This presentation compares conventional and modern looms. Conventional looms operate more slowly with lower production capacity, while modern looms operate faster with higher output. Conventional looms are manually operated, while modern looms use electric power. Modern looms allow for more design variety and improved safety systems compared to conventional looms. Specific modern loom types discussed include rapier, air jet, water jet, and projectile looms, which utilize different automated processes for inserting the weft through the warp shed.
