Abstract

In the weaving process, weft insertion (picking motion) is a factor of the formation of the fabric. Weft insertion is done by various types of media from shuttle, gripper, water jet, air jet, and the projectile. The use of media types weft insertion affects the speed of fabric production. Air jet is the most popular media in terms of weft insertion, because it has high speed and simple machine construction. In this research it can be shown the modeling of yarn movement during weft insertion on the Air Jet Loom machine from main nozzle until the end of fabric by physics.
