<p>A method and system for tufting fabrics are disclosed. In addition a number of alternative tufting heads are disclosed. The method and system take account of one or more of the following factors: the direction of traverse with respect to the filaments, any change in direction of traverse, the yarn type and thickness, the orientation of the needle with respect to the filaments, the distorting effect of the needle, and the backing type, in order to adjust the position of the needle relative to the positions of the tufts in the pattern in order to compensate for positional errors. The tufting heads are also modified to make them suitable for automation.</p> |
