ABSTRACT:
Jet looms have feelers for detecting whether a weft yarn has been properly inserted through a warp shed at an end of the warp shed.
Air jet looms have photoelectric feelers the sensitivity of which becomes lowered with time due to dust or fly waste attached to the feelers in operation. Water jet looms incorporate electrode feelers with insulation therebetween tending to be deteriorated due to water applied, and hence the sensitivity of such feelers is also reduced with time.
An apparatus according to the present invention increases the gain of a variable-gain amplifier for amplifying an output signal from the feeler as the level of the output signal is lowered, so that the amplified signal is maintained at a suitable level. The amplifier gain is controlled by detecting the level of the feeler output signal with an automatic gain control circuit, and feeding a signal from the automatic gain control circuit back to the variable-gain amplifier to energize a gain varying element in the variable-gain amplifier dependent on the level of the automatic gain control signal.
