Laboratories and special equipmentThe Department has two laboratories available:Textile Structure Laboratory4. Research activitiesThe research activity <strong>of</strong> the Department is performed underthe projects <strong>of</strong> the EU, Ministry <strong>of</strong> Education Youth and Sports,Ministry <strong>of</strong> Industry and Trade and economic activities mainlyin cooperation with Clutex, Sintex a.s. Česká Třebová, Stap a.s.Vilémov u Šluknova, VÚB a.s. Ústí nad Orlicí, VÚTS a.s. Liberec,MemBrain s.r.o. Stráž pod Ralskem. The main research activities<strong>of</strong> the Department are focused on:• modeling spinning, weaving and knitting processes andsystems and their optimization• modeling <strong>of</strong> the structure and properties <strong>of</strong> yarns, wovenand knitted surface textiles• modeling <strong>of</strong> the properties <strong>of</strong> PET and POP mon<strong>of</strong>ilaments,multifilaments and planar textiles made <strong>of</strong> these• development <strong>of</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware for predicting and optimizing theproperties <strong>of</strong> yarns and fibers including visualization• development <strong>of</strong> textiles with enhanced resistance tomechanical damage• development <strong>of</strong> active safety textiles with fiber-opticsThe laboratory is equipped with the image analysis forexamining the geometric parameters <strong>of</strong> textile structures.There were internal standards generated including s<strong>of</strong>tware fordetermining the geometric properties <strong>of</strong> fibers, for measuringthe packing density, diameter and hairiness <strong>of</strong> single and plyyarns, for measuring tips on rotor yarns, inclination <strong>of</strong> surfacefibers, coverage <strong>of</strong> yarn core, for measuring the mixing quality(mixing index, testing the rate <strong>of</strong> aggregation <strong>of</strong> the sequences<strong>of</strong> fiber components), geometry <strong>of</strong> fabric binding pointsincluding yarn deformation in the binding point and textileporosity. The laboratory is equipped with devices for measuringthe diameter, hairiness, material unevenness, yarn abrasion(Uster Tester 4-SX, QQM 3, Zweigle G 552, G 555, G 567), formeasuring filaments shrinkage (TST 2 Lenzing), measuring themechanical properties <strong>of</strong> textiles, such as tension, compression,shear (Instron 4411, Testometric M350-5CT), ball penetration,cut resistance (Testometric M350-10CT), air burst strength(EC 37), measuring the acoustic dynamic module <strong>of</strong> fibers andplanar textiles (DMT PPM5R Lawson Hemphill). The dynamicand mechanical properties are tested using the multi-functionaldevice (CTT Lawson Hemphill), where besides measuringthe material unevenness, number <strong>of</strong> thin places, thick places,neps, yarn diameter and hairiness, we can also measure thecross section pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> textured yarn, strength, elongation andshrinkage in dynamic mode, friction properties, abrasion andshare <strong>of</strong> short fibers in abrasion. There is also a prototype <strong>of</strong> theyarn compression measuring device available.8
Semi production laboratoryThe Semi production laboratory is focused on the assurance<strong>of</strong> production <strong>of</strong> small parts <strong>of</strong> conventional and rotoryarns, ribbons, spliced cords, woven and knitted textiles.The machines are modified as required for the production<strong>of</strong> textiles from special fiber. For spinning, it has a mini-lineavailable for production <strong>of</strong> conventional yarns that comprisesthe laboratory carding, drawing and ring spinning machine.The laboratory also has a winding machine and plying machine.It also has the rotor spinning machine available. The wovenfabrics are produced using the pattern mini-line from singlethread slashing and preparation <strong>of</strong> the warp single thread tothe pattern weaving loom. There is also the Jacquard, needleand ribbon loom. The knitting lab is equipped with weft- andwarp-knitting machines. The fabric weave is prepared for theJacquard loom using the Design Scope pattern s<strong>of</strong>tware. Theknitwork pattern s<strong>of</strong>tware can also be used.6. Grants and projectsThe Department employees take part in solving the followingselected projects:• Development <strong>of</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware for predicting woven propertiesincluding the setup <strong>of</strong> weaving loom parameters,ModSimTex Project 7 RP EU NMP2-SL-2008-214181 (2008-2011).
