Abstract
A measuring apparatus for the measurement of the cloth tension in weaving machines comprises a probe element and a guide part to which the probe element is connected in order to guide the probe element. The measuring apparatus furthermore comprises a holder to which the guide part is secured and a sensor element which is in contact with the probe element in such a manner that a force which acts on the probe element causes a corresponding change in the sensor element. In this the guide part is attached at one side to the holder, the probe element is spaced from the attachment of the guide part, and the measuring apparatus is executed as a module.
Claims15
A measuring apparatus for measuring the cloth tension in a weaving machine, comprising a probe element in order to pick up the contact pressure exerted on a cloth and a force vector resulting therefrom, a guide part to which the probe element is connected in order to guide the probe element in the direction of the force vector, a holder to which the guide part is attached, and a sensor element which is in active contact with the probe element, so that the force vector which acts on the probe element causes a corresponding change in the sensor element,
- wherein
- the guide part is attached at one side to the holder, wherein the probe element is spaced from the attachment of the guide part, and wherein the measuring apparatus is executed as an independent constructional unit.
A weaving machine comprising at least one measuring apparatus for measuring the cloth tension, wherein the measuring apparatus comprises a probe element in order to pick up the contact pressure exerted on a cloth and a force vector resulting therefrom, a guide part to which the probe element is connected in order to guide the probe element in the direction of the force vector, a holder to which the guide part is attached, and a sensor element which is in active contact with the probe element, so that the force vector which acts on the probe element causes a corresponding change in the sensor element,
- wherein
- the guide part is attached at one side to the holder, wherein the probe element is spaced from the attachment of the guide part, and wherein the measuring apparatus is executed as an independent constructional unit.
A weaving machine comprising two warp beams, wherein the weaving machine is equipped with at least one measuring apparatus for the measurement of cloth tension for each warp beam, wherein the respective measuring apparatuses for the measurement of the cloth tension are executed as separate modules.
