Sectional Warping and Pattern Beaming
topic
Sectional warping machines wind sequential sections of the total warp width from a small creel of 16 to 64 packages onto a drum or swift at 300 to 600 metres per minute, building sections side by side until the full warp width is assembled before beaming all sections simultaneously onto the weaver beam, enabling coloured stripe patterns requiring different yarn colours in defined sequence across the warp width.
Role
Enables production of striped, checked, and multi-colour warp patterns requiring sequential colour arrangement across the warp width that cannot be assembled in a single direct warping pass, with sectional warping being the primary method for shirting, dress fabric, and upholstery warps requiring precise colour stripe sequence repeatability across the full warp width.
