TECHNICAL AREA
The invention provides an integrated process for unrolling the rolled fabric and scanning the fabric defects in the defect detection sensor, scanning the fabric defects in the color control sensor and determining the color differences of the edge-middle-edge sections in the width of the fabric and the head-middle-end sections in the length of the fabric, or can perform these operations separately, It is about an automatic fabric inspection machine that can rewind the opened fabric back into rolls.
PRIOR ART
Defects detected in the fabric in garment processes are very important in terms of production efficiency. The control of raw material fabrics to be stored or fabrics to be produced in the cutting room is carried out by visual inspection, which is the classical method, or by CCD cameras that produce more technological solutions.
The classical method of inspecting fabric in garment production processes involves the machine operator's visual inspection of the fabric as it is passed through an illuminated area. More advanced methods use CCD and CMOS technology.
Since defect detection in the classical method is operator dependent, it is not possible to be repeatable and to identify defects completely. Fatigue and lack of attention on the part of the operator are some of the reasons. The line of passage of the fabric for inspection may be long enough to damage the fabric. In addition, this method requires experienced and costly labor and is not sufficient to solve the problem completely.
In fabric inspection systems using CCD and CMOS camera technologies, defects are detected by processing images taken from the fabric. This method requires a closed area illuminated with lights where the fabric is controlled. In addition, external factors such as noise and vibration can cause these systems to give inaccurate results.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In order to detect fabric defects in the automatic fabric inspection machine, at least one defect detection sensor(2) based on line scanning technology is used, where the fabric is illuminated from below. At least one color control sensor(3) based on spectrophotometer is used to determine the color differences in the edge-middle- edge of the fabric width and head-middle-end sections of the fabric length.
The machine chassis is mounted on wheels(1 ) that can be fixed when desired, providing flexibility and ease of use in the field of use, which can be as man- powered or motor-driven capable of relocating. There is at least one of more than one driven rotating cylinder(9) or idler rotating cylinder(10) on the machine that unwinds the fabric(8) from the roll, carries it to the sensors and rewinds the fabric back into the roll. In order to facilitate the passage of the product to be inspected, the frame carrying the defect detection sensor(2) and color control sensors(3) is moved by a movement mechanism consisting of at least one of pneumatic, hydraulic or electric actuator and piston(6). The passage of the product into the machine cylinders is carried out using at least one of the manual or automatic guiding mechanisms.
When the inspection starts, the fabric flow continues automatically and the inspected product rubs passes the defect detection sensor(2) by friction. Therefore, protection is provided from external factors such as vibration and noise that may cause incorrect data acquisition. Air is blown to the fabric with air combs(5) to prevent any foreign matter between the defect detection sensor(2) and color control sensors(3) and the fabric. In order to prevent static electrification problems that may occur during fabric passage, one or more antistatic brushes or insulators(7) formed by at least one of the bars are positioned between the rollers.
There is at least one labeling device(4), positioned in plain view of the machine operator to indicate the location of the defect when it is detected, and capable of printing labels at the level of the defect or at the location of the defect without stopping the fabric control flow.
After the control process is completed, the fabric is rolled again.
