Operating Mode of the Machine and Knitting Program
Operating mode of the machine
- Operating mode using the comb
The knitting program (Sintral, Jacquard, Setup) is structured the way that the comb function is called-up at the start of the program and the cast-off function at the fabric end.
Result:
Each piece is started with the comb and cast-off at the end. This way single pieces are produced.
There must not be a fabric in the needle bed or main take-down.
Comb function at the start of a fabric piece
- Clearing the needle beds (knitting without yarn carrier)
- Inserting the comb thread (special elastic yarn)
- Raising the comb to the top till the comb thread is caught by the comb hooks
- Closing the comb hooks
- Lowering the comb till the comb hooks are no longer between the needles
Casting-off function at the end of a fabric piece
The function is called-up at the end of the fabric to ensure an empty needle bed when starting the next fabric.
With the help of the counter #69 in the cast-off function, an additional standstill time (MS) can be defined in the carriage reversal.
This is necessary in certain cases to ensure the casting-off of the fabric.
