Objective
Geometric distortions of carpets due to stresses induced by mechanical transport during finishing processes can lead to defects of the produced goods, e.g. concerning the pattern. The problem typically affects about 15 - 20 % of the production and can be estimated to result in commercial losses up to several 100.000 ECU for the average European SME. Online control mechanisms which can avoid distortions are still not in use. Only manual corrections, which demand a big amount of man power and time are possible at the present time. Optoelectronic sensors which can detect distortions could control the driving mechanism of the finishing aggregates and the fabric guide could solve this problem. The proposed work shall lead to optoelectronical sensors which allow to construct an online control system which can correct the straightness of the fabric by controlling and regulating the transport mechanism. The problems shall be evaluated in this proposed project e.g. on tenter frames of dyeing machines and dryers on critical places. Those places e.g. are the inlets of finishing machines or other points within the machines which are to be investigated. The principle of the control units to be developed shall be usable on most kinds of finishing machines and to be universally applicable.
