2.7 Fabric take-down
The fabric take-down consists of three units:
Main take-down
Auxiliary take-down
Comb take-down
Each unit is driven by a separate motor. The motor can individually be
adapted to the knitting situation.
2.7.1 Main take-down
Main take-down
A motor drives the take-down rollers (1). The take-down rollers guide the
finished fabric into the fabric collection chamber. There the fabric is
protected from soiling.
Take-down tension The take-down tension consists of:
Pre-tensioning when the carriage assembly is at the reversing point
Take-down tension during knitting
Both tensions are independently set of each other. The optimum value for
the take-down tension is dependent on the working width, yarn material and
pattern.
The pressure of the take-down rollers (1) is individually adjusted with the
knurled screws (2). The regulation acts on two take-down rollers. A scale
(3) simplifies the adjustment of the take-down roller.
