Abstract
The textile industry has a great role in the improvement of any country’s economy. Moreover, the ready-made garments need different coloured high yarn quality, so yarn should be rewinded on plastic cones for dyeing. However, manufacturers are facing the problem of tension variation during soft winding process that mainly affects the yarn quality. Consequently, to overcome the tension variation drawbacks, the attainment of constant optimal tension values is required in order to: (1) Increase the winding speed while maintaining the yarn quality, (2) Improve the dyeing quality, and (3) Reduce the water consumption during the dyeing process. In this paper, a proposed yarn tension control technique is introduced to upgrade the soft winding machine, thus maintain the yarn quality and improve the manufacturing capacity. The proposed technique has been tested on Polyester yarn samples classified as; fine, medium and coarse yarn counts, to cover most yarn sizes used in the industry. Arduino Mega 2560 controller is utilized to implement the proposed tension control. The results are compared to the conventional system to advocate the effectiveness and capability of the proposed technique in overcoming the trade-off between tension control and machine speed that occurs in conventional system using variable tension levels.

The yarn tension is affected by air-drag on the ballooning yarn and the balloon shape leading to yarn breakage, which affects energy consumption and yarn productivity in ring s pinning26. In27, a mathematical model of yarn ballooning motion in ring spinning was established using few methods for real-time measurement of the yarn tension, whereas the dynamical behaviour of the yarn and twist distribution in a modified ring spinning system were investigated by Tang et al.28. Moreover[29], utilized sensors and displayed them to form a comprehensive information management system (IMS) of rapier loom in order to improve the loom’s efficiency and to guarantee improved quality of the textile fabric
This study proposes a yarn tension control technique to optimize a constant yarn tension over the soft package while speeding up the soft winding machine, which in turn increases the textile manufacturing capacity
Summary
Özge represented in[9] the performance of tension control system experimentally using a controlled disc brake. This study proposes a yarn tension control technique to optimize a constant yarn tension over the soft package while speeding up the soft winding machine, which in turn increases the textile manufacturing capacity. The proposed control technique will maintain the soft package winding quality with minimum neps, thins, and thicks, which will help improve the quality of the yarn dyeing process.
