2.7.3 Comb Take-down
Comb Take-down
With the comb take-down fabric pieces are automatically started and press
off after completion.
Comb hooks of comb take-down with sliders (left open, right closed)
When starting a new fabric, a net row is knitted with the elastic thread (comb
thread). The main and auxiliary take-down open and the comb take-down
moves upward. The sliders open the holding-down recesses on the comb
hooks.
The comb thread is automatically laid in the holding-down recesses and the
sliders close the holding-down recesses again.
After two stitch rows, the draw thread is inserted and the knitting machine
begins with the fully fashioned article. The comb take-down adopts the
settings of the main take-down and pulls the fabric off downward.
As soon as the comb hooks are below the main take-down, the take-down
rollers close and the fabric is transferred to the fabric take-down. The sliders
open the holding-down recesses on the comb hooks. The comb take-down
releases the fabric and moves into the home position.
The sliders can open the comb hooks at any point. Therefore, short shape
parts, e. g. collars or trimmings, can only be taken down by the comb take-
down. They are knitted without the main or auxiliary take-down.
