Text B Computerized inspection system

Today's textile mills use high-speed looms to weave yarn into cloth. Inspectors in the mill manually feel and visually examine the cloth, looking for defects.

Because of current off-line inspection methods, potentially thousands of yards of defective, off-quality material could be made before the problem is recognized.

Therefore, to provide 100% reliable inspection, new technologies are needed to automate and improve the current process for inspecting fabric while it is being woven.

Researchers first had to familiarize themselves with the complexities of textile manufacturing. They had to know about cotton and polymers, different weave types, and yarn thicknesses. They observed the weaving process. So they set out to develop an optical device to measure pick density and to locate in real time fabric flaws The result was the pick measurement device, which is cheaper than conventional camera systems used for textile inspection and easier to install on existing looms.

The pick measurement device prototype tested in Oak Ridge was installed at the Glen Raven plant in Burnsville, North Carolina. It was then moved to the Institute of Textile Technology""(ITT) in Charlottesville for final testing. The device has been patented and licensed to ITT, which will help manufacture, market, and sell the device to the textile industry. The cost of the commercial device is estimated to be $1200 and the cost of using it is estimated to be 1% of that for a human inspector. The device is believed to find widespread use in the textile industry and to help make textile manufacturers more competitive in both U.S. and world markets.
