The different engaging widths of the yarn carrier carriages are defined by the Ua/b value   in the MC program. This way the correct parking position of the machine can be calculated.
If a yarn carrier is used with other engaging widths, it is necessary to take account of this in the MC program.
II. Recommended yarn carrier rail allocation:
- Rails 4 + 5
 - Rails 3 + 6
 
An optimum yarn insertion is achieved via allocation of the central yarn carrier rails.
