Take-up Motion | Let-off Motion | Secondary Motions of Weaving Loom Mechanism

Secondary Motions:

These mechanisms are next in importance to the primary mechanisms. If weaving is to be continuous, these mechanisms are essential. So they are called the ‘secondary’ mechanisms. They are:
Take-up motion
Let-off motiona.

Take-up motion The take-up motion withdraws the cloth from the weaving area at a constant rate so as to give the required pick-spacing (in picks/inch
