Weaving Machine Operator (6 – Months Course) 1

Developed by Curriculum Section, Academics Department TEVTA.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES Textile machine operators in the field of weaving use their specialist skills to

manufacture fabrics in a wide variety of designs, while at the same time

observing work safety requirements and taking into account quality and

economic efficiency considerations. They are responsible for operating,

monitoring and maintaining weaving plant and machinery for the manufacture

of various fabrics, working in a self-reliant manner, in the correct fashion and

according to a time schedule. Modern weaving technologies and systems

allow the manufacture of woven goods in a wide variety of patterns for use in

a wide variety of applications.

This course is designed for the trainees who want to join weaving mills as a

Weaving Machine Operator. In this course the trainees will get the operating

skills and knowledge of weaving machines (Looms). The purpose of this

course is to enhance the skill level for weaving machines operator confirming

to the highest quality modern machines with aim to produce skilled labor force

for weaving mills. The trainees will be given adequate training on air jet loom.

The trainees such produced would be quite capable of carrying out their tasks

under supervision along with ethical values.

machines with different materials.

2. Understand the quality requirements of the mills.

3. Observe woven cloth to detect weaving defects.

4. Examine looms to determine causes of loom stoppage, such as warp

filling, harness breaks, or mechanical defects.

5. Understand Operating machines for test runs to verify adjustments and

to obtain product samples.

6. Study guides, loom patterns, samples, charts, and/or specification

sheets, or confer with supervisors or engineering staff to determine

setup requirements.

7. Recognize and identify the Safety Instructions and procedures and
