TS 7617

TS 7617 is a terminology and dimensionality standard for weaver's beams used in warp preparation and weaving. Weaver's beams are core components in which warp yarns are wound and delivered to the loom in an orderly way; consistent naming and sizing matter because they affect equipment compatibility and technical communication.

Why terms and dimensions are specified together

The scope of this standard includes not only the names of weaver's beams, but also their main dimensions, eccentricities, and other distinguishing characteristics. In general technical practice, grouping terminology with dimensional information helps avoid ambiguity when the same part is described by different manufacturers or for different machine configurations. It also supports clearer drawings, catalogues, purchase descriptions, and maintenance documents.

The phrase “main dimensions” refers to the key geometric measures that determine how the beam fits into the loom and the warp preparation arrangement. Terms such as “eccentricities” describe geometric offset or positional characteristics relative to the center axis; in general, these details matter for fit-up and operating arrangement. By standardising this shared vocabulary, the document improves comparability across textile machinery applications.
