I i-weft feeder iyithuluzi elivame ukusetshenziswa kuma-shuttleless looms ukuze livumelane nezinga eliphezulu lokufakwa kwe-weft. Kuyidivayisi evamile ye-mechatronics. Ishayelwa injini yayo, i-weft feeder ikhumula ngaphambili i-weft isuka ku-bobbin iye esigubhu sayo sokugcina, futhi lapho ifakwa i-weft, i-weft bese ikhishwa esigubhuni sokugcina. Ngemva kokwamukela okuphakelayo kwe-weft, ukungezwani okuvuleka kwentambo ye-weft kuncipha kakhulu, futhi umthelela wokushintsha kwe-diameter evuliwe uyaqedwa, futhi ukufana kwe-tension kuyathuthukiswa. Kungashiwo futhi ukuthi umsebenzi womphakeli we-weft uwukugcina inani elifanele lentambo ye-weft kusiphakeli se-weft esimweni esihle sokusonteka ngokuhambisana nezidingo zenqubo yokuluka ukuhlinzeka ngentambo ye-weft edingekayo ekufakweni kwe-weft ngakunye.

Isigubhu sokugcina intambo ye-weft feeder iyisilinda esibushelelezi, noma ikhoni noma i-prism ene-engeli encane yekhoni. Ngesikhathi sokugcinwa kwe-weft, intambo ilinyazwa ngokuhambisana nangaphezulu kwesigubhu sokugcina intambo ngokucindezela okuphansi okufanayo, futhi isivinini sokusonteka kwentambo yedivayisi yokugcina i-weft singalungiswa ngendlela efanele ukuze kwenziwe inqubo yokuqaqa intambo ku-bobbin cishe ngokuqhubekayo. Isivinini esiphezulu sokuvula sincishiswa sibe yi-12-13 yasekuqaleni, ngakho-ke ukushuba kokuvula kwentambo ye-weft kuyancipha kakhulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ububanzi besigubhu sokugcina abushintshi njengobubanzi be-bobbin, futhi ukungezwani kwe-weft okulinganiselayo kungatholakala. Ngakho-ke, ngemva kokusetshenziswa kwe-weft feeder, ukungezwani kwentambo ye-weft ngesikhathi senqubo yokufaka i-weft kuncane futhi kufana. I-weft feeder isiyingxenye ebalulekile yesistimu yokufaka i-weft. Idlala indima ebalulekile ekwehliseni izinga lokuqhekeka kwe-weft kanye nokunciphisa ukukhubazeka kwe-weft endwangu3
