Simulation and experimental validation of a ring spinning process
journal contribution
posted on 2006-10-01, 00:00 authored by Zheng Xue Tang, Xungai Wang, B Fraser, Lijing WangRing spinning is the most important system of making high quality yarns in the textile industry. Yarn tension affects yarn breakage, which in turn affects yarn productivity in ring spinning. Accurate information about how various spinning parameters affect yarn tension is essential for the optimisation of the ring spinning process. In this paper, a program to simulate the ring spinning process was developed using MATLAB, which can predict yarn tension under given spinning conditions. The simulation results were verified with experimental results obtained from ring spinning cotton and wool yarns.
