Use of Taguchi Method and Grey Relational Analysis to Optimize Multiple Yarn Characteristics in Open-End Rotor Spinning

Abstract

Rotor speed and twist per metres (tpm) are two key parameters in open-end rotor spinning of cotton yarns. High spinning productivity can be obtained by keeping the rotor speed high and twist level as low as possible. However, too high rotor speed may result in yarn imperfections and too low twist level may result in lower tenacity yarns. This study aimed at optimising the multiple yarn characteristics in open-end rotor spinning using the Taguchi method and the grey relational analysis. Cotton yarn samples of 30 tex were produced on rotor spinning machine with different twist levels (i.e. 500, 550, 600 and 700 tpm) at different rotor speeds (i.e. 70,000, 80,000, 90,000 and 100,000 rpm) according to the Taguchi design of experiment. Optimal spinning process parameters were determined using the grey relational grade as the performance index. It was concluded that for the cotton fibres and yarn count used in this study, optimum properties of the yarns could be obtained at 90,000 rpm rotor speed and 700 tpm.

Multi-Response Optimization of Resin Finishing by Using a Taguchi-Based Grey Relational Analysis

“…Rehman et al [ 17 ] also used the Taguchi method for the optimization of enzymatic desizing of cotton fabrics under various chemo-physical conditions. Aslan et al [ 18 ] employed the GRA method to determine the optimal operating parameters of a laboratory scale thickener including feed flow rate, solid percentage, flocculant dosage, and feed well height for the dewatering performance with multiple performance characteristics. Also several resources can be found in literature about multi-response optimization of process parameters by Taguchi-based Grey relational analysis method [ 19 , 20 , 21 ].…”

The use of function-driven shape definition method and GRA–EMM-based Taguchi method to multi-criterion blade preform optimization

“…The traditional Taguchi method offers a systematic approach for the product quality improvement and process optimization. However, the traditional Taguchi method could only optimize single criterion [34]. In order to overcome this defect, gray relational analysis (GRA) is integrated into Taguchi method.…”
