<p>A picking control method comprising a series of control procedures of detecting the change of the supply yarn package from one of the packages (3a and 3b) to the other during the weaving operation, preferentially setting a specific checking pin retracting time when the checking pin (7) is to be retracted for picking cycles for a predetermined time period after the detection of the change of the supply yarn package, and controlling the advancing and retracting operation of the checking pin (7) of the basis of a new checking pin retracting time. A picking controller (15) comprising a supply yarn package change detector (14) for detecting the change of the supply yarn package and provides a supply yarn package change detection signal, an initial data setting device (17) providing a checking pin retracting time when the checking pin (7) is to be retracted to release the weft yarn (2) supplied from the new supply yarn package (3a or 3b) and wound on the measuring and storing drum (6), a data updating device (18) setting the checking pin retracting time preferentially, a memory device (19), and a control unit (20).</p> |
