Distortion correction

Weft straightening is crucial for the textile finishing industry

Every one of us has probably owned a pair of trousers where the trouser legs have always been twisted. An annoying phenomenon, which is due to the inferior quality of the material from which the trousers were made. The fabric was distorted.

The order of the weft and warp, knitted courses and wales, rows of tufting or sewing threads give the textile the structure and character that should be retained through all stages of production. Distorted fabrics cause problems throughout the entire production chain. Fabric distortions mean reworking, complaints, rejects and returns. Fabric distortions cost money. Distortion detection and distortion correction are therefore crucial for a trouble-free production process.

    Distortion correction

    Key task in textile finishing

    The production of high-quality textiles requires equipment that monitors critical parameters to maintain speed and quality of the production. Controlling and minimizing distortion in a finishing process is one of the key tasks of a weft straightening system.

    Unwanted distortion is usually caused by uneven distribution of tension across the fabric web. The first step to a perfectly straightened web is the determination and analysis of the distortion. This data is then used to control a weft straightener, which corrects the measured skew and bow distortion.
