Introduction to fabric manufacture

Take-up Motion

Winding
Objective of Take-up Motion
Warping
The objective of take-up is to draw forward the woven cloth as a new pick is inserted in order to maintain the lin
Sizing formation and pick spacing constant.

Design Classification of Take-Up

Shedding
Take-up motion is classified as negative and positive take-up. Another way of classifying it is intermittent and contin
up. Intermittent take-up actuates itself only after newly inserted pick is beaten-up by the sley. On the other hand, c
Picking take-up operates continuously to draw the woven fabric. The presence of ratchet and pawl arrangement in t
mechanism makes it intermittent type whereas the presence of worm and worm wheel renders it a continuous one.

With little control over uniform take-up or pick spacing, this system is only suitable for very coarse fabric like blanket.

Positive Take-Up

In positive take-up, motion gets transmitted to take-up roller directly through gear train. The different types of posit
are discussed below.
