Weft Break Sensors:

Rapier

G3w-8pny-600x400

Eltex piezoelectric weft break sensors are optimised for best performance and designed to fit the requirement of each individual machine type. They sense the weft yarn over the entire fabric width and detects all type of weft faults resulting in a high quality fabric. By using CAN Bus the sensor has the possibility to communicate with the weaving machine to further improve the performance.

The G3w weft sensor can replace E2016, E2060, E2071 and E2070 weft sensors.
