Failure to Ask Others for Assistance

I worked for a large company that manufactured labels that were printed on narrow fabric with the primary plant in the middle of nowhere in the Southeastern United States. This plant produced printed labels that were attached to underwear and outerwear to identify the producer of the garment in addition to providing washing instructions for the garment. The company also had a facility in New England that produced labels using a Jacquard loom. The Jacquard loom was invented by Joseph Marie Jacquard who gave his first demonstration in 1801 and received a patent in 1804, and was recognized as a revolution in human–machine interaction due to its use of the binary code, either there was a punched hole or not in a punch card in a column. This ability to interchange punch cards was the inspiration for the design of the early computer.
Woven Fabrics
Published in Tom Cassidy, Parikshit Goswami, Textile and Clothing Design Technology, 2017
The construction of a traditional woven textile is defined by warp and weft yarns that interlock at right angles to one another in the 0/90° direction to the fabric plane, as identified in Figure 7.1. In its simplest form a woven textile can be constructed on a tapestry frame and/or inkle loom. Tablet weaving and handlooms permit greater scope of pattern formations within the weaving process. A jacquard loom is the weaving technology to use when wishing to produce greater complexity in the interlocking of warp and weft directional yarns, in terms of: weave architecture combinations; single layer fabrics; multilayer multilevel wovens (shapes and solid woven fabrications). Each woven textile process has one thing in common, a shed. The shed is the operation by which the warp yarns are separated to then allow a weft yarn to be inserted—both the manual shedding operations (i.e., tablet weaving, handlooms) to the semi- and fully automated CAD power looms (jacquard and dobby) require a lifting plan. The sequential pattern within the lifting plan contains a minimum of two independent weft insertions to complete the desired weave architecture/pattern within the concluding woven textile. The sequential lifting of the weave architecture in manual weaving is aided by varying nonmechanical processes, such as: Tablet weaving: Requires the turning of card(s) by hand, with each card housing a number of warp yarns to create a shed.Handlooms (table and floor): Typically contains levers or treadles requiring lifting or pushing, respectively down to form a shed.
Fashion and tapestry – Dummy-loom as a method of shaping clothes
Published in Gianni Montagna, Cristina Carvalho, Textiles, Identity and Innovation: In Touch, 2020
In the weaving classification there are three basic principles of filling yarns interlacing: taffeta, twill, and satin. However, we can produce more complex drawings by varying those linkages or using different mechanisms. For instance, the Jacquard texture is another type of textile interlacing, produced in a different kind of loom that corresponds to a diverse weaving process. The jacquard loom, invented by Joseph Jacquard, is an automatic loom that suits the production of tapestries with complex drawings, the design of which is done with the help of punched metallic boards.
Development of three-dimensional effects and stretch for polymeric optical fiber (POF) textiles with double weave structure containing spandex
Published in The Journal of The Textile Institute, 2021
In this study, the POF fabric samples were produced by directly integrating POFs in the weave structure via Jacquard weaving. Jacquard weaving is chosen in this study for its capability of producing more intricated designs. Jacquard loom used in the study is STAUBLI Jacquard Head JC6, Dornier Weaving Loom PTV 8/J with 8192 hooks. The yarn parameters are listed in Table 1. The warp yarns were white polyester, with the yarn weight of 100 denier. The weft contained two systems which were POFs and spandex. POFs were implemented as the first weft system and 0.25 mm POFs were used in this study for the better flexibility. Spandex yarns were implemented as the second weft yarns. Spandex with the elastic property was used to provide the fabric stretch. Thirty-two denier spandex was chosen to be compatible with the diameter of POFs. The warp density was 47 ends/cm and the weft density was 15 picks/cm. The weft ratio of POFs and spandex was 1 POF:1 spandex.

During the experimental stage, all three samples were woven on a Jacquard loom (Dornier Weaving Loom PTV 8/J with the STAUBLI Jacquard Head JC6). The warp was polyester yarn. Four filling materials are used including POF (MITSUBISHI® optical fibres 0.25 mm in diameter), spandex, silver conductive yarn and light-grey polyester. The warp density was set as 47 ends/cm and the filling density was set as 18 picks/cm. The weave construction was designed with textile design software ArahWeave®. The diamond areas are designed as unstitched double-layer structure while the background area and diamond outlines are designed with stitched double-layer structure. Continuous floats of conductive yarns are woven behind the back layer of the background area to connect with micro control system.
Impact of different conductive path design and fabrication on temperature variation of thermal stainless steel woven fabric
Published in The Journal of The Textile Institute, 2021
In fabrication process, a professional weaving loom is adopted which is Staubli jacquard loom and Dornier weaving loom (SD loom). Unlike making the extra warp beam for SSY warp yarn when weaving by sampling loom, it is impossible and unreasonable to produce a new SSY warp beam for SD loom just for sample making. Therefore, the warp yarn replacement becomes the first step. Fabrication process was displayed in Figure 2(a,b). 1 cm and 2 cm polyester warp yarns were replaced by the SSY manually as shown in Figure 2(c). The specific ends were decided by warp density. The warp density of the fabric is 47 ends/cm while the weft density is 30 picks/cm.
