Our load cells, torque transducers, and specialised load pins provide valuable sensor data for tension and torque measurements to textile manufacturers, one of the reasons textile testing instrument maker, James Heal, uses our products for their textile test machines.
Our customers in the textile machine industry need to ensure efficiency, quality and consistency at all stages of the process, from yarn to finished fabric. In textile manufacturing, consistent yarn tension is crucial for high-quality fabrics. Yarn tension monitoring ensures smooth operations during processes like spinning, weaving, knitting, and winding. This system detects and corrects deviations to maintain quality.
Weaving looms, which interlace threads to create fabrics, require precise tension control. A real-time tension monitoring system enhances weave efficiency, reduces material waste, and minimises downtime. Fabric winding machines, used to wind large fabric rolls, also demand accurate tension control. A force measurement system continuously monitors the tension, preventing defects and ensuring structural integrity. This application note covers how our load cells are used at all stages in the textile machine industry to monitor quality and consistency.
