AI Technical Summary
Existing machinery for producing sequined and beaded yarns is slow due to the serpentine needle path required to cover the entire length of sequin/bead strips and lacks flexibility in yarn structure modification.
A system and process for producing two-phase tubular yarns with paillettes and stripes that allows for rapid and precise processing, enabling variation in yarn processing, using a distributor to dispense threads and decorative elements, a weaving head to combine them, and a traction group to pull the yarn, with a rotor and needles to create the tubular structure.
Enables rapid and precise production of tubular yarns with decorative elements, allowing for varied visual effects and processing options, overcoming the limitations of existing machinery.
