FEELER REFLECT JJ983T1-FEAA1A-S Toyota JAT-500 Air Jet Loom Spare Part HL1017 Weft Detection Unit
Product Overview
This is the reflect-type feeler for the Toyota JAT-500 air jet loom. Original part number JJ983T1-FEAA1A-S, our item code HL1017. The head detects the weft by reflected light and sends the reading to the loom controller, which uses it to confirm the pick and to stop the loom when the weft is missing.
JAT-500 looms are still running in a lot of mills, and the electrical parts are where the trouble usually starts. The optical face of the feeler clouds with oil mist and dust, the reflected signal weakens, and the loom begins to report weft stop faults on picks that are actually good, or lets a missing pick pass. Wiping the lens helps for a shift or two, but once the surface is worn the reading stays unstable and the weft stop rate climbs.
This is the JAT-500 version, not the JAT-600 or JAT-610 part. The head is dimensioned for the JAT-500 bracket and connector, and although the two generations look similar at a glance, the mounting and the signal side differ. Please check your loom model before ordering rather than ordering by appearance.
The unit is made to OEM-equivalent dimensions, so it mounts on the same bracket and connects on the same lead as the original, with no modification to the loom or to the wiring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is this feeler for the JAT-500 or the JAT-600 series?
This listing is the JAT-500 version, original part number JJ983T1-FEAA1A-S. The JAT-600, JAT-610 and JAT-710 feelers are separate items with a different bracket and connector.
Q2: Can I use a JAT-600 feeler on a JAT-500 loom?
No. The two generations look similar but the mounting and the signal side differ. Please order the part that matches your loom model.
Q3: How do I know the feeler is worn and not the setting?
If the loom reports weft stops on picks that are actually good, and cleaning the lens only helps briefly, the optical face is usually worn. Replacing the unit restores the original threshold.
Q4: Can I order samples first?
Yes, sample orders are supported for quality checking before bulk purchase.
Q5: Do you support neutral or private-label packing?
Neutral packaging is standard. Custom private-label packaging is available on request.
Q6: What about the warranty?
Warranty is offered against manufacturing defects, evaluated case by case. Damage caused by wrong installation is not covered.
