What does a fabric inspection machine look like? And how should it be maintained?

　　The fabric inspection machine is a specialized set of equipment used in the apparel industry to perform large-format, double-width, and single-width inspections of fabrics such as cotton, wool, linen, silk, and synthetic fibers before production begins.

　　The basic structure of a fabric inspection machine includes the following components:

　　1) Fabric unwinding, drawing, and rewinding device;

　　2) Inspection stations, light sources, and lighting;

　　3) Code recording device;

　　4) Fabric finishing equipment;

　　5) Starting, reversing, and braking mechanisms.

How to operate a fabric inspection machine: Provide the hardware setup for fabric inspection, allowing seamless, continuous unfolding of the material while ensuring ample lighting. Operators can visually identify surface defects and color variations by observing with their eyes. The machine automatically records these findings and performs rolling and sorting operations afterward. High-quality fabric inspection machines are equipped with advanced electronic defect detection systems, enabling computer-aided statistical analysis to streamline the inspection process—and even generate printed reports for easy reference.

To maintain the inspection machine, manufacturers should first regularly inspect all transmission gears and sprockets in the equipment’s drive system, ensuring they are promptly lubricated to keep the machine running smoothly. Additionally, during routine checks, if any components show significant wear, they must be removed and replaced without delay.

　　Second, we need to remove dust, fabric scraps, and other debris. Also, make sure to regularly inspect the machine’s motor and transmission components. During daily operation, frequently clean the fluorescent lamp tubes and the illuminated fabric-inspection glass panel of the machine to eliminate dust and fabric particles—this ensures that the fabric inspector maintains optimal lighting conditions at all times.

　　1. This series of fabric inspection machines is suitable for inspecting finished fabrics such as garments, knitted fabrics, silk fabrics, towel cloths, and cotton fabrics used in clothing, knitting, and weaving mills.

　　2. Inspect the connected fabric expansion rollers to prevent hemming from curling and wrinkling.

　　3. The detection board is large and made from milky-white acrylic, ensuring even light distribution.

　　4. The electronic display shows measurements in yards with an accuracy of 0.1 yard, ensuring precise length readings.

　　5. Starts smoothly, with reversible operation and stepless speed control.

　　6. Equipped with casters for easy mobility.

　　Additionally, the fabric inspection machine is equipped with an edge-aligning device, ensuring that the rolled fabric has neat and consistent edges.

　　Additionally, the rear section is equipped with an expander, a fabric-feeding mechanism, and a metered fabric-storage device, enabling precise control of fabric tension.

The fabric inspection machine is divided into three parts for easy disassembly and portability. It’s equipped with two sets of opposing photoelectric sensors, making it suitable for inspecting transparent fabrics, mesh fabrics, and opaque materials. The inspection modes include three options: branch-to-branch, branch-to-horse, and horse-to-branch.

　　The fabric inspection machine is relatively large, so many people aren’t very familiar with how to operate it. But actually, it’s quite simple. Just refer to the operator’s instructions provided by the fabric inspector to learn the process. First, check the machine’s surface for any debris and ensure all components are securely connected. Next, turn on the power, let the machine run idly a few times, and then verify that it’s functioning properly. If everything seems fine, you can start feeding in the fabric roll. The machine will continue operating smoothly—until it’s manually stopped.
