Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation arranges the warp yarns used in the pre-weaving stage to the required number and length, and winds them onto a beam using a warping machine or warping stand.
Description
Warping workers prepare warp beams for use in looms by aligning multiple warp yarns in a specific order and with consistent tension during the pre-weaving process of textile manufacturing. They draw yarn from various spools, pass it through yarn guides, adjust tension, and wind it onto the beam. The work is performed using warping machines or manual warping stands, with careful attention to prevent yarn breakage and uneven tension. From a quality control perspective, counting the number of yarns and length, as well as verifying winding tension, is essential.
Future Outlook
Although traditional manual work is decreasing due to advances in automation technology, skilled craftsmanship will continue to be required for advanced quality control and production of special fibers.
