Abstract
Tension control is an important factor in producing high quality knitted products and in maintaining good processing condition. Yarn tension during knitting is subject to be affected from many elements of the machine and process parameters. Several factors including yarn feeding speed, feeding angle, and needle gauge that are considered to influence on the tension variation were investigated. Yarn feeding speed did not show high contribution to the tension variation but feeding angle of yarn did show high correlation with the tension. No or negative correlation of the tension with needle gauge was found from the results. In order to keep well-determined process condition in the knitting manufacturing, it is strongly suggested that all knitting elements and parameters should be in the integrated control circumstance.
