Perform the setting of a warper drum

Objectives : At the end of this exercise you shall be able to
• set up and operate a warper drum correctly according to given specifications such as yarn count, number
of ends, warp length, reed width, and other parameters.

Requirements
Tools/Equipment’s/Instruments

• Warping machine with drum • Calculator
• Yarn cones/bobbins of specified count • Tensioning device
• Creel stand • Job sheet or work order
• Measuring tape

PROCEDURE
