The thread guiding eyelet has been positioned sideways thus preventing the tensioning lever from touching the weft yarn during insertion. New cams for the tensioning unit accelerate much faster during the upward movement thus resulting in a straight insertion line with less strain and deflection on the weft yarn. The peak tension during insertion is reduced to about 50 % of the old tensioning & insertion system on Projectile weaving machines. This improvement makes it very hard for wide air-jet or rapier weaving machines beyond 4 m to compete with the most suitable projectile weaving machine for demanding applications.
