ABSTRACT:
Methods for optimally processing materials in a machine, such as a weaving machine, employing modular environmental control apparatus to control the conditions of gas flows sourced to or captured from various critical zones in materials processing machines. A plurality of processing performance parameters, part of which may respond differently to environmental conditions in one or more process zones, and thus may be in conflict with each other, are jointly controlled to yield maximum gross profit, to produce highest quality, to operate at highest throughput, etc., (but not necessarily simultaneously). One method includes the step of measuring at least one processing performance parameter, and at least partially controlling the processing performance parameter in accordance with a predetermined optimal control strategy by deliberately applying a gas flow conditioned by at least one controlling parameter, the gas flow being applied by a modular control unit. The disclosed embodiments are directed toward modular process zone environmental control in textile processing machines, both in yarn and fabric manufacturing processes, including weaving machines. However, Modular Process Zone Environmental Control (MPZEC) is applicable to materials processing in general.
