Spring II new generation 8/12 shafts

AA0202

Spring II 8 or 12 shaft loom

A beautiful floor loom with a parallel counter-march and our floating breast beam to provide consistent warp tension. The new generation Spring II features 18 improvements from the original.

Robust frame

The rear uprights, the new front uprights and the foot rail are 27 mm instead of 21 mm thick.

Extension to 12 shafts

The rollers for 12 shafts are pre-mounted on the 8-shaft Spring II. This makes adding a 4-harness extension easier when extending to 12 shafts.

New Shaft Connecting Mechanism

The shaft bars can be easily clicked in and out of hooks that remain fastened to the cords, allowing you to easily add or remove heddles. This design also prevents you from inadvertently reattaching the shaft bars to the cords in the incorrect place.

Better accessibility

The shaft sides are also easier to reach due to modified main upright shaping.

Back beam folding mechanism

Securing the back beam section is easier. And when folded, there are no loose parts to remove or potentially lose.

Floating breast beam cord guide

Spring cords are guided by two screw eyes and can therefore no longer run off the wheel.

Beater rail attachment

Attaching the top beater rail is more user-friendly, due to screw knobs.

New clamps

Clamps that serve two purposes in setting the warp are included.

Raddle cover

Inserting warp yarns into the raddle is more convenient and the yarns will not come out while beaming the warp onto the warp beam, due to the addition of two wooden strips that can slide over (and cover) the raddle.

Solid wood warp beam

The warp beam and cloth beam are now made of wood and are a larger diameter. The redesign in this section now allows for easier assembly.

Raising the loom for tie-up!

The option to raise the loom’s height for improved comfort tying-up the treadles, will be available as an accessory- as legs you can optionally mount onto the Spring.

Larger ratchet wheel

Heavier ratchet wheel and pall, ideal for high warp tension, while weaving carpets.

Brake Disc

The brake disc of the warp beam acts as a crank, with a handle that turns in the disc.

Lighter Treddling Action

At the top, the nylon wheels have been replaced by wheels with ball bearings.

Extra heddle space

There is more room for extra heddles on the shafts.

Improved beater movement

The beater movement has a larger radius and so has an improved arc due to longer uprights and a lowered hinge point.

Tie-up spacing

It is easier to hook on and attach the tie-up cords, due to more space between the upper lams and the lower shaft bars as well as smaller screw heads on the treadles.

Breast beam placement

Countersunk holes make it easier to place the breast beam onto the floating arms.

Instructions

Warping instructions are now included.
