Textile electronic testing

A series of laboratory processing and finishing equipments with various technical features are produced in the country.Testing, monitoring and controlling equipments for fibres, yarns and fabrics are produced in the country such as foreign material contamination detector at the blow room, yarn evenness testers, yarn strength testers, online quality monitoring system, yarn clearer, loom eye etc.The industry is continuously developing and upgrading its products through its own efforts or with the assistance of research organisations like IITs, Textile Research Associations etc. The machine designers being in constant touch with the R&D are usually on the look out of new models of the machines.I have dealt in a fairly exhaustive manner about the technological developments made in the ranges of products available within the country, some of which are produced in collaboration with reputed manufacturers from developed countries.It is high time that assistance from the Government of India through establishing a Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme for the Textile Engineering Industry similar to the one instituted for the textile industry is implemented at the earliest, to enable the TEI to invest and upgrade the technology as expeditiously as possible in order to meet the requirements of the textile industry.The future vision of the TEI is to match world’s standard in the areas of hi-tech, automation and latest application of electronic and computer aided systems in the textile industry. A number of manufacturers of textile machinery and parts have acquired ISO 1400 accreditation.
