TEXTILE FINISHING TEMPERATURE MONITORING SYSTEMS AND METHOD

摘要

A system for monitoring temperatures in textile finishing operations includes a temperature sensing device (10). The device includes a module (40) therein which is operative to capture data corresponding to temperature sensed at a thermocouple (48) as the device moves through a tenter frame (54) in engagement with a web (22) of textile material. The data captured by the device is transmitted to a computer (62) and visually perceivable outputs corresponding to temperatures recorded can be output through a display (66) and/or a printer (68). Data may also be output real time and may be used to adjust operating conditions in the tenter frame through communication between the computer and a controller (60) which controls temperature and/or air flow within the tenter frame.
