Abstract

We developed a single-channel thread sensor for a rotary bobbin by optical sensing and analyzed the signal characteristics. A specially designed mount made of ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) resin that encapsulated an optical sensor was fabricated by using a 3D printer and was attached to the rotary bobbin system. Stable control on a weaving machine was achieved by observing the difference in the output signals of an optical sensor system, which vary significantly according to the states of the thread in the weaving operation. The optical sensor effectively detects an unintentional thread cut and run-out during weaving fast enough to enable prompt stopping of the weaving machine, thereby minimizing the loss of expensive fabrics.
