How to Assemble a Toika Eeva Computer Loom

Learn how to hang shafts and connect the control unit on your Toika Eeva Computer Loom, presented to you by Art and Barbara Elkins, the founders of WEBS. Let Art walk you through hanging your shafts so to ensure your accurate and even warping as Barbara demonstrates how to connect and use the control unit.

Toika ES Computer-Assist Looms are offered in 16-, 24- and 32-shaft configurations for both Eeva and Liisa looms. Traditional weaving looms are based on treadles, lamms, and jacks. The Toika ES Computer-Assist loom replaces all of those parts with a single pedal – much like that on a sewing machine. The pedal means that the weaver requires no strain or effort to lift multiple shafts – something literally impossible to do easily with a standard loom. Compared to its predecessor EW models, the ES series brings the owner improved electronics, an even longer working life, easier maintenance and fewer mechanical components.

Powered by the latest version of Weavepoint Software, The ES loom operates alongside a computer equipped with Microsoft Windows and one open USB port. The unit has a direct connection to the USB port – just plug it in, turn on the loom and the computer and the weaver is ready to go.

The ES control unit is directed by the computer and software to select the appropriate shafts and open the shed automatically. The shed is a true countermarche and is even throughout as the ES unit automatically compensates for the shafts that are farthest from the weaver. In addition to three weaving modes (Normal, Fast and Slow), there is a reverse mode if the weaver needs to unweave.

The new ES series allows the weaver to spend more time planning projects and designing fabrics while essentially eliminating treading and tie up errors. The ES control unit can also be installed on practically all manual Toika looms as well 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 loom bench.
