Adjusting

Adjust engaging width:

    1
    Loosen both screws (1).
    2
    Push insert (2) into the desired position.
    A scale simplifies the adjustment.
    3
    Re-tighten both screws (1).
    4
    Repeat the setting process for the other side.

The entire engaging width consists of the value for the left (Ua) and the right (Ub) hand-side.
Both values may be equal (symmetrical setting) or may differ.

Settings on the knitting machine

The Ua and Ub values are important for parking the yarn carriers correctly:

Path: Setup Editor -> Yarn Carriers menu -> Y:Ua-b / Ncc tab

Explanation

Value range

Y

Corrections of yarn carrier 1A to 8D

 

Ua

Adjust the engaging width (left) when plating with normal yarn carriers.

Minimum value: 11.5 mm
Maximum value: 23 mm
Step width: 0.5 mm

Ub

Adjust the engaging width (right) when plating with normal yarn carriers.

NCC

Only for machines with clamping and cutting bed:
Control of the clamping depth of the respective clamping and cutting needle.

Default setting: n=0
e.g.: Sink the clamping and cutting needle by 5 steps deeper: NCC=5

Minimum value: -10
Maximum value: 10
Step width: 1

Set the clamping depth (NCC)

For a thin or elastic yarn, it may be necessary to withdraw the clamping and cutting needle deeper in order to ensure reliable cutting.
