Mechatronics in Textile Industry - An Overview

Abstract

Mechatronics in textile engineering is a combination of different engineering disciplines such as electronic, electrical engineering, telecommunication engineering and many more. In mechatronics the main area covers skill and knowledge whereas core area covers core skills, knowledge, and life skills. An important consideration in mechatronics is the machine learning, which means learning through machine algorithms having wide applications. The application of mechatronics in textile covers area like designing of textile machinery for 3D printing, braiding m/c, weaving mc/s, yarn spinning, texturing, intelligent systems, etc. Application of robotics in textile as a reliable technology is to respond fast during changes. Another important application for textile industry is to reduce the human efforts during labour intensive processing. Automated sewing robots comply with the role of reducing the need for human labours. Automatic handling and manipulation of labours can solve the problem of cost reduction by improving production with lowering labour costs. It is established that the design handling control systems for any 3D model of fabric drape with the use of finite element method and a particle method can simplify the process.
