It is further because of the small number the components are not only inexpensive but also have a reduced susceptibility to wear. By the exact forced drive of the thread by means of the thread transport device there is practically no slip when starting and stopping the loom so that the otherwise frequently occurring weaving errors can be avoided. The same also applies to an exact maintenance of the bandwidth due to the precisely controlled feeding of the thread for a weft insertion needle.
