Let-off brake dragging from contamination or wear, causing tension surges
Warp tension sensor zero drift or damage giving incorrect feedback to the controller
Back-rest roller bearing wear causing uneven warp sheet movement
Warp beam winding taper mismatch with the let-off motor profile
Blocked or worn main nozzle reducing air velocity and weft transport force
Relay nozzle timing shifted from cam or electronic setting drift
Weft yarn tension set too high, slowing insertion speed
Compressed air supply pressure dropping below the insertion minimum
