Weaving Processing
Weaving Process The weaving process consists of 5 basic operations, shedding, picking, and beating-up, left off and take up. Shedding: Separating the warp yarns into two layers by lifting and lowering the shafts, to form a channel known as the ‘shed’. Picking or Filling: Passing the weft yarn (pick) crossways the warp threads through the shed. Beating-up: Pushing the newly inserted fill yarn back into the fell using the reed. Let off: The warp yarns are relaxed from the warp beam during the above three processes. Take up: The woven fabric is wound on the cloth beam during the above 3 processes. The above operations must be matched to occur in the accurate sequence and not interfere with one another. The full sequence is repeated for the insert and interlacing of each weft yarn length with the warp yarns, and is therefore called ‘The Weaving Cycle’ Shedding Mechanisms: All weaving machines regulator the warp yarns to cre
