Key Features of Our Carbon Fiber Warp Knitting Machine

Ø Precision Engineering for High-Performance Output

Our carbon fiber warp knitting machine is available in two working widths – 2565mm (101″) and 4496mm (177″) – offering manufacturers the versatility to meet various composite textile demands. With an E7 gauge, it delivers consistent fabric structure and quality. Equipped with advanced knitting elements, including the compound needle bar, knock-over sinker bar, and supporting bar, this machine ensures stable loop formation and superior fiber control. The N-drive pattern system, featuring an integrated gear drive and pattern disc, allows smooth and accurate fabric patterning – essential for producing chopped biaxial carbon fiber materials with minimal error.

Ø Smart Motion Control for Maximum Efficiency

Built with an intelligent motion control system, the machine optimizes every stage of production. A central machine computer seamlessly coordinates the main drive, yarn feeding, and fabric take-up. The intuitive touchscreen interface provides real-time production data and operational status. Additionally, servo-controlled weft insertion and chopper systems offer precise, programmable fiber orientation, enabling consistent fabric architecture. These advanced features significantly reduce material waste, boost output consistency, and simplify operator control – making the machine ideal for high-tech, high-volume composite manufacturing.

Enhanced Yarn Handling Capabilities

The carbon fiber warp knitting machine includes an electronically controlled yarn let-off and fabric take-up system. Driven by geared motors and frequency converters, this ensures even tension and consistency in every knit. Optional electronic yarn stop motion adds another layer of production safety and precision.

Efficient Fabric Collection with Independent Batching Device

In high-volume composite manufacturing, smooth fabric collection is essential to preserve quality and avoid production delays. Our carbon fiber warp knitting machine features an independent batching device designed to streamline this process. It can handle batch rolls up to 914mm (36 inches) in diameter, making it suitable for long production runs without frequent interruptions.

✅ Friction Drive System ensures even tension and smooth rolling, preventing slippage or fabric distortion.

✅ Frequency-Controlled Motors precisely coordinate with stitch courses, maintaining synchronization between knitting and batching.

This system minimizes material waste, maintains roll consistency, and helps preserve the structural integrity of carbon fiber fabrics.

Built for Demanding Industrial Environments

Carbon fiber textiles require highly controlled conditions. Our machine is engineered to perform in strict environments with:

✅ Stable ambient temperature of 25°C (±2°C)

✅ Controlled relative humidity at 65%

✅ Dust and fiber protection to prevent contamination

✅ Vibration-resistant frame for stability during continuous, high-speed operation

With a floor load capacity between 2000–4500 kg/m², depending on model size, the machine offers robust stability, even under full operational loads.

Optimized Power and Energy Efficiency

Efficiency is critical in modern production lines. Our machine is equipped with:

✅ 13 KW power for 2000–4400mm widths

✅ 18 KW power for 4400–6000mm widths

✅ Frequency converter-based speed regulation, including a power-failure safe system and inching motion for added safety and control

This smart energy management ensures lower operational costs and supports sustainable, continuous manufacturing – making our carbon fiber warp knitting machine a smart investment for the future.
