2.3 Carriage assembly
2.3.1 Drive, speed and operating path
Carriage assembly
The carriage assembly is driven by the drive motor via a toothed belt. The
speed is infinitely programmable, and can therefore be adapted to the yarn
material, pattern and working step.
Limit switches control the path of the carriage assembly. If the carriage
assembly moves too far outward, the limit switch stops the knitting machine.
The operating path of the carriage is controlled by the knitting program and
may differ for each knitting or transfer row The carriage assembly reverses
when the last working needle leaves the system.
