industrial looms
Mechanized textile machines
Industrial looms are large, power-driven machines for weaving fabric in factories, as opposed to smaller hand-operated looms used in homes or craft workshops.
The industrial loom was central to the textile revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries, transforming weaving from cottage labor to factory production.
Modern industrial looms weave everything from denim to carpet at high speed.
