2.6.2 Racking device
The front needle bed is screwed to the needle bed support tightly. The rear
needle bed can laterally be racked relative to the front needle bed by the
racking device.
Racking motor
The racking motor (1) is located on the right-hand side below the needle bed
support. It laterally racks the rear needle bed. It is controlled by the knitting
program. The racking movement is infinitely programmable.
Racking course The racking course may be up to 4 inches (approx. 10 cm). Depending on
the machine gauge, this is a maximum racking course over 12 to 72
needles.
