This document discusses different processes involved in preparing yarn for weaving. It describes an autoconer machine that winds yarn onto cones, improving quality by removing faults and adding wax. It also discusses high speed warping that winds parallel yarns directly onto beams for weaving single color fabrics at high production. Sectional warping is used for patterned fabrics and winds yarn in sections onto drums then beams. Sizing applies a coating to strengthen yarn before tying the new warp yarn onto the loom during drawing in or tying in for a new design or repeating design.

Lab Assignment

Autoconer Machine:

 To remove yarn faults.


 To improve the quality of yarn.
 To wax the yarn during winding process.
 To make bigger package from ring bobbin in order to get continuous length
of yarn on cones for weaving/Knitting processes

Feature:
 Auto splice without a knot.
 Automatically remove yarn fault.
 Make a bigger package in minimum coast
 Waxing device
 Pneumatic disc type tensioner
 Electronic yarn clearer
 Reserve ring bobbin

Working And Function:


 Making Cone package from cops.
 Remove yarn fault (Thick & thin place, naps, foreign materials, etc)
 Remove a knot of yarn by auto splicing.
 To wax the materials
 Minimize yarn imperfections
 To wax yarn
 Improve yarn quality
 Give the suitable shape of cone package
 Make uniform yarn
 Achieve higher production and less power consumption

High speed warping:


High speed warping also called Beam warping/Direct warping. In high speed
warping the yarn is wound parallel on the warping beam. All the yarns are wound
at once and simple flanged beam is used. It is a very high speed process and is used
for making fabric of single colour.

Features:
It is used to brand mutual fabrics inwards large quantities
It is used to gain weavers beam from unmarried yarn
The production is high
Large sum of yarn is required to gain a weaver beam
Sizing is done
Simple flanged beam is used together with drums are non required

Difference:
Beam warping is used for long runs of grayness fabrics & unproblematic pattern.
The sum of colored yarn is less than 15% of the total.
High production.
Large sum of yarn required.
Single yarn is used.
Less expensive.
It is almost widely used for cotton, linen, woolen & worsted yarn.
Uniform tension of yarn.
Weaver beam is produced afterward sizing.
Creel capacity is more.
Beam warping is to a greater extent than widely used.

Sectional warping:
In sectional warping equal length of yarn is starting fourth dimension injure
inwards little sections or sheets on a drum. Then from the drum it is transferred to
the beam. By this procedure nosotros straight expire the weaver beam. This is ii
phase method together with is used for making fancy fabrics.

Flow Chart of Sectional Warping:


Creel

Drum

Beam (Weaver’s Beam)

Features:
 This is suitable for making checked, stripped or other fancy
fabric.
 We straight obtain weaver’s beam from this procedure
 As sizing is non done, together with so multi-ply yarns or yarns
which gain non involve sizing are used
 Small sum of yarn is required to gain the weaver’s beam
 Sectional warping is used to gain a warp beam alongside a
greater fellow member if ends
 The production is less inwards sectional warping
 The yarn tension is less uniform
 It is less efficient than high speed warping

Difference:
Sectional warping is used for curt runs peculiarly for fancy blueprint fabrics.
Greater sum of colored yarn is used.
Low production.
Small sum of yarn required.
Twisted yarn is used.
More expensive.
It is almost widely used for silk & synthetic yarn.

Less uniform tension of yarn.


Weaver beam is produced afterward warping.
Creel capacity is less.

Sizing:
Sizing is an intermediate protective process which is done to prepare the yarn for
the weaving process. The process of applying a protective adhesive (synthetic/
natural) coating upon the yarns surface is called sizing.
Features:
Higher electicity
Higher yarn strength
Lower flexibility
Lower extension or elongation
Lower frictional resistance
Increased smoothness
Less weakness
Insensible to over drying
Less hairiness

Tying in and drawing in:


After sizing, the sized warp beam is prepared to be placed on the weaving
machine. High fashion fabrics generally have high density which increases the
demand on the quality of shed opening. As a result, warp leasing is becoming more
popular. Different lease combinations can be selected with the automated leasing
machines.

Drawing-in is the entering of yarns from a new warp into the weaving elements of
a weaving machine, namely drop wires, heddles and reed, when starting up a new
fabric style. Tying-in-the new warp ends to the depleted warp is done when a
pattern is not required.

After the depletion of a warp beam on the weaving machine, if there will be no
change in design, then the drawing-in process needs not be repeated. The ends old
warp beam (now a fabric beam) are cut and the ends of the of the new warp beam
are tied to the corresponding ends of the beam which is called tying-in process.
Then, the warp ends are pulled through the heddle eyes and reed until the knots are
cleared.

The warp welding machine is used to weld the warp end layer with a plastic foil
after drawing-in which provides simple insertion through the weaving machine.
This results in time saving at the machine startup. After drawing-in with a brush
beam the ends protruding from the reed are aligned parallel and stretched evenly.
An approximately 5cm wide plastic foil is placed on top of the lower welding bar
and a longer piece of plastic foil is placed on the warp yarns above the lower piece
of plastic foil.

Difference:
Tying-in process was done manually, which consumed a lot of time. But thanks to
technology providing automatic tying-in machine, which can knot single or ply
yarns of cotton, wool, synthetic and blend warp yarns as well as of different
thickness at a speed of 60-600 knots per minute. Topmatic and Magma of staubli
are such kinds of warp tying machines in association with TPF3 tying frame
provide high performance warp tying.
It is mostly performed manually but in large scale textile industries, automatic
drawing-in machines are used, where more productivity is required. When the drop
wires with closed D are used, the ends are drawn through the D of drop wires
before heald eye. Drawing-in process is applied for execution of new fabric design
on the loom. When the fabric design is repeated regularly, the warp tying
(knotting) process is applied to change a weaver’s beam. The tying process is done
manually or with the help of knotting machine.
