Setting: Fabric Take-down

The purpose of the fabric take-down is to continuously take-down the knitwear the stitch. This way, the stitch loops are hold reliably in the needle hook during the stitch formation process or transfer. The fabric gets stability during the knitting process.

The fabric take-down depends on:

Open the brake of the active take-down system (main take-down or comb take-down) for a maximum of 2.5 seconds, take-down roller or comb take-down turn back by a maximum number of the indicated degrees (depending on the fabric tension and the fabric take-down value).

  • CMS 5xx, 7xx, 8xx, CMS ADF: 9-60 degrees
  • CMS 9xx: 9-120 degrees

If either of both the conditions is fulfilled, then the brake is closed again.
The specified fabric take-down value becomes active again at the reversion.

No turning back: 0
Minimum value: 9
Maximum value:  120

WMC

Set the speed control of the active take-down system (main take-down or comb take-down) to the value n (0-32). If the take-down system turns too quickly, the machine is stopped.

0= no stop motion, 1= insensitive, 32= very sensitive

Minimum value: 0
Maximum value: 32

WM+C

Monitoring of main take-down.
If the take-down has not been used after n (0-100) knitting rows, the machine will stop. (0 = no supervision)

Minimum value: 0

WMK+C

Monitoring of comb.
If the comb has not moved after n (0-100) knitting rows, the machine will stop. (0 = no supervision)
