Summary
A profession that tensions warp threads used in the textile weaving process with appropriate tension and arrangement using a warping machine to prepare for the loom.
Description
In the textile manufacturing process, thread tensioning workers use a warping machine to bundle warp yarns (vertical yarns) at fixed intervals and tension, preparing them for attachment to the loom. They adjust tension according to the fabric width and density, repeatedly performing detailed adjustments to prevent yarn breakage and quality defects. They also handle machine adjustments, yarn rewinding, regular inspections, and simple maintenance to manage smooth production line operation.
