintained as braking signal, until the yarn consumption speed overcomes again the threshold value.
