Online Control of Knitted Fabric Quality: Loop Length Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
Circular knitting machine makes the fabric with more than two knitting tools. Variation of yarn tension between different knitting tools causes different loop length of stitches duration knitting process. In this research, a new intelligent method is applied to control loop length of stitches in various tools based on ideal shape of stitches and real angle of stitches direction while different loop length of stitches causes stitches deformation and deviation those of angle. To measure deviation of stitch direction against variation of tensions, image processing technique was applied to pictures of different fabrics with constant front light. After that, the rate of deformation is translated to needed compensation of loop length cam degree to cure stitches deformation. A fuzzy control algorithm was applied to loop length modification in knitting tools. The presented method was experienced for different knitted fabrics of various structures and yarns. The results show that presented method is useable for control of loop length variation between different knitting tools based on stitch deformation for various knitted fabrics with different fabric structures, densities and yarn types. Keywords—Circular knitting, Radon transformation, Knitted fabric, Regularity, Fuzzy control

متن کاملLoop Length of Plain Single Weft Knitted Structure with Elastane
For decades, scientists have been trying to define relationships among yarn parameters, knitted fabric parameters, and knitting parameters with loop models. Recently, the geometrical loop models have returned to focus as they assist finding the effective parameters which cause dimensional changes during relaxation. Furthermore, they help designing knitted structures for technical applications a...

Investigation into the Curling Intensity of Polyester/Cotton Single Jersey Weft Knitted fabric Using Finite Element Method
Curling of knitted fabrics edges is one of the complicated problems of these structures. Therefore, study and measurement of curling in knitted fabrics is important. In this study, it is tried to model the three-dimensional wale wise curl of the fabric using finite element modelling. In this model the tensions in different parts of a knitted loop due to bending and torsional forces in knitting ...
متن کاملa Comparative Theoretical Analysis for a Knitted Loop Model
The theory presented in this paper differs from previous ones in that no arbitrary loop shape is assumed. Rather a strophoid curve, that is similar to knitted fabric Loop shape, has been assumed as the basic mathematical function. Additionally, the theory is improved by adapting buckled elastic rod theory, leading to a new equation from a certain mathematical curve. This loop model is assumed t...
