Device and method for moving and controlling weft winding arm in weft feeders
First Claim
1. A device for moving and controlling a weft winding arm in weft feeders for weaving looms, comprising, for the movement of said arm, a switched-reluctance motor, and in that said motor is controlled by a first adjustment closed loop for speed control, which has its own reference variable and its own measured variable, and by a second adjustment closed loop for controlling the current that circulates in the phase of the motor, which also has its own reference variable and its own measured variable.

Abstract
A device for moving and controlling a weft winding arm in weft feeders for weaving looms, comprising a switched-reluctance motor which is controlled by a first closed loop for speed control, having its own reference variable and its own measured variable, and by a second closed loop for controlling the current that circulates in the phase of the motor, also having its own reference variable and its own measured variable; the reference variable of the first loop corresponds to the rotation rate that the winding arm must assume in order to correctly restore the turns of the weft reserve, and the reference variable of the second loop is constituted by a current value computed by the first control loop.

11. A method for controlling the rotation of a weft winding arm in weft feeders for weaving looms, comprising the steps of:
- turning said arm by means of a switched-reluctance motor;
controlling a rotation rate of the arm with a first closed control loop by means of signals of sensors associated with a shaft of said motor; and
controlling a torque delivered by said motor by controlling, by means of a second closed control loop, a current that circulates in a switched active phase in order to determine, by means of the signals of said sensors, the instant of switching from one phase to the other. - View Dependent Claims (12)
