Loom Features
Loom Frame
The K-Series comes available in 24, 32 or 40” (61, 81, or 102 cm) weaving
widths.
Advanced frame construction uses high quality joinery to improve rigidity
and strength.
Oiled hardwood construction is good both for longevity, beauty and the
environment.
Options
The K-Series has a limited number of options available based on your
warping and weaving preferences. These include:
Second or Supplementary Warp Beam Systems
As discussed above, you can use a second warp beam.
Rotary Ring Temples
Rotary Ring Temples are an upgrade available for this loom. Temples are
used to maintain good selvages and prevent draw-in. Add in the rotary ring-
type system to make the temples automatic with no need to stop and reset
as with standard temples. The K-Series rotary ring temples come with a
cover to prevent contact with delicate skin or clothing. The K-Series comes
with hidden, built-brackets making ring temple installation quick and simple.
Track & Mount
The track and mount system mounts directly to the rear vertical side frame
members to provide a stable platform for a tension box.
Raddle
Raddles are commonly used for loading plain warp beams when warping
back to front, as it provides the same functions of warp end spacing,
smoothing and tensioning as the reed provides in front to back warping. The
raddle is AVL’s standard 2 piece with a lift off top to make loading of the
warp easy. The raddle mounts directly to the rear vertical side frame
members.
Casters
Casters can be attached to the K-series loom to make moving it easy. The
casters are sturdy and designed to support the weight of the loom. When not
in use, the casters lock into place.
