Perhaps the show has brought the most advances to the fabric producers, and especially to the weavers. Examples of these advances in weaving are higher speeds than have been seen before, more automation, new tension control systems, a new Jacquard shedding concept, a new sizing proeess, pre-wet size, waste reduction, and on-line inspection. The most significant conclusion from this ITMA is that the developed nations could, in fact, drastically lower the labor cost and hence gain back the competition in the commodity fabric markets. In this section, significant developments in winding, warping, warp sizing, and weaving technologies are critically reviewed. Whenever appropriate, a technical background is given.","PeriodicalId":45059,"journal":{"name":"TEXTILE PROGRESS","volume":"30 1","pages":"22 - 40"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2000-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00405160008688882","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58906586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These innovations will result in more flexibility to the knitter, more output in first quality fabrics, higher production efficiencies, higher production speeds, and more profit. Achievement of these goals is a direct result of the machinery manufacturers having engineered into the process the aspects of increased and improved automation, better-built machines, improved and 'next century' electronics, aerospace metals in machine components, and simplified operation. Versatility and the ability to change styles quickly were the main focus of most manufacturers of knitting machinery. In addition to manufacturing better machinery, the conunitment to partnerships between the machine manufacturer and the knitter has become a focus of the machinery companies. Custom building of cylinders and dials, take-ups, wider cylinder diameters, on-machine quality monitoring, and precision interchangeable parts are all examples of a commitment to the customer. Because of increased worldwide competition among knitters, it is imperative that the knitter be able to expand productivity, increase efficiency, and become both more versatile and flexible. These necessities for the knitter are more achievable than ever because of the offerings of the machinery manufacturers at ITMA '99.","PeriodicalId":45059,"journal":{"name":"TEXTILE PROGRESS","volume":"36 1","pages":"41 - 50"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2000-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00405160008688883","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58906596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Machine sales dropped 33 to 50 percent over a period of 18 months, according to sources at the show, because ofthe over-supply of yams in the market. The mood was upbeat at ITMA \"99, although the number of new developments and new machines was limited because of these factors. Processing speeds were higher, but not significantly, over ITMA '95. Electronic process controls and monitoring systems were featured, detailing production, efficiency, and process and yam quality information. In contrast with past shows, color effects through co-mingling of yams at various stages of processing was commonplace. Heavy denier industrial yams seemed to be more prevalent than in the past. Much attention was also paid to elastomeric winding and covering processes.","PeriodicalId":45059,"journal":{"name":"TEXTILE PROGRESS","volume":"30 1","pages":"13 - 21"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2000-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00405160008688881","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58906545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
