To survive in the competitive world there is a requirement of weaving machine which can produce wide variety of fabric with higher production rate to make the product more competitive. This project aims to find out strength & weakness of rapier loom with respect to raw material & fabric structure and to find put its best working range. Staple & filament yarn (cotton, polyester, nylon)with 3 different count group (heavy, medium & fine) has been used as raw material. The variation in the fabric structure was accounted by using plain & twill weave for producing the fabric on the rapier loom & the best working range was analysed.
