Abstract

N Gokarneshan, M Gopalakrishnan, S Rajesh kumar and G Shreelalitha

The article reviews some significant developments in jacquard technology during the recent years. One area has focused on energy consumption of the griffes during their service life. The griffes in a jacquard loom having reciprocating motion and high speed gets affected during weaving process. In the case of saree weaving a software tool – set of algorithms/procedures has been developed. It would prove useful for electronic jacquards in saree weaving. In another area of work, the influence of warp tension on fabric color for many types of weave structures has been demonstrated, and a relation between them has been evolved. In yet another interesting development, a design technique known as compound half backed weave has been developed on the basis of layered-combination design mode and compound structure, to obtain a new weave structure and surface effect of fabric.
