FIELD: textile.
SUBSTANCE: method and system for managing and controlling feeding at least one thread into weaving machine (2) as a function of its working step when making an article or processing such a thread, wherein such manufacture or processing is provided for a sequence of said steps corresponding to production of different parts of the same article or different operations of processing such a thread, which is supplied to said machine with corresponding feeder (1) with constant tension and/or speed, and/or controlled by sensor (100) monitoring sliding or any of its integral characteristics, such as tension, speed, diameter, number and color, wherein said sensor (100) and/or supply device is controlled by setting and control means (3), which sets their operation, said setting and control means (3) receives synchronization signals from machine (2) and detects - according to them - the above working steps and, therefore, process progress with respect to the product or manufacturing process, wherein said operation unit is programmed depending on said working steps. Unique synchronization signal is generated by the weaving machine with reference to each specific operating stage of the machine irrespective of duration of such stage.
EFFECT: invention provides an improved system and method of controlling supply of multiple threads with constant tension and/or speed into a weaving machine, possibility of simple and flexible control of each feeding device both on the side of programming, and on the side of coupling with the weaving machine, as well as possibility of control of feeding devices on any weaving machine, even not predisposed for such function.
