SENSOR BALLON YHE-0176 J9810-00000-00 Toyota JAT-600 JAT-610 JAT-710 Weft Sensor

Product Overview

Balloon sensor head to original number J9810-00000-00 for Toyota JAT-600, JAT-610 and JAT-710 air jet looms. Item code YHE-0176.

Most balloon sensor complaints on these machines are not sensor failures at all. The head reads through a glass window, and that window sits where lint, size mist and yarn finish collect. A film builds up quietly over weeks, the sensor's signal margin narrows, and the loom starts stopping on weft detection in conditions where it used to run clean — after a package change, on a new yarn lot, in the humid part of the shift. The decision that matters is therefore not "replace the sensor" but "clean the window, check the gap, then decide". This page is written around that order so you replace the sensor only when the sensor is actually the fault.

Applications & Compatibility

Supplied to weaving mills and loom electrical teams maintaining balloon detection on JAT-600, 610 and 710 machines.

• Compatible with: Toyota JAT-600 air jet loom
• Compatible with: Toyota JAT-610 air jet loom
• Compatible with: Toyota JAT-710 air jet loom
• Original part number: J9810-00000-00
• Our item code: YHE-0176
• Mating glass window: HL1030 (J9810-00020-00)
• JAT-500 machine uses a different sensor: J9810-00000-0A (HL1027-1)

Note the suffix when ordering. J9810-00000-00 serves the 600 / 610 / 710 generation, while J9810-00000-0A belongs to the JAT-500. The two are close in appearance and one digit apart on paper, which is exactly how the wrong part ends up on a machine.

Quality Standard

• Sensitivity matched to the original, so existing amplifier settings remain valid.
• Detection checked against a moving balloon sample rather than a static bench test.
• Sensing face recessed and sealed so lint cannot lodge directly over the element.
• Housing and connector matched to J9810-00000-00 for plug-in replacement.
• Mounting face flat, so the head sits square and does not read the frame.
• Individual protective packing with the sensing face shielded.
• Warranty covers manufacturing defects (case-by-case evaluation). Impact damage and damage from incorrect wiring are excluded.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How do I decide between cleaning and replacing?
Clean the mating glass and the sensing face, check the gap, and run a shift. If the stops return with the window clean, replace the head. If they only return after weeks of running, the problem is cleaning interval, not the sensor.

Q2: Should I change the glass window at the same time?
If the glass is scratched or clouded internally, yes — a scored window keeps the signal low whatever sensor is fitted. Glass is HL1030 (J9810-00020-00).

Q3: The stops started after a yarn lot change. Is the sensor at fault?
Not necessarily. A different yarn finish or count changes the optical signal. Compare with a known lot before ordering a sensor.

Q4: Will this fit a JAT-500?
No. The JAT-500 uses J9810-00000-0A, our HL1027-1. The part numbers differ by one character and the machines are not interchangeable.

Q5: What about the warranty?
Warranty is offered against manufacturing defects, evaluated case by case. Impact damage and damage from incorrect wiring are not covered.
