Abstract:

The amount of spandex yarn delivery is difficult to adjust and control in weft knitting process because of its low modulus, high elasticity and high recovery rate. The fast response positive yarn feeder was used as the drive for yarn delivery. Analog control signal output was achieved using the pulse width modulation (PWM) with adjustable duty cycle. The high performance advanced RISC machines (ARM) processor was used as the control core, and the position and speed double closed loop mode was adopted. The real-time controller of the spandex yarn was designed to achieve the dynamic adjustment and constant tension delivery. The process requirements of spandex delivery were studied, and hardware design and software development of the yarn feeding controller were addressed. The synchronization scheme between the yarn dilivery controller and the whole machine control system was made. The experimental results show that the weft knitted fabrics produced with the new control scheme is even and tidy in circle, without dark stripes and with good elasticity, which verifies the feasibility of the spandex delivery control scheme.

Key words: positive yarn feeding, constant tension, spandex yarn, weft knitting, yarn dilivery control technology
