Review of Dynamic Yarn Tension Testing Method in Spinning

 

In the textile processing, yarn tension is a very important parameter. The magnitude and stability of tension are directly related to product quality, production efficiency, and the smooth progress of subsequent processing. Excessive tension can cause the elasticity of the yarn to elongate, resulting in loss of strength and increased breakage; Too low tension can affect the forming of the coil. In addition, since yarn tension is not a constant but a fluctuating quantity, it is necessary to conduct dynamic testing of yarn tension.

Overview of Yarn Tension Testing Methods

The core component of the Strain Gauge Bridge yarn tension testing device is the Strain Gauge Bridge sensor. Due to the good linearity and high sensitivity between the output and load of the double hole beam elastic body, the cantilever beam structure shown in Figure 2 is generally not used at present. The schematic diagram of the double hole beam sensor structure is shown in Figure 1, which mainly consists of a cantilever beam, a wire wheel, a bracket, etc. Attach four strain resistors R1~R4 on the upper and lower surfaces of the double hole beam to form a full bridge circuit as shown in Figure 3. The strain is converted into a change in resistance, and then the change in resistance is converted into electrical quantity through a bridge circuit. After calibration, it is transmitted to the subsequent signal processing device to obtain information on yarn tension and its changes. Due to the advantages of high accuracy, good stability, low cost, and suitability for various environments, the resistance strain sensor is commonly used in measuring the tension of single yarns in spinning, winding, warping, and weaving.

In terms of the detection object, direct detection is basically used in spinning and knitting. By directly detecting the yarn in the contact or non-contact state of the detection element, tension data is obtained, and the detection accuracy is high.
In weaving, another indirect testing method is often used, which relies on adding sensors to the back beam of the loom to measure the warp tension of the loom. This device can minimize the impact of the measuring device on the control and adjustment system of the weaving machine, but the biggest problem with this indirect measurement method is low accuracy, and its lag is also difficult to adapt to real-time measurement and control in the high-speed working environment of modern textile machinery.
At present, the commonly used sensors in the market are still mostly contact based, and non-contact measurement technology is not yet mature enough. The most widely used contact measurement method is the three roller strain resistance bridge method.

Fiber Fineness and Tenacity Test

Image
  Test methods explanation We have tested 5 fiber samples using two solutions to test fiber fineness and tenacity: Solution 1 and solution 2. Solution 1 We use YG002C measured the fiber diameter, and YG005S tested the break force and extension. The fiber density is converted to denier from diameter using the formula. Then use the break force divide the density to get the tenacity. Please move to TABLE 1 to view the test result. We have attached YG002C parameter sheet in Appendix 1 and YG005S parameter sheets in Appendix 2. Solution 2 We use ZK100F measured the fiber density, and YG005X tested the break force, extension, and tenacity. Please move to TABLE 2 to view the test result. We have attached ZK100F parameter sheet in Appendix 3 and YG005X parameter sheet in Appendix 4. A better solution for fiber density and tenacity testing  We also have a YG005XD AUTOMATIC FIBER TENSILE AND FINENESS TEST SYSTEM, which has integrated function of ZK100F and YG005X; it is equipped wi...

Introduction of Sizing

Image
  Sizing is the process of applying size to warp yarns to improve their weavability. Weavability refers to the ability of warp yarns to withstand repeated friction, stretching, bending and other effects of stop sheets, heddles, reeds, etc. on a loom without causing excessive fluffing or even breakage. Unsized single yarn fibers do not adhere tightly to each other and have more hairiness on the surface, making it difficult to weave. After sizing, part of the sizing liquid penetrates between the fibers, and the other part adheres to the surface of the warp yarn. The sizing that mainly involves the penetration of the slurry into the fibers is called penetrating sizing, and the sizing that mainly relies on the slurry adhering to the surface of the warp yarns is called covering sizing. Ancient manual sizing involves spreading the warp yarns into sheets, applying paste with a brush or reed, drying and then winding them into weaving beams. Wang Zhen’s “Nongshu” of the Yuan Dynasty contain...

Selection of materials for jigger dyeing machine parts

Image
In the textile industry, the jigger dyeing machine is a key textile printing and dyeing equipment. The selection of its main manufacturing material has a vital impact on the performance, durability, and dyeing effect of the equipment. Stainless steel is one of the most commonly used materials in modern dye jigger manufacturing, especially 304 and 316L. Material selection for each component of the jigger dyeing machine The jigger dyeing machine is composed of a frame, an electric control cabinet, a vessel/top cover, a circulation system, a dye bath, a main roller, a guide roller, a tension frame, an additional tank, a debatching device, and other parts. More details about jigger dyeing machine in our company No contact with dye solution ​ For parts that are not in contact with the dye solution, the main consideration when choosing the manufacturing material is the use environment of the equipment. Generally speaking, the environment of the dyeing factory is harsh. We recommend using 304...
