Sensor Technology in Textile | Talks of Capacitive & Optical Sensor

In this modern technology era Sensor is widely used in all of the Textile Industry, at all of the departments. So, we must have know about the Sensor technology and it’s operating and working procedure to become a Good Textile Engineer.

It is seen in Textile Industry so far that, the Sensor Problems and Sensor Technology related issues are being observed and fixed by the Computer Engineers. But, as the Textile Engineers knows everything about Textile except Sensor, it is the time to learn about the Sensor Technology to have an all-round performance in Textile Engineering life.
So, I  would like to recommend to the Textile Engineering Education Authority to include the Sensor Technology in their Text Books; so that that the students will be more benefited and updated with the latest technology are being used in new Textile Industries.

In Textile, two types of Sensor are used. One is Capacitive Sensor; another is “Optical Sensor”. Again, Optical Sensor is divided into two types- 1. One Dimensional Optical Sensor, 2. Two Dimensional Optical Sensor.

Concept of Capacitive Sensor:

Capacitive Sensor is used for determination of  mass variation. In textile spinning industry, the Capacitive sensor is widely used in order to determine the production parameters. By taking the calculation result from the capacitive sensor, some of the spinning machines are to be set up.

Concept of Optical Sensor:

Optical sensor is used for determination of diameter variation. It has advantages with regard to visual appearance of the yarn. One dimensional sensor comes to very close to observation of human eye; whereas, two dimensional Optical sensor offers advantages for the determination of the roundness and the density of the Yarn.
No more today. later I will describe more about Sensor Technology in Textile.
