A system for braking rotational movement of at least one beam is disclosed. The system can comprise a frame and at least one beam rotatably supported on the frame. Each beam of the at least one beam can comprise at least one sheave groove on at least one longitudinal end. A rope can have a first end and a second end. Each of the first end and second end can be fixedly coupled to the frame. The rope can be received within a portion of at least one of the at least one sheave groove of each beam. A tensioning assembly can be configured to selectively cause a predetermined braking tension in the rope.

Various examples are provided for non-stop tying-in process for weaving of textiles. In one example, a method for non-stop tying-in of loom warps during operation of a loom includes providing free ends of a replacement warp sheet and a warp sheet tail to the tying-in machine during the operation of the loom, where the warp sheet tail is provided through a warp accumulator; accumulating the warp sheet tail in the warp accumulator during tying-in of the free ends; supplying at least a portion of the warp sheet tail accumulated by the warp accumulator to the loom after being released from a warp beam; removing the tied-in warp sheet tail and replacement warp sheet from the warp accumulator; and supplying the replacement warp sheet to the loom during its operation.

A method for making tubular fabrics is provided. The method includes using metallized yarns including at least one ribbon which is less than 0.7 mm thick, the ribbon being preferably spiral-wound with at least one support thread. The method also includes using non-metallized main yarns, as well as making a warp beam including the metallized yarns and said main yarns, the warp beam having a linear thread density preferably higher than 40 threads/cm. The method may also include a step of weaving in which a tubular fabric is made by means of the beam warp with the metallic yarns arranged exclusively on the warp.

A warping system for reducing tension in a plurality of yarn ends wound by the warping system onto a beam. The warping system minimizes the number of contact points as yarn is pulled off of yarn packages in a creel and wound onto the beam. After exiting a tube, yarn passes over a roller and an expansion comb before being wound onto the beam. The yarn extends between the roller and the beam substantially in a yarn plane. The yarn can contact the warping system at only one contact point between the roller and the beam.
