Abstract

In this work, it was found that, on air jet weaving machine, the increase in the harnesses crossing angle as well as the shed size enhanced the process of weft insertion. The matter which resulted in a reduction in weft stops. The warp stops were raised when the harnesses crossing angle and the shed size were increased. A harnesses crossing angle of 320o and shed size of 32o, showed a low number of weft stops and warp stops per cmpx during weaving.
