How the Comb Take-down Works
- The knitting program must be generated with Comb start.
- The needle beds, comb hooks and fabric collection chamber must be empty.
- The comb take-down adopts the settings of the main take-down.
- The main take-down and the auxiliary take-down are open.
- The knitting program is started.
- The comb thread (elastic yarn) is inserted in the two rows.
- The comb take-down moves upwards with opened comb hook and grasps the comb thread.
- The comb hooks close and the comb pulls the comb thread under the comb level.
- Now, the fabric can be started on the comb thread.
- The comb take-down pulls the fabric below the main take-down.
- The take-down rollers of the main take-down close and receive the fabric out of the comb.
- The comb hooks open and release the fabric, simultaneously the comb moves to the home position.
- The fabric is completed and gets cast-off at the end.
- A new fabric may start.
