Abstract

A method for monitoring the transport of a thread in a weaving machine is presented in which the thread includes thread sections (21, 21.i) which are transported with an associated speed (vi). In this method, values (24) of at least one kinematic measurement parameter of at least one thread section (21, 21.i) are measured and, based on the measured values (24), approximation values (25) of the tensile force which acts on at least one thread section (21, 21.i) are calculated by means of a computation model (2). The computed approximation values (25) are displayed for monitoring purposes.
