Artificial neural networks with their ability of learning from data have been successfully applied in the textile industry. The leveling action point is one of the important auto-leveling parameters of the drawing frame and strongly influences the quality of the manufactured yarn. This paper reports a method of predicting the leveling action point using artificial neural networks. Various leveling action point affecting variables were selected as inputs for training the artificial neural networks with the aim to optimize the auto-leveling by limiting the leveling action point search range. The Levenberg—Marquardt algorithm is incorporated into the back-propagation to accelerate the training and Bayesian regularization is applied to improve the generalization of the networks. The results obtained are quite promising.

Key Words: artificial neural networks • auto-leveling • draw frame • leveling action point
