TempoTreadle II for Schacht Standard Looms | Advanced Weaving Sequence Tracking

The TempoTreadle II for Schacht Standard looms is an electronic weaving assistance system designed to help weavers follow long weaving sequences on compatible Schacht Standard floor looms.

Compatible with the Schacht Standard floor loom, the system helps reduce weaving errors and improves workflow continuity during projects involving long repeats or complex weaving sequences.

TempoTreadle II becomes especially valuable on traditional floor looms where long weaving sequences can become mentally demanding during extended weaving sessions.

Quick overview:
✔️ Compatible with Schacht Standard 8 shaft looms
✔️ Available for 10 or 14 treadle configurations
✔️ Reads WIF files directly from a micro-SD card
✔️ Detects sequence errors during weaving

TempoTreadle II reads WIF files directly from a micro-SD card and automatically detects weaving sequences during weaving.

When the correct combination is detected:

• a sound signal confirms the sequence
• the system automatically advances to the next pick
• draft tracking becomes more fluid

If an error occurs, a different sound immediately alerts the weaver.

The result:

• fewer weaving errors
• better sequence tracking
• greater weaving fluidity
• a smoother experience during long repeats
• less mental fatigue caused by following the draft

Compatibility

The system is compatible with Schacht Standard 8 shaft looms using:

• 10 treadle configurations
• 14 treadle configurations

These configurations allow additional treadling possibilities and more complex weaving sequences on multi-shaft looms.

Particularly useful for:

• long weaving repeats
• multi-shaft weaving projects
• long weaving sequences
• complex weaving structures
• reducing weaving errors
• projects requiring strong workflow continuity

The system becomes especially valuable on projects where long weaving sequences can become mentally demanding during extended weaving sessions.

Reducing Errors in Complex Weaving

Compatible with Most Weaving Software

TempoTreadle II uses the standard WIF (Weaving Information File) format, compatible with most modern weaving software.

In most cases, simply export your weaving draft as a WIF file from your preferred weaving software.

This allows complex weaving sequences to be followed without requiring a computer directly beside the loom.

Weaving Without a Computer Beside the Loom

Why Many Weavers Appreciate TempoTreadle II
