Adjust stitch cams:

Service job

Basic settings of the CMS will be overwritten!

To be done by experienced service technicians only.

Save all machine data (dongle) on the USB-Memory-Stick

  • Device for the yarn length control is mounted on the CMS.
  • Suitable yarns according to the yarn list are at hand.
  • The operating system with Setup2 is installed.
  1. Define the yarn carrier type by RS18 in the Setup2 file.
  • I 8= Adjustment Yarn  (RS18=8)
  • I 7= Adjustment Yarn  (RS18=7)
  • I 6= Adjustment Yarn  (RS18=6)
  • I 5= Adjustment Yarn  (RS18=5)
  • I 4= Adjustment Yarn  (RS18=4)
  • I 3= Adjustment Yarn  (RS18=3)
  • I 2= Adjustment Yarn  (RS18=2)
  • I 1= Adjustment Yarn  (RS18=1)
  1. Thread up the yarn carriers in use.
  1. Lead the thread over the allocated measuring wheel.
  1. Adjust the yarn tension to 8 cN at the minimum.
  1. Select the adjusting program (ylc2_npk-Adjustment.zip) according to the machine type.
  1. Load the adjustment program.
  1. Watch-out the fabric width with machines without comb.
    Set counters if necessary in order to get the matching fabric width for adjusting.
  1. Set the cycle counter in Setup2 if necessary:
  • RS1 controls the length before the measuring starts
    (Example: if you want to knit into the main take-down)
    DefaultRS1=5
  • RS16 controls the fabric width for adjusting.
    Default: RS16=0 equals half the width of the needle bed.
    RS16=1 equals 2/3 of the width of the needle bed
    RS16=2 equals the hole width of the needle bed.
  • RS19 controls the system functions
    • RS19=0 Stitch formation only
    • RS19=1 Stitch formation and split curve
  • RS2=999 controls the adjusting and must not be changed.
    (therefore not part of Setup2)
  1. Start the program.
  1. The machine stops and prompt appears:
    \!! NPK DATA WILL BE DELETED !! -- ?? COPY DONGLE ??\
  1. Go ahead if you have ensured, that the formerNPK data of the machine (Dongle/MC-Data) are saved or written down.
