Abstract
The transducer for sensing the position of a weft picking means in the picking path is mounted in a recess of one of the guide teeth guiding the picking means. The transducer is a piezo-electroacoustic transducer. The transducer may also be mounted on an exterior surface of the guide tooth and may be of a different type, e.g. a strain gauge. Other transducers can be mounted on other guide teeth to control different machine operations.
