" Types of winding (twisting). Production procedure of carder yarns and combed yarns, twisting and classification of twisting machines, types of twisting yarns, systems of the ring twisting, double-twist twisting and gradual twisting, device for the production of spectacular yarns. " Material preparation for weaving and preparation machines, winding by precise and accidental winding, factors influencing the winding quality. Importance of dry taping, twisting and steaming. Methods of weaving spools winding. Spinning, types and methods of spinning, warp modifications, warping creel for spinning, accessory devices, warp guidance, knotting. " Weaving technologies, basic concepts for fabrics and fabric creation, block scheme of weaving machine and functions of its mechanisms. Classification of the weaving machines according to the systems of weft insertion, comparison of capacity and quality parameters of different systems of weaving machines. " Drives of the weaving machines, types of sheds of the weaving machines, creation of basic types of weaving weaves, weave repeating, peg plan, methods of fabric edge strengthening. " Shed mechanisms, classification, dobbies, influence of single and double lift up and down motion dobbies to the capacity of the weaving machines, jacquard machines and technological possibilities of weaving on the dobby and jacquard machines. Function scheme of driving systems of the weaving machines and technological advantages and disadvantages of these systems Seminar content: Seminar content is selected in such way that it fills in and extend the lectured subject matters. It contains mainly the individual solutions of practical exercises, mainly numeric ones. The program contains also one broader theme that will be processed by the students as seminar work.
