Working of Knitting Machine Parts - Bharat Machinery Works
With the help of
knitting machine, the hosiery garments & fabrics produced. It is similar to
the traditional method of knitting in which loops of yarn are formed and
connected them with various types of knits.
Different types of needles used to make garments of
different design & purpose. These machines can classify into further
categories by depending upon the number of needles existing per unit length of
the needle cylinder. For determining the needle cylinder length, one of the extensive
systems named as English Inch used, i.e. 1 inch = 25.4 mm. In USSR, the range
of gauge in knitting machines varies from 3 to 36. If the gauge is higher, then
the produced fabric is more delicate. Let us suppose if we have to knit super
delicate stockings, then we use 34-gauge machines; Gauge signifies the spacing
between the needles in the cylinder which in this case is 0.75 mm.
Different parts of a knitting machine:
The main
components of a knitting machine consist of a looper, the take-up motion and the
yarn feed motion.
The looper
comprises of a needle cylinder with the needles, a presser, sinkers, yarn
guides and some extra components. Within the gap of needles, usually, one
sinker is present. With the help of complex shape blades, sinker folds the yarn
to form loops. If static needles can be used, then the sinker along with the
shaft of needles move the yarn. On the other hand, if needles are not
stationary, then sinker can be used to hold the Yarn. Then the attached presser
in the shape of a plate or disk is pressed on the needle hook is used to
prevent the loops from failing into the hook.
Working of knitting Machine:
The first step is to lay down the yarn on the
needles, then the yarn feed motion along with the yarn guides, take-up motions,
brakes and other components creates a persistent tension. For each row of the
loop, the length of the yarn can be measured. The knitting machines are of two
types: weft knitting machine or warp knitting machine. If we are using the weft
machines, then the yarn feed in the form of individual strands, but in warp
machines, the groups of yarn feed onto the needles. The take-up motion also
draws the final product along with maintaining a persistent tension.
The weight of the take-up motion can create a
tension which helps in drawing off the finished material. Rollers can also use
to draw the knitted fabric. The mechanisms help in controlling the feed
consistency, the tension between the yarns along with the proper functioning of
the needles automate the process of knitting. This automating knitting procedure also helps to fix
any occurring errors during the process of knitting.
In contemporary machines, various unique mechanisms
are available which helps in transferring the loops along with altering the
width of the cloth quickly, form separate rows of loops also create complex or
three-dimensional shapes in fabrics as well as can change the density of the
knit. Different types of electronic control devices are available which used to
select or introduce the needles in knitting patterns, and open-work weaves.
In our company, we commonly use circular knitting
machines or Flat knitting machines for knitting fabrics because these machines
contain miniature carding devices in every loop-forming system. These small
carding devices are capable of knitting the tufts of long fibres in the form of
loops to form a nap. In warp-type knitting machines, the knitting machines
productivity ranges to 3.74 million loops per min, whereas in circular hosiery
knitting machines it is 1.44 million loops per min.
By increasing the number of loop-forming systems and
the size of gauges, we can do further advancements in the knitting machines and
automate the whole process of knitting. Apart from Circular and Flat knitting machines, we
also have Hose Knitting Machine, Single jersey, Interlock and RIB knitting machine.
