Estimation of safe fabric length during automatic vertical feeding of fabrics into work stations

Estimation of safe fabric length during automatic vertical feeding of fabrics into work stations Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide an estimation of safe fabric length during automatic vertical feeding of fabrics into work stations. Design/methodology/approach – The analysis is based on the application of the energy method and taking advantage of dimensionless groups. Findings – Limits of the safe maximum force and length are obtained for a fabric of known properties and given friction coefficient between the fabric and supporting bed. Originality/value – The paper demonstrates how to calculate the buckling force of a horizontally positioned fabric where the weight cannot be neglected and how to calculate the maximum length of such a fabric which can be pushed into a work station without buckling. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png International Journal of Clothing Science and Technology Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide an estimation of safe fabric length during automatic vertical feeding of fabrics into work stations.

Originality/value – The paper demonstrates how to calculate the buckling force of a horizontally positioned fabric where the weight cannot be neglected and how to calculate the maximum length of such a fabric which can be pushed into a work station without buckling.
