Abstract

Method of controlling a plurality of relay nozzles (RNx) is a jet weaving machine. These nozzles are consecutively actuated for supporting the insertion of the weft yarn (WY) into the shed of the weaving machine and up to the arrival end (AE) of said shed by means of consecutively opening solenoid valve associated with nozzles. The valves are controlled on the basis of calculated information representing the momentary real position of the weft yarn (WY) during it path in the shed. The invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out said method.
