Abstract

A robotic system for testing fabrics under low‐stress conditions has been developed at UMIST. This system is capable of conducting all the mechanical tests on a single piece of fabric, without operator intervention, thus eliminating human‐related errors. Looks at test control strategy and acquisition of force and deformation data, from the viewpoint of process control in garment assembly.
