Process, for monitoring and adjusting yarn consumption in hosiery knitwear manufacturing process, involves continually monitoring individual yarn measure usin rotational signals measured at supply units

摘要

In a knitwear manufacturing process to monitor the consumption of yarn from different sources, the yarn feeds to active kniting systems (1-2) from several non-positive supply units (S,E,R) using two different feed systems. The individual yarn measure (m1-mn) is continually monitored using rotational signals (S1-Sn) measured at the supply units (S,E,R). Also claimed is an assembly which compares the individually measured quantities of yarn (m1-mn) with corresponding target values (m1'-mn') derived from a masterpiece. The information is used to adjust machine settings within pre-defined tolerance settings matched to the yarn quality parameters. The information is presented at a computer interface with process control panel. The computer holds hosiery production data relating to the different types of yarn and supply processes.
