Cycle counter RS17 with constant fabric width (without fully fashion)

With the help of the cycle counter RS17, you control the work of the comb and the related clamping and cutting at the machine.

Working with RS17

RS17

Function

RS17 = 0

Comb and clamping / cutting activated

RS17 = 1

Comb and clamping / cutting disabled

After loading a pattern in the machine memory, the cycle counter is set to RS17=0.

Production with RS17 with fabrics with constant fabric width

Cancellation of the production with RS17

In case patterns need to be restarted based on machine problems (e.g. yarn breakage) or for other reasons it must be ensured that with SP the RS17 is set to RS17=0!

Behavior of the run-throughs (piece number) when using RS17

Quantity of run-throughs (= piece number)

With quantity of run-throughs (1) : =1:

    1
    For the one fabric piece, the comb and the clamping / cutting are active.
    2
    All yarn carriers are taken out of the clamp before the start and knitted-in.
    3
    The fabric is cast-off at the end via a cast-off function in the Sintral.

With quantity of run-throughs (1) : >1:

I. First fabric:

    1
    The first piece works with Comb since RS17=0 is set.
    2
    All yarn carriers are taken out of the clamp before the start and knitted-in.
    3
    The Comb thread is clamped after knitting, since it is only needed for the first piece.
    4
    All other yarn carriers are positioned at the fabric selvedge for the following pieces.
    5
    At the fabric end the RS17 is set to =1 with the Sintral command RS17=1 IF #100=1 RS17=0, as the piece counter is >1.
  1. This way no cast-off is carried out at the fabric end.

II. The following fabric pieces:

    1
    All the following fabrics are processed without comb and clamping / cutting.
    2
    No cast-off is carried out at the end of these fabrics.
    3
    The pieces are connected by knitting-in a draw thread. (Transition)

III. Last fabric piece of the piece counter:

    1
    The last fabric piece is processed without comb and clamping / cutting.
    2
    At the end of the last piece, the piece counter is checked by the Sintral command RS17=1 IF #100=1 RS17=0 and this way is set RS17 = 0.
    3
    With RS17 = 0 the yarn carriers are brought into the clamps and then the fabric piece is cast-off.

Result

The fabric pieces are knitted together separated by the draw thread instead of casting-off after each single piece.
The working procedure is recommended for fabric pieces with reduced height, e.g. collars and other small pieces.
