Low‐stress fabric testing for process control in garment assembly: application of robotics
P. Potluri, I. Porat, J. AtkinsonA robotic system for testing fabrics under low‐stress conditions has been developed at UMIST. This system is capable of conducting all the mechanical tests on a single piece of…
Thread motion ratio used to monitor sewing machines
J. Lewis Dorrity, L. Howard OlsonA prototype system for detecting sewing defects through analysis of thread motion has been developed. A piezo‐electric transducer provides information on the time of motion of the…
An XY‐Theta manipulator for flexible fabric part positioning
George R. Barrett, Carlos E. Farrington, Timothy G. ClappFully automating the apparel assembly process will require generic robotic manipulators which can be purchased as a complete unit and adapted to specific applications. A…
Thinking sewing machines for intelligent garment manufacture
G. Stylios, J.O. SotomiQuantitative fabric‐needle‐sewing machine interactions at different speeds have been used to construct qualitative rules mapping fabric properties to optimum sewing machine…
Automatic faults detection and recognition for static plain fabrics: applying the theorem of texture “tuned” masks
Shaw‐Jyh Shin, I‐Shou Tsai, Po‐Dong LeeReports how the theorem of the texture “tuned” mask was modified to solve some problems encountered in the automatic faults (including filling bars, oil stains, weft‐lacking and…
Image processing as a tool to improve machine performance and process control
D. Veit, I. Hormes, J. Bergmann, B. WulfhorstImage processing has been used as a tool to determine the trash content in cotton webs. The experiments showed that in particular seed coat particles are difficult to separate…
Fault detection and quality assessment in textiles by means of neural nets
S. Sette, M.L. BoullartQuality assessment and fault detection are important topics in textile research. Human assessment in this field, however, is subjective and slow. Presents an automatic assessment…
