Assignee: VANDEWIELE SWEDEN AB
Field: Handling (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC D  B | IPC B  D

Claim 0:
1. A yarn feeding arrangement for feeding weft yarn to a weaving machine, the yarn feeding arrangement comprising:
a motor driven bobbin drive and a motor driven loop buffer device,
a sensor configured to detect yarn motion,
a controller for controlling a motor of the motor driven bobbin drive and the motor driven loop buffer device, wherein the controller is adapted to:
drive the motor of the motor driven bobbin drive at a speed to feed a determined average amount of weft yarn to be consumed by the weaving machine,
drive the motor of the motor driven loop buffer device based on the difference between the output yarn motion from the motor driven bobbin drive and a motion model of weft insertion yarn motion in the weaving machine,

wherein the controller is adapted to determine the motion model based on a learning procedure, and
wherein the learning procedure is configured to operate at least one of the motor driven bobbin drive and the motor driven loop buffer device.
