In the textile industry, the loom serves as one of the most critical machines for fabric production. The manual loom, in particular, has been a significant part of the weaving process for centuries. However, one of the major challenges in operating manual looms is the issue of thread breakage, particularly with the warp and weft threads. When either of these threads breaks, the loom continues operating without realizing the fault, which results in defective or incomplete fabric. This leads to wastage of materials, time, and labor. Moreover, manual intervention is required to fix the breakage, causing production delays. As the textile industry shifts towards automation and more efficient production methods, the need for an automated solution to handle warp and weft thread breakages has become more pressing. The Automatic Warp and Weft Stop System is an innovative solution designed to address this problem by automatically detecting thread breaks and halting the loom's operation. The introduction of such a system enhances the productivity of looms by reducing downtime caused by thread breakages, improving the quality of the fabric produced, and minimizing human intervention. This system is composed of sensors, controllers, and actuators integrated into the loom to monitor the threads during the weaving process. The sensors are responsible for detecting when either the warp or weft thread breaks, and they immediately send signals to the control unit. Once the breakage is detected, the control system activates the actuator to stop the loom. This automatic stopping process prevents further damage to the loom and fabric and ensures that the break is addressed before continuing the weaving process.
