TS 3394

TS 3394 is a terminology standard for shuttle parts used on conventional weaving looms, organised according to the position of the shuttle eye. In practical textile documentation, this kind of standard helps prevent the same component from being described differently across workshops, manufacturers and languages.

Naming shuttle parts by eye position

In weaving, the shuttle is the device that carries the weft thread through the shed formed by the warp yarns. Its body, eye and related sections are commonly identified by their location and orientation, especially where the eye sits on the shuttle. The focus of this standard is the presentation and designation of those parts, so the emphasis is on consistent terminology rather than on machine performance or construction requirements.

According to the supplied scope, the standard also includes English, French, Russian and German equivalents. That makes it useful in technical drawings, catalogues, maintenance documents and multilingual industrial communication. In general technical context, stable terminology supports clearer part identification, training material, and service documentation for weaving machinery.
