Abstract

Knifing parameters specially related to lint generation in the knitting zone such as knitting needles, yarn feed angle and yarn feed speed were investigated with a developed test rig, which simulated the hutting area on the knitting machine. Three different types of needle counts and feeding angles affected tension and the amount of lint that was caused by frictional forces between the yarn and the morphological structure of the needle. However, the yarn feed speed did not affect the lint generation. The results implied that a more advanced test rig was necessary for further study. Also, chemical and mechanical modifications of the kilting elements may be necessary to improve the lint problem.

니팅 공정상의 니팅 요소들 중 편침번수, 실의 공급 각도, 실의 공급 속도 등을 변화시키면서 새로 고안된 실험기구를 이용하여 니팅 존에서의 린트 발생현상을 조사하였다. 편침 번수와 실의 공급 각도는 실의 장력과 린트 발생량에 영향을 미쳤으며 이는 실과 편침 형태에 의한 마찰에 기인한 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 실의 공급 속도는 린트 발생에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다. 본 실험을 기초로 하여 보다 더 심도 있는 연구를 위해서 좀더 정교한 실험기구의 개발이 필요하며 니팅요소들의 화학적, 기계적 변경에 의해 니팅공정상의 린트 문제를 개선시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
