Overview of the YLC modes 1 – 8 (up to OKC operating system V. 2.7)

Designation

Explanation

YLC1

Measuring + regulating, depending on <->

  • A separate correction value is determined for each carriage direction.
  • The stitch cams will be corrected if necessary.

YLC2

Adjusting stitch cams

  • Adjustment program required
    D\Stoll\M1plus\5.2.xxx\Sintral\YLC\cmsxxx.ylc2_npk-adjustment.zip
  • Program-DVD M1plus (V. 5.2 or higher)

YLC3

Measuring in test fabric for mode 1, 7 or 8

Generate test fabric piece before starting the production.

YLC4

Determine measuring + correction values for modes 1, 7 or 8.

  • Determine correction values before the production
  • Apply correction values for the production

YLC5

Measuring in the original fabric for mode 6

  • The YLC5 data for the original fabric (Master Piece) will be determined.
  • No YLC regulation.

YLC6

Regulating with values from mode 5

The YLC5 data is used as target value for all further fabrics.

YLC7

Measuring + regulating, independent of <->

  • A correction value is determined independent from the carriage direction.
  • Difference compared to YLC1 .

YLC8

Measuring + regulating, depending on <-> and S1-Sn

  • similar to YLC1.
  • A separate correction value is determined for each carriage direction and knitting system.
  • The stitch cams will be corrected if necessary.

YLC0

Switch off (neither measure nor control)

  • Machine works without YLC correction values.

YLC0 indicates that a YLC device is logged-on on the machine.

Application areas of the modes

Pattern

If required:
Determining correction values

Generate original fabric (Master Piece)

Production

  • Standard fabrics (width: ≥ 7 inches)
  • Sequence
  • Continuous fabrics

YLC4

Determine correction values before the production

 

YLC1

A separate correction value is determined for each carriage direction.

YLC3

Determining correction values with test fabric piece

YLC8

A separate correction value is determined for each carriage direction and knitting system.

YLC7

A correction value is determined independent from the carriage direction.

  • with irregular yarn consumption (change of the knitting mode, single jersey / double jersey)
  • Narrow fabrics (width: ≥ 5 inches), e.g. with knit and wear articles
  • Sequence (only possible with Setup2)

 

YLC5
Generate original fabric

YLC6

The YLC5 data is used as target value for all further fabrics.
