Abstract

An electronically controlled sample warper which automatically exchanges yarns and winds the yarns on a warper drum in accordance with a preset yarn order. A plurality of yarn introduction mechanisms are each rotatably mounted to a side surface of the warper drum for winding a yarn on the warper drum. A yarn introduction member is arranged at a distal end of each of the yarn introduction mechanisms for holding a yarn. A plurality of yarn selection guides are arranged in one end portion of a base for supporting the warper drum corresponding to the yarn introduction mechanisms with each yarn selection guide pivotally moved to protrude to a yarn exchange position when a yarn is exchanged and pivotally moved to retract to a standby position when a yarn is accommodated. Yarns are passed between the yarn introduction mechanisms and the yarn selection guides. A fixed creel is installed corresponding to the plurality of yarn selection guides supporting a plurality of bobbins on which different kinds of yarns are wound. A rotary creel is installed corresponding to the plurality of yarn selection guides supporting a plurality of bobbins on which different kinds and/or the same kind of yarns are wound. The yarns in the fixed creel and the rotary creel are accommodated in corresponding yarn selection guides, so that they can be used in combination in accordance with preset pattern data, when these yarns are wound on the warper drum, to perform pattern warping.
