AVL Automatic Cloth Advance System 2001

The beauty of the NEW AVL Automatic Cloth Advance System is not only its sleek, clean lines which reveal its simplicity, but the fact that this is the easiest way to advance your woven cloth, ever!

Here’s why:

  • You can weave, having your cloth advance with each pick. No worries! No lost, too tight, or uneven tension! Weaving becomes a joyous rhythm between treadling and throwing the shuttle.
  • You can choose to have the cloth automatically advanced at 4 to 120 picks per inch with just one twist of a knob. It is so simple! Pick wheels are history. One adjusting bar offers the full range of picks per inch.
  • Your finished product will be a consistent piece of cloth. The beater hits the cloth in the same position, the shed angle is always the same, and you can weave faster and more evenly than any other way.
This new system is available on most new AVL looms and will retrofit on many existing AVLs.
