Development of the simulation model of the combing process

The simulation computer program that allows defining and optimizing the working setting param­eters of combing machines for cotton processing is developed. The algorithm of the program does not depend on the kind of processed fibers and the type of combing machine. By simulating the following pa­rameters are taken into account: fiber length and lin­ear density, irregularity of these parameters, working settings of combing machine. The program allows to consider the possibility of breakage and slippage of fibers during combing process for compliance with the results of simulation to the actual of fibers length distribution. The adequacy of developed model is proved on the basis of analysis of the experimental results that were obtained in spinning mill.
