Warp Beam Quality Inspection After Sizing
topic
Sized warp beam quality inspection checks end count accuracy by counting total ends across the beam width, identifies end adhesion problems by separating a sample section of ends, measures beam width deviation from specification, verifies yarn colour arrangement in striped warps by visual inspection, and records beam quality data including production date, yarn lot, size recipe, add-on measurement, and moisture content for production traceability documentation.
Role
Confirms that sized warp beams meet quality specifications before the irrecoverable investment of drawing-in begins, enabling rejection or reworking of defective beams at the sizing stage where correction cost is lowest compared to discovering sizing defects after drawing-in and initial weaving that would require complete warp rethreading or continued production of defective fabric.
