Abstract: ABSTRACT AN AUTOMATED DEFECT DETECTION AND CORRECTION SYSTEM FOR A TEXTILE LOOM MACHINE The present invention relates to an automated defect detection and correction system for textile loom machines, configured to automatically detect yarn breakage and perform corrective actions without human intervention. The system comprises one or more yarn monitoring sensors for continuously monitoring multiple yarn threads and detecting yarn breakage based on yarn absence, tension variation or both. A controller receives sensor signals and, upon detection of a yarn breakage event, automatically stops the loom machine and activates a dual-end yarn holding mechanism to secure the broken yarn ends. A movable rejoining unit, positioned by a linear positioning system, aligns and reconnects the broken yarn ends using mechanical knotting, thermal bonding, air splicing, or equivalent joining techniques. One or more feedback sensors verify yarn holding, alignment, rejoining status, and yarn continuity before the controller automatically restarts the loom machine. The present invention reduces machine downtime, minimizes labor dependency, improves production efficiency in textile manufacturing environments.
