The Machine on the Factory Floor
The photo shows the machine as supplied: top-mounted warp beams feeding four guide bars, EL pattern drive, and the electronic control cabinet with touch screen operation on the right-hand side.
Why Four Guide Bars
The four guide bars are engineered to increase pattern complexity and production capability. Compared with a two-bar layout, four guide bars support more intricate fabric structures, better stability and stretch control, a wider range of mesh, lace and technical fabrics, and fewer machine changeovers.
Core Knitting Elements
The knitting section combines an individual needle bar fitted with compound needles, a slider bar with 1/2 inch plate slider units, a sinker bar with compound sinker units, and two additional guide bars with precision guide units.
Warp Beam Support
The warp beam support system is built for reconfiguration across different yarn types and fabric designs. The standard configuration takes 4×812 mm (32 inch) free-standing warp beams, with an optional upgrade path to beam sizes up to 40 inch for wider or more technical production.
Fabric Take-Up System
An electronically controlled take-up system keeps fabric winding tension even. It combines a geared motor drive for stable speed control, four high-precision rollers that distribute tension evenly, and real-time tension monitoring that adjusts automatically based on fabric feedback.
In-Line Quality Control
An integrated Laserstop system works together with a fabric inspection camera to catch defects during production rather than after it, reducing material waste and rework.
Recommended Operating Conditions
The machine is designed to run at a room temperature of 25 degrees C with a tolerance of plus or minus 6 degrees C, and humidity around 65 percent with a tolerance of plus or minus 10 percent. The supporting floor should bear a load of 2000 to 4000 kilograms per square meter.
- TECHNICAL DATA
