Principle of Textile Machinery

Spinning Machines:
The principle of spinning involves drawing out and twisting the fibers. In a ring - spinning machine, for example, the fibers are drawn from a sliver (a ropelike strand of fibers) through a series of rollers that control the fiber feed rate. The fibers are then twisted around a spindle to form a yarn.
Weaving Machines:
Weaving machines work on the principle of interlacing two sets of yarns. The warp yarns are held under tension on a loom frame. The weft yarn is inserted across the warp, either by a shuttle (in traditional looms) or by other means such as rapier, air - jet, or water - jet mechanisms. The insertion of the weft yarn at right angles to the warp creates the woven fabric structure.
Knitting Machines:
Knitting machines operate by forming and interlocking loops of yarn. In a circular knitting machine, the yarn is fed through needles that move in a circular pattern to create a tubular knitted fabric. Flat knitting machines work on a similar principle but produce flat knitted panels.
