Parameter Control
Speed of the take-down
roller
The rotating speed of the take-down rollers is
constantly measured. If the deviation from the upper
or lower limit is too large, the knitting machine stops.
The limit values are infinitely programmable.
Wrapping around loose
threads (1)
Four yarn deflectors (accessory) prevent loose
threads from wrapping around the fabric take-down
rollers.
Wrapping around of fabric
(1)
A winding plate prevents the fabric from wrapping
around the fabric take-down rollers. If the fabric
nevertheless wraps around, the knitting machine
stops.
Throwing off of fabric (1) Four fabric sensors (accessory) scan the fabric
between the needle bed and the fabric take-down.
They can be moved as desired over the entire
working width. If the fabric is ejected, the knitting
machine stops.
