Yarn Carriers with CMS ADF Machines and their way of working

Sequence of the knitting technique with intarsia with autarkic yarn carriers:

Consecutively, uniformly knitting ADF yarn carriers:

The result is a nice, uniform binding at the color field edge = high quality.
With a high quantity of colors per knitting row this sequence leads to a high production time.

How a yarn carrier works with CMS ADF machines:

These autarkic yarn carriers doe not perform any swiveling movement.

	A1	Overrun path: 0.4 inch (6 nic) Yarn carrier moves in upper position out of its color field by the overrun path.
	A2	Yarn carrier moves in lower position.
	A3	Yarn carrier moves to the beginning of its color field.
	B	The yarn carrier works in its color field.
	C1	Overrun path: 0.4 inch (6 nic) Yarn carrier moves further at the end of the color field by the overrun path.
	C2	Yarn carrier in lower position moves back to its color field.
	C3	Yarn carrier moves to upper position.

Mechanical-induced distances:

	The width of the ADF yarn carrier from the yarn carrier tip to the short side is 1 inch.
	Two yarn carriers on the same track: The minimum distance is 2 inches.
