Abstract:
1. Method for controlling a weaving machine yarn feeding device, having a drive motor for driving a rotatable winding element in a predetermined winding direction, which winding element pulls off a yarn from a yarn storage and winds the yarn into adjacent windings on a yarn storing body, according to which method the drive motor is accelerated, decelerated or stopped by a control device depending on the yarn consumption from the windings on the storage body, the drive motor when controlled to stop being further driven at slow speed independent from yarn consumption in winding direction during a crawl phase for a predetermined time duration or over a predetermined rotational angle to remove a previously occurred yarn relaxation from the yarn between the yarn storage and the storage body, wherein the drive motor first is truly stopped at a point in time (t 2 ), and wherein the crawl phase is initiated after the point in time (t 2 ) of the stop in timewise or rotational angle related association either to the point in time (t 2 ) of the stop or to the yarn consumption depending point in time (t 5 ) of the re-start of the drive motor, respectively.
