Settings during Production
I. Influences on the quality of plating with SJ:
- Adjustment of the plating yarn carriers (two yarn carriers):
- The two yarn carriers must be positioned exactly in the centre of the needle cross.
- Adjust the eyelet of the following thread about 0.5 mm higher.
- The basic yarn lying above has to cover the plating yarn lying underneath of it optimally.
- Recommendable: Leave one yarn carrier rail unutilized to prevent the yarn carriers from displacing each other.

For adjusting the plating yarn carriers in height, there are additional 'shims' with different heights, which are positioned on the already inserted shim. |
II. Influences on the quality of plating with DJ:
- Setting the plating yarn carrier (double bow):
- Adjust the eyelet of the following thread about 3 to 3.5 mm higher.
-
Yarn tension:
Adjust a higher yarn tension for the following basic yarn as for the leading plating yarn.
: Double the yarn tension nearly. -
Take-down :
Work with a reduced fabric take-down.: Halve the fabric take-down value nearly. -
NP value:
Produce a test fabric with different NP values.: Do not knit too tight.
