Abstract:
Start-up marks are considered as one of the major
defect in woven fabric, it occurs when the loom is restarted after
loom stoppage due to various reasons. This defect is more
prominent in high speed weaving looms especially with elastic
warp yarns and is caused to deteriorate the fabric quality. This
research paper deals with the mathematical analysis of the startup
mark generation in elastic tape on narrow fabric loom.
Mathematical analysis was carried out for both continuous
operation condition and under stopping condition of the narrow
fabric loom. A system simulation was carried out using the model
developed and compared with the experimental results to show
the accuracy of the model.
