In this study, firstly, the tensile strength of the spunlace fabric has been estimated by Artificial Neural
Networks (ANN) method. For this purpose, an artificial neural network model was developed by taking the
tensile strength values of spunlace fabric samples as reference values. In the production of spunlace fabric
with water jet, it is the water jet that provides the mechanical bonding of the fibers and hence affects directly
the breaking and tearing strength values of the fabric. The water jet pressure is controlled by pressure
sensors, and a blockage in the water jet causes the pressure sensors to measure incorrectly and, as a result,
a quality failure. In this respect, secondly aim of this study is to conceive a method to controller the water
jet pressure using a fuzzy-logic controller (FLC) instead of pressure sensor control. During the production,
the DC electric motor revolutions used in the water jet were kept constant by the fuzzy logic controller
according to these reference values. And hence, it was provided that the strength quality of the spunlace
fabric were maintained.
