WARPING
The
parallel winding of warp ends from many winding packages (cones or cheese) on
to a common package (warp beam) is called warping.
OBJECTIVE
OF WARPING:
1. To
convert a predetermined number of single end packages, such as cones or cheese
into a sheet of warp yarn of specified feed and length.
2. The
individual ends in the warp are uniformly spaced across its full width.
IMPORTANCE
OF WARPING
1. Construction of warp yarn
beam.
2. Construction of
parallel yarn sheet.
3. Winding the predetermined length of yarn.
4. Modifying the faults of
yarn like thick and thin places, large knots etc.
5. Accelerating the next
process.
REQUIREMENT
OF WARPING
1. The
tension of all wound ends must be uniform and possibly constant during all the time of withdrawal from supply package.
2. Warp
yarn should not impair the physical and mechanical properties of yarn.
3. The tension should be
moderate to allow the yarn complete retain its elastic property.
4. The production
of warp yarn beam should be high.
CLASSIFICATION
OF WARPING
1. Beam warping
2. Sectional warping
3. Ball warping
BEAM
WARPING
1. Yarn is directly
wound from cone onto the beam.
2. This process is
suitable for single colour weaving.
3. The end product
is called warp beam and must send to the sizing department for further process.
TYPE
OF BEAM WARPING
A). Direct driven or spindle driven:
In which yarn winding speed on to the beam increases as the diameter of
the beam increases. Beam size is limited due to the increase in yarn winding
tension.
B). Surface driven beam warping:
In which beam gets its motion while in contact with a drum, revolving at
fixed r.p.m. in this case yarn winding
speed remains constant throughout the build of the beam.
SECTIONAL WARPING
A). Yarn is wound on firstly wound onto a drum and then wound
onto the beam.
B).
This process can be used for both single and multicolour weaving.
C).
The end product is called weavers beam and can be directly installed onto the weaving loom.
BALL WARPING
A). Ball warping is an intermediate process for storing yarn for transport,
dyeing or reserve.
B).
It does not produce a beam.
C). The usual form is a cross wound cheese in which
multiple ends are wound at the same time in a ribbon which contains perhaps 50
or a 100 ends.
