Abstract
Provided are a sample warper and a warping method where data regarding yarn diameters of counts are preliminarily input and stored, counts of warping yarns as well as pattern data for warping are input, a conveyor belt feed pitch per revolution of a yarn introduction means is calculated with a warping width, the number of warping yarns, and a warping length (the number of warping windings), and the conveyor belt feed pitch per revolution of the yarn introduction means is controlled according to the counts (yarn thicknesses or yarn diameters). Accordingly, a surface of the yarns wound on a warper drum is finished in a flat state without undulation irrespective of the counts, thereby solving troubles in the next weaving step.
Claims7
A sample warper comprising
- a warper drum,
- a conveyor belt moveable on the warper drum,
- means for moving the conveyor belt at a feed rate,
- at least one means for introducing yarns and exchanging yarns for winding the yarns on the conveyor belt moving on the warper drum at the feed rate to perform design warping,
- means for controlling the feed rate of the conveyor belt wherein when warping yarns of different counts (different thicknesses), the feed rate of the conveyor belt is controlled according to diameters (thicknesses) of the respective yarns so that a surface contour of the yarns wound on the warper drum is finished in a flat state irrespective of the yarn diameters of the different counts.
A warping method comprising the steps of
- catching yarns by at least one yarn introduction means and exchanging the yarns,
- winding the yarns on a conveyor belt moving on a warper drum at a feed rate to perform design warping, and
- when warping yarns of different counts (different thicknesses), controlling a feed rate of the conveyor belt according to diameters (thicknesses) of the respective yarns so that a surface contour of the yarns wound on the warper drum is finished in a flat state irrespective of the yarn diameters of the different counts.
A group of warped threads in which the threads comprise threads of different diameters (thicknesses) warped together on a warping drum such that the surface of the group of yarns is in a flat state so that the circumferential lengths of the respective yarn layers are the same comparing a thick yarn portion with a thin yarn portion resulting in no tension differences when the yarns wound on the warper drum are rewound onto a beam of a rewinder.
A group of warped yarns wherein a surface of yarns having different diameters of different counts wound on a warper drum is finished in a flat state by the steps of catching yarns by at least one yarn introduction means and exchanging the yarns;
- winding the yarns on a conveyor belt moving on a warper drum at a feed rate to perform design warping, and when warping yarns of different counts (different thicknesses), controlling a feed rate of the conveyor belt according to diameters (thicknesses) of the respective yarns so that a surface contour of the yarns wound on the warper drum is finished in a flat state irrespective of the yarn diameters of the different counts.
