Abstract

The yarn spinning process involves the interaction of large varieties of variables. The relation between the dynamic yarn tension (DYT), yarn quality, and production efficiency of the spinning frame cannot be established conclusively. Artificial neural network (ANN) is a promising step in this filed. In this research work, ANNs simulation and modeling is applied for the optimization of the DYT n to improve the production efficiency and quality of yarn. The research to date in DYT is insufficient to meet the developmental requirement of the high-speed and efficient ring spinning frame. One of the major problems facing the effective use of the ANN is the correct selection of the input parameters to be fed for the training of ANNs. Data of various input variables such as count, traveler no., spindle speed and dynamic yarn tension etc., was used for ANN modeling and simulation. DYT plays a significant role in the determination of yarn quality and its productivity in terms of end breakage rate. However, it has never been explained in terms of displacement from the original yarn path. This work is aimed to the determination and optimization of DYT at ring spinning frame. The influence of different yarn geometry parameters on DYT, measured by the tensiometer was investigated. The optimized DYT values for the machines, running at different speed and different counts were determined using ANN modeling. It is found that the optimized values predicted from ANN resulted in better quality, high production, and decreased end-breakage at industrial ring spinning frames. By the implementation of ANNs the optimum speed and effective utilization of textile raw materials can be achieved.
