Plating - Plating yarn carrier carriage
Not for CMS 520 C,
CMS 830 C
Two yarn carriers which differ depending on the engaging width (1) on the yarn carrier carriage, are used for plating with normal yarn carriers. The engaging width is adjustable individually (23-46 mm) on this yarn carrier carriage.
Combination possibilities of the yarn carriers:
- 2 plating yarn carrier carriages
- 1 standard yarn carrier, and 1 plating yarn carrier carriage
Example for a plating pattern
|
The light, visible yarn on the fabric front side is the plating yarn (yarn carrier with the smaller engaging width) |
The dark yarn is the basic yarn (yarn carrier with the larger engaging width) |
When an elastic thread is knitted, it is said that it is plated which is technologically not quite correct. The yarn is actually knitted with the plating process, and from the technological point of view, the elastic thread is the basic yarn, and the visible one is the plating yarn.
