True, Asia is emerging the preferred choice for global machin- ery manufacturers both for development of new products and for tie-ups with their counterparts in China, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, etc. India this time over- took Japan and China in the Asian region with over 120 exhibitors and was next only to Italy and Germany in the West, with the latter having 320 and 210 exhibi- R. Natarajan, tors respectively. Another record set at Barcelona was the unprecedentedly high Managing Editor & Publisher number of trade visitors, at over one lakh, crowding in and around the different stalls at the sprawling complex. Just over 90 per cent of them came from outside of Spain. Variety and attractive designs featured the products on display, and the surging demand from individual companies for their specific products was met forthwith. Besides spot bookings, huge trade transactions are under negotiation and would be finalised soon. Leading industry events like the World Textile Summit, Sustainable Textile Leaders Roundtable and the Textile Dyestuffs and Chemical Leaders Forum were all at- tended by industry professionals in large numbers. The over-enthusiasm both among exhibitors and visitors confirm the general impression that the next edition of ITMA to be held at Milan in Italy in November 2015 would be much bigger, both in magnitude and popularity. This was based on the optimism among industry leaders that if the Barcelona show which came when the world economy is passing through a worst-ever crisis, the 2015 event can’t be any different but be much bigger in size. Why, hectic preparations for the show are underway even now. In the emerging scenario, India would do well to successfully tackle the growing competition from its Asian rivals. The Textile Engineering Industry (TEI) is currently doing pretty well in anticipation of a bet- ter performance by the textile industry. On its part, the Government has already withdrawn the suspension of TUFS, which is now extended during the 12th Plan period as well. With the latest policy thrust on tech- nical textiles, special sops have been announced by the Textile Minister to aid the industry growth. These include two per cent duty credit for exports to the US and the European Union, and extension of the Market Linked Focus Product Scheme (MLFPS) to cover more textile items for export. How far these measures would favourably impact the textile and machinery industries, time alone will tell. 6 | THE TEXTILE Magazine OCTOBER 2011 INDUSTRY NEWS Fresh sops to help textile sector revival announced as well”.

From this a future opportunity is provided to substitute the subjective warp let-off adjustment by a model of tension control. The outcome of this is a higher reproducibility with associated increasing process reliability and rising product quality. Key words: Multiaxial fabric, non-crimp fabric (NCF), warp knitting machine, warp yarn tension, yarn tension control. Initial situation warp knitted glass or carbon fibre layers. These are made on warp knitting machines with multiaxial weft insertion.

Notation of warp knitted fabrics is not easy lapping movement of warp yarn guide. The lappings are two like that of weft knitted fabrics. The degree of shifting, types depending of the movement of guide bar with yarn design areas, numbers of overlaps are the main things relative to needle surface and termed as overlap and considered during warp knitted fabrics designing. The underlap. Overlap is the lateral movement of the guide bars formula was developed by considering degree of wale on the beard or hook side of the needle. This movement is shift and number of overlaps in one line in the knitted normally restricted to one needle space. Underlap is the fabrics/structure. The formula will help warp knit lateral movement of the guide bars on the side of the needle designers particularly for those designing without remote from the hook or beard. This movement is limited software. The formulation was done by analyzing only by the mechanical considerations. It is the connection different types of warp knit structures.

  • 19. Principles of Yarn Requirements for Knitting
    19. Principles of Yarn Requirements for Knitting Errol Wood Learning objectives On completion of this lecture you should be able to: • Describe the general methods of forming textile fabrics; • Outline the fibre and yarn requirements for machine knitwear • Describe the steps in manufacturing and preparing yarn for knitting Key terms and concepts Weft knitting, warp knitting, fibres, fibre diameter, worsted system, yarn count, steaming, clearing, winding, lubrication, needle loop, sinker loop, courses, wales, latch needle, bearded needle Introduction Knitting as a method of converting yarn into fabric begins with the bending of the yarn into either weft or warp loops. These loops are then intermeshed with other loops of the same open or closed configuration in either a horizontal or vertical direction. These directions correspond respectively to the two basic forms of knitting technology – weft and warp knitting. In recent decades few sectors of the textile industry have grown as rapidly as the machine knitting industry. Advances in knitting technologies and fibres have led to a diverse range of products on the market, from high quality apparel to industrial textiles. The knitting industry can be divided into four groups – fully fashioned, flat knitting, circular knitting and warp knitting. Within the wool industry both fully fashioned and flat knitting are widely used. Circular knitting is limited to certain markets and warp knitting is seldom used for wool. This lecture covers the fibre and yarn requirements for knitting, and explains the formation of knitted structures. A number of texts are useful as general references for this lecture; (Wignall, 1964), (Gohl and Vilensky, 1985) and (Spencer, 1986).

  • 1.2 Textile Fibres
    1 Fundamental Aspects of Textile Fibres 1.1 Textiles The modern definition of the word textile, namely (n.) a type of cloth or woven fabric [1], reflects the early seventeenth century origins of the word as relating to a woven fabric and the process of weaving. Nowadays, the word has more extensive meanings and associations, such as textile-filament,-fibre,-yarn and -fabric, and relates to the preparation of knitted, tufted and non-woven fabrics, as well as woven fabrics. In a similar vein, the modern definition of the word fibre,asa thread or filament from which a vegetable tissue, mineral substance, or textile is formed [1], also is the result of considerable linguistic evolution since its origins in the early fifteenth century [2] to describe lobes of the liver and entrails [1]. Essentially, textile materials can be considered as principally cohesive, fibrous assemblies in which individual fibres are assembled via friction. A wide range of textiles is commercially available, the different types of such products varying, markedly, in terms of both the geometric arrangement of the fibrous materials (e.g. woven fabric, yarn and non-woven) and the derivation, structure, physical characteristics and chemical properties of the component textile fibres. Since, in its broadest sense, the theory of the dyeing of textiles concerns the nature of the interactions that operate between such fibrous assemblies and dyes, these interactions can be considered in terms of three aspects: (1) the gross structural arrangement of the fibrous assembly (e.g. yarn, woven fabric and garment); (2) the constituents of the fibrous assembly (i.e.

Fiz software supports the creative side of fashion from planning and design all the way to 3D virtual sam- pling. With Fiz, virtual sampling becomes a communica- tion tool that not only accurately represents the prod- uct, but digitally bridges the gap between the studio and the factory as well. Faithful reproduction of the original design avoids unnecessary sampling and advo- cates sustainability through digital transformation. “Fiz” is based on the “fizz” of carbonation. It repre- sents energy, excitement, vitality and spirit—just what today’s fashion industry needs. As the name of SHIMA SEIKI’s new design software, Fiz symbolizes inspiration for creativity as it bubbles up like a well-spring and makes your designs sparkle!
