The woven fabric production can be executed in the weaving machine by the using of different mechanisms, which are working simultaneously. Because of the weaving mechanisms, the yarn has under tension and changed between the determined range within the repetitive cycles. The mechanisms and unsteady tension cause to damage on the yarns in the woven fabric production process. The breakable fibers like carbon or glass are more sensitive to degrade in the weaving machine because of their low friction resistance in comparison with the traditional fibers. The several of studies had been carried out to determine the tension of yarns and their damage mechanisms in the weaving process. However, they focused on the damage evolutions of warp yarns in the weaving process. In addition to the warp yarns, the damage evolution of weft yarns was investigated for industrial production in this study. The prevalent weft tensioning systems were evaluated, and the spring yarn tensioning system shown the best performance. Moreover, the yarn- to- machinery part type of friction was determined as the main reason to degrade warp yarns in the industrial production of glass woven fabric.
