ABSTRACT

Multiphase weaving machines and narrow fabric looms are being categorized here as nonconventional weaving machines, which, just like conventional weaving machines, also produce biaxial woven fabrics. These machines possess, however, some distinctive features that differentiate them from conventional flat biaxial weaving machines described in the foregoing chapters. Some of these machines, such as the circular looms and narrow fabric weaving looms, are encountered in commercial production systems while others are yet to be commercially successful.
