Indwangu ye-Rapier izesekeli ziwuhlobo lwezesekeli ze-shuttleless looms. Intengo yayo iphansi kunamanye ama-looms, futhi ububanzi bokusebenza kwayo bubanzi. Enqubweni yokukhiqiza, ukufakwa kwe-weft ngesivinini esiphezulu kwe-rapier loom kwenza ukusetshenziswa kwe-rapier kanye nebhande lebhande libe ngaphezu kwesigamu sengqikithi yokusetshenziswa kwempahla ye-rapier loom. Ngakho-ke, ukuthi ungakugwema kanjani ngempumelelo ukugqokwa kwe-rapier nebhande le-rapier lezinsiza ze-rapier loom nokwelula impilo yazo yesevisi kudlala indima ebalulekile ekongeni izindleko zokukhiqiza, ukuthuthukisa ikhwalithi yomkhiqizo, kanye nokuthuthukisa ukuncintisana kwemakethe yomkhiqizo.

Ikhanda le-rapier nebhande le-rapier lezesekeli ze-rapier loom yizici ezibalulekile ze-rapier loom ukuqedela umsebenzi wokufaka i-weft. Ukudluliselwa phakathi kwebhande le-rapier kanye nesondo le-rapier le-rapier loom kuwuhlobo olukhethekile lokudlulisela ibhande: ibhande le-rapier linembobo engunxande, futhi ngesikhathi senqubo yokudlulisela, kokubili ingxenye yezimpande zezinyo namazinyo okuxhumana wembobo yebhande le-rapier. udonga bathembisene umshado. Ngesikhathi senqubo yokufaka i-weft ye-rapier loom, intambo ye-weft ihlala ilawulwa ngokukhutheleyo i-rapier, okwenza iphutha lokufaka i-weft libe lincane futhi ukuthembeka kuphezulu. Uma i-rapier isigqokile, izoholela ekuhlulekeni kokufakwa kwe-weft, futhi ibangele ngisho nenani elikhulu lokuphuka kwe-warp ezimweni ezinzima, okuthinta ikhwalithi yendawo yendwangu.
