The entire engaging width consists of the value for the left (Ua) and the right (Ub) side.
Both values may be equal (symmetrical setting) or may differ.
Adjust engaging width:
- 1
- Loosen both screws (3).
- 2
- Push insert (4) into the desired position.
A scale simplifies the adjustment. - 3

Adjust the plating yarn carrier
- Insert the plating yarn carrier into track 4 or 5.
- The two yarn carriers must be positioned exactly in the center of the needle cross.
- Adjust the eyelet of the following thread about 0.5 mm higher.
Recommendation:
Leave one yarn carrier rail unutilized to prevent the yarn carrier tips from displacing each other.
Set the engaging width on the pattern preparation unit and on the knitting machine:
The Ua and Ub values are important for parking the yarn carriers correctly:
- at the fabric selvedge
- on the collecting clamp
