9 Yarns and stitch tension
Economic production and the influencing factors
The influencing factors
Running reliability
◆ Structure of the pattern (knitting mode, Flexible
Gauge, ...)
◆ Carriage Speed
◆ Stitch length (stitch tension)
◆ Yarn quality (friction coefficient, elasticity, twisting,
moisture, hairiness, bobbin setup, tensile strength)
◆ Yarn gauge, yarn count/twisted yarn
◆ Yarn type (fancy yarn)
◆ Yarn tension, yarn feeding
◆ Fabric take-down
Wear and machine
damages
The unsuitable combination of the influencing
factors may lead to increased wear and to the
damage of machine parts.
Conclusion
Therefore the influencing factors have to be
adjusted.
It's not possible to achieve any carriage speed and
stitch tension with
every yarn and knitting pattern.
Recommendation: Start with a lower carriage
speed
(e.g. 0.7 m/sec) and increase it step by step.
Defective machine parts cau
sed by disregarding
our guidelines, are excluded from warranty.
