 Introduction
 Industrial robots
 Applications in textile industry
 Importance of robots
 Impact of robotics
 Advantage & Disadvantage
 Conclusion

India is the second largest producer of cotton yarn.
 4% contribution to GDP
 2nd largest producer of cotton
 14% contribution to industrial production
 17% contribution to export earning
 Direct employment to more than 35 million people
 India is the largest in loom age Concluding handloom in the world and
contributes about 61 percent to the world loom age.
 Strong and Diverse raw material base
 Second largest exporter of yarn
 Globally competitive spinning industries.
 Strong presence in entire textile value chain.

 Robotics is a form of industrial automation.
 These are machine systems that can be
conveniently directed to change their mode and
sequence of operations by means of software
instructions.
 These programmable systems requires high level
of –
 Consistency
 Precision
 Repeatability
 Adaptability

Applications of
robotics in textile

 After passing the receiving station each bale
will be moved by the conveyor to a loading
station where it will be picked by robot and
taken to storage.
 When bale is selected for processing it will be
removed from the ware house by a robot on a”
first-in, first-out basis”.

 Yarn splicing at
autoconer:
Each time there is an
end break or bobbin
change, this join the
yarn ends with a
splice which is
virtually identical to
the yarn.

 The strength and elongation values of spliced
joined are almost always comparable (more
than 90%) with those of the yarn itself.
 Latest automatic splicer arm act like a robot
and it offers better opening to the yarn ends
and a more favourable overlap in splicing zone.

 Auto Cone Changer:
It changes a full cone by empty one when the
predetermined length is wound on it &
resumes the winding at lowest starting time
automatically.

 In garment industry the garment folding and
packing is carrying out by the robots. They take
the garments, fold it and then pack it.
 YASKAWA MOTOMAN

The robots can be used by folding the garment ,like sarees ,lenthy cloths,
Kuka kf 200
It is usually used to fold heavy cloths the while more precise folds can be required

 A new automated sewing system is described,
consisting of two robots handling the fabric on
the table in a similar manner as does a human
operator during sewing.

Objective is
DRYING and IRONING
WORKING
 Shape like a TORSO
 Upon placing the damp shirt
 Interior will automatically inflated with hot air
 Puff up the shirt
 7-8 minute
 Switch on blow cool air

 Multi-arm Robot Control (MRC)
system has been developed.
ZAX9100 or SSA 112 from
TSUDAKOMA Corp
 With the newly designed sewing
automatically according to
programme loom, can easily weave
High quality fabric using the
Weave Navigation System.
In pursuit of the ultimate user
friendly loom, Tsudakoma developed
the new ZAX9100

Cutting the cloths
according to the design
and Cut pieces can be
collecting
ABB ROBOTS replacing end effectors

 A compression test is
conducted by a
circular head attached
to the robot arm the
fabric sample
 is compressed at a
predetermined strain
rate(typically
0.02mm/s) until a
preset pressure limit
is attained.

 With the help of robotics in high working
speed & accuracy is achieved for measuring of
single yarn strength & elongation.

 Labor savings
 Reduced cycle time
 Improved product quality
 Improved safety
 Increase productivity
 Increase in efficiency

 Quick response to market/customer.
 Increased capability to consumer requirements.
 Increased capability to react to market changes.
 A new market segment –customized garments-
to expand

 Increase in the final product quality(lower risk of
production rejects) and quality standardization.
 Intelligent flexible highly re-configurable
manufacturing processes.
 Increase in the process efficiency, speed and
reliability.
 Reduced costs mainly for small batches.
 Integration of human and technical resources.

 Advantages & Disadvantages of
“ROBOTICS”

 Robotics & automation can, in many situations,
increase productivity, safety, efficiency, quality
and consistency of products.
 Can work in very critical situation i.e. in
hazardous environment without the need of life
support.
 It needs no environmental comfort such as lighting
, air conditioning etc.
 Much more accurate than human.
 Work consistently , tirelessly.
 Speed of operation is fast.
 Robot will not ignore the work.

 Robot are more costlier.
 Experts are required to maintain them.
 Threat to employment in population crowed
country like india.

 the application of robotics technology in the
textiles sector has been nominal.
 This is partly because complicated techniques,
such as stitching and finishing, depend on
manual labor and are simply harder to
automate with existing technology.

Robots are being used in textiles today
and substantial developments going on. the
future use of this new technology will develop
as the economics of each area of manufacturing
dictate . No doubt about it , all of us can look
forward to exciting developments in this field.
