Toika ES Computer-Assist Looms areoffered in 16-, 24- and 32-shaft configurations for both Eeva andLiisa looms. Traditional weaving looms are based on treadles, lamms,and jacks. The Toika ES computer assist loom replaces all of thoseparts with a single pedal – much like that on a sewing machine.The pedal means that the weaver requires no strain or effort to liftmultiple shafts – something literally impossible to do easily witha standard loom. Compared to its predecessor EW models, the ESseries brings the owner improved electronics, an even longer workinglife, easier maintenance and fewer mechanical components.
Powered by the latest version ofWeavepoint Software, The ES loom operates alongside a computerequipped with Microsoft Windows and one open USB port. The unit hasa direct connection to the USB port – just plug it in, turn on theloom and the computer and the weaver is ready to go.
The ES control unit is directed by thecomputer and software to select the appropriate shafts and open theshed automatically. The shed is a true countermarche and is eventhroughout as the ES unit automatically compensates for the shaftsthat are farthest from the weaver. In addition to three weaving modes(Normal, Fast and Slow), there is a reverse mode if the weaver needsto unweave.
The new ES series allows the weaver tospend more time planning projects and designing fabrics whileessentially eliminating treading and tie up errors. The ES controlunit can also be installed on practically all manual Toika looms aswell as many other brands of Scandinavian type looms.
Toika ES Computer-Assist looms come with Weavepoint software, reed, 100 heddles per shaft, cogwheel warp advance system, linen aprons, and adjustable loom bench.
Liisa is descended from the original Toika and is a solid and reliable countermarche loom and is sturdy enough for a steady diet of rugs, yet gentle enough for a sheer transparent fabric. Side members are factory-assembled to ensure maximum durability. The wedges, with which the joints are pegged, add stability and allow the loom to be easily taken apart and reassembled. Standing beaters are standard, though a hanging beater substitution is possible at an additional cost.
