Types of Damaged Needle

Needle is one of key components in knitting machine, having closed relationships with quality of products. During operation, resistance and abrasion damage needle, forming defects on surface of cloth. Damaged needles must be replaced immediately.

Before replacing, recognizing type of damaged needle is the first. Find out damaged according to the reasons causing defects.
Loose pin needle: Larch pin of loose pin needle loosens, causing floricome.
Open needle: Open needle is also called as stiff tongue needle. Oil contamination exists in track. Needle latch cannot be closed
Torque needle: Needle latch or the tip of the tongue is broken.
Punch needle: Needle head lifts up upward slightly.
Excelsior needle: Needle head bend downward.
Broken needle: Needle latch, pin hook, needle bell is broken.
Damaged hook: Hook on needle head is drawn back. Needle latch cannot be closed.

Circular Knitting Machine Maintenance FAQ

For its high price, circular knitting machine needs maintenance during daily operation to ensure its service life and improve quality.

For new circular knitting machine, the following aspects should be examined:
Examine the whole machine based on related technical documents provided by manufacturers. Check the machine whether is completed or not, including creel, yarn storage device, automatic stop arrangement, gear protective cover, polyurethane preparation, testing instruments, electrical appliances, etc.
Check accessories based on contract and attachment paper, including triangle, sinker, needle and other accessories.
Testing Run. Circular knitting machine needs to operate for at least one day after being installed and debugged. Check the style of cloth surface. During operation, check the triangle vibrating or not, yarn breakage and prober being flexible or not.

Working environment
Circular knitting machine may produce many flyings during knitting. For that, good ventilation should be kept in workshop. In winter, workshop has low temperature. Circular knitting machine has resistance. In summer, high temperature has great influence on frequency converter. So the temperature and relative humidity should be controlled between 28-30℃ and 65-75%. 28-30℃ is the best working temperature for circular knitting machine. When relative humidity is low, yarn may harden, causing stitch leakage on surface of fabrics and damaging needle. When relative humidity is high, needle and other accessories may rust.
Daily maintenance
Cotton fluff on creel must be eliminated and keep cleaning on machine no matter in day shift, middle shift or night shift.
Check yarn storage device in case of occlusion caused by cotton during succession.
Check automatic stop arrangement and gear protective cover frequently. Repair or replace it immediately when it is abnormal
Check grail and oil way is unblocked or not during succession or patrol inspection.

Weekly maintenance
Clean speed disk and eliminate the cottons storing up inside disc.
Inspect tension of belt on actuator and transmission.
Inspect operation of tractive and spooler.

Monthly maintenance
Remove triangle and clean the cottons on track or inside needle tray.
Inspect the wind direction of dust extraction fan and clean the dust on fan.
Clean cottons on all of accessories. Inspect the characteristics of accessories including automatic stop arrangement and safety inspection system.

Half a year maintenance
Clean the needle and sinker thoroughly. Inspect needle and sinker. Replace if it is damaged.
Check the oil way. Clean fueling injection device.
Clean and inspect transmitting yarn device.
Clean and inspect electrical system.

The Difference between Circular Weft Knitting Machine and Circular Weaving Machine

Circular weft knitting machine is completed different from circular weaving machine. Circular weft knitting machine is knitting machine. Circular weaving machine belongs to weaving machine. Electronic patterning circular weft knitting machine is patterning with the guidance of computer. Yarns are knitted to cloth broadwise. So it is also called as weft knitting machine. The cloth is knitted into cylinder shape. For that, afterfinish needs slit. The cloth can be single slit or double slit.

Four shuttles circular weaving machine means circular weaving machine containing four shuttles. The motion of picking is different from rectilinear motion in wearing machine. The picking of circular weaving machine moves in a circle, passing through warp and making the warp to cloth. Circular weaving machine has various categories and simple structure. However, the more shuttles is, the more complicated structure is.

Both circular weft knitting machine and circular weaving machine knit all kinds of fabrics except for some special yarns, such as thick twine.

Circular weft knitting machine is mainly used to knit fashion fabrics or decorative fabrics. Circular weaving machine is used to knit industrial fabrics, such as cummerbund and mesh bags.

Double-sided circular knitting is knitting machine with two syringes

the syringe is a ( commonly known as the needle plate ) , a lower cylinder and is perpendicular configuration, that needle and syringe tray 90 degrees vertical configuration. It mainly has the following types .

First, the rib machine :

Rib machine is a special type of double-sided knitting machine . It has a +1 needle tract ( dial a needle tract , a syringe needle tract ) , ( 2 +2 ) pin channel , ( 2 +4 ) needle tract , and ( 4 +4 ) pin tract . Triangle and use needles and yarn permutations mutual arrangement , to weave the production of new knitted fabrics.

Second, ordinary double-sided knitting machine :

Interlock circular knitting machine , also known as common -sided , multi-functional machine, universal knitting machine, which has a +1 needle tract ( dial a needle tract , a syringe needle tract ) , ( 2 +2 ) pin channel , ( 2 +4 ) needle tract , and ( 4 +4 ) pin tract . Introduction of the new circular knitting enterprises , in order to produce more varieties , mostly ( 2 +4 ) circular knitting needle tract -based, it is the use of the triangle and the knitting needles and yarn to each other permutations arranged to weave production of new knitted fabrics.

Three, two-sided jacquard circular knitting machine :

Double jacquard jacquard circular knitting machine with a small and large jacquard two species.

1 small double jacquard circular knitting machine :

Small jacquard circular knitting machine , knitting machinery enterprise called Jacquard , it changes varieties simple, convenient , fast, but low-speed , low yields. It has a jacquard wheel ( commonly known as the flower disc ) , paddle ( pendulum -piece ) , Drum , Blade several, to produce various kinds of single-sided mini jacquard woven fabrics, with the ordinary rib, double-sided and shift rings and other small -sided jacquard .

2 large double jacquard circular knitting machine :

Large double jacquard circular knitting machine , commonly known as computer jacquard knitting machine , because it is the floppy disk into the computer design affectation good input program can be woven production, it is also known as fool knitting machine . The machine uses a computer program to select knitting needles knitting , weaving and tuck no , there are two power -bit ( floating line and a circle , a circle and tuck ) and three power position ( all the way at the same time you can knit , tuck and float ) of the points, used to weave pattern of large-scale production of knitted fabrics , yarn and can change colors, four colors , five colors , six colors and eight colors of each transform sided with large jacquard , jacquard wool circle , jacquard sweater, shifting circle jacquard and other play type .

Computer jacquard circular knitting machine greatly shorten the product design cycle , reduce product costs knitting machine , greatly improve product quality, is to improve economic and social benefits , while improved corporate competitiveness and resilience.

There are also some special knitting machine , circular knitting circle that moves (with rib- shifting circle , one-sided shift circle knitting machine , double shifting circle knitting machine , etc. ) , double-sided terry ( ie, both sides have terry fabric effect ) , for cylinder single machine ( ie, purl knitting machine ) .
