Operating Modes and their Usage

There are four operating modes available in the Setup2 Editor.

  • Production without YLC
  • Working with mm
  • Working with original fabric
  • as specified by Sintral

Operating Mode

Explanation

Production without YLC

The knitting machine works without measuring and controlling.

Working with mm

When to use:

  • Standard fabrics having a width of ≥ 7 inches.
  • Fabrics produced in sequences
  • Continuous fabrics

Procedure:

The target values are calculated for each knitting row. The basis for this is the calculated yarn length.

The used yarn length is measured and compared to the calculated yarn length (calculated based on machine gauge, stitch length and needle number).

In case of deviations that occur within the allowed range, the stitch length is corrected (see Calcul des valeurs de correction ).

Working with original fabric

When to use:

  • Fabrics with knitting modes, that have an irregular yarn consumption and therefore prevent a regulation. Examples for this are patterns with changing binding and complex knitting modes like Aran and cable stitch.
  • Narrow fabrics with a width of ≥ 5 inches, e.g. the sleeve with knit and wear articles.
  • Elements knitted-on with a width of ≥ 5 inches, e.g. trimmings.
  • Fabrics produced in sequences.

Procedure:

The target values are not calculated, but measured. The basis for this is the measured yarn length.

The used yarn length is measured and compared to the specifications of the Master Piece.

In case of deviations that occur within the allowed range, the stitch length is corrected (see Calcul des valeurs de correction ).

as specified by Sintral

When to use:

Working with knitting programs that were generated with an M1plus version V5.8 or older.

This is the default setting in the Setup2 Editor. Therefore, you can load an older knitting program into the machine and start the production immediately without selecting a operating mode in the Setup2 Editor.
: The knitting machine knows the older commands (YLC1, YLC7…).
