Parts of Circular Knitting Machine and Their Function.

-
Circular Knitting Machine:
Circular knitting machine is widely used through out the knitting industry to produce fabric. This machine can be built in almost any reasonable diameter and the small diameter of up to five, which are used for wear. 

Machine for outerwear and under wear may vary from 12 inch to 60 inch in diameter according to manufactures requirement. This machine can be used either as fabric or for making garments completely with fancy stitch. Latch needles are commonly employed in all modern circular machines because of their simple action and also their ability to process more types of yarns.

 Important Parts of Circular Knitting Machine:

Creel: Creel is a part of a knitting machine. Hear yarn package are store and ready to feed in the machine.

VDQ Pulley: It is a very important part of the machine. It controls the quality of the product. Altering the position of the tension pulley changes the G.S.M. of the fabric. If pulley moves towards the positive directive then the G.S.M. is decrease. And in the reverse direction G.S.M will increase.

Pulley Belt: It controls the rotation of the MPF wheel.

Brush: Its clean the pulley belt.

Tension Disk: It confronts the tension of the supply yarn.

Inlet and Outlet Stop Motion: It is an important part of the machine. It stops the machine instantly when a yarn is break.

Yarn Guide: Its help the yarn to feed in the feeder.

MPF Wheel: Its control the speed of the MPF. Pulley belt gives motion to the wheel.

MPF: It is Mamenger positive feed. It is also an important part of the machine. It’s give positive feed to the machine.

Feeder Ring: It is a ring. Where all feeders are pleased together.

Disk Drum: Use in jacquard machine to produce various types of design.

Pattern Wheel: Pattern Wheel use in Pai Lung and Auto Stripe machine because of that that help to produce various types of design and stripe.

Feeder: Feeder is help yarn to feed in to the machine.

Needle Track: Where all Needles is placed together in a decent design.

Needle: It is a principal element of the knitting machine. Its help the yarn to create a loop. And by this way fabric are produce. Prior to yarn feeding the needle is raised to clear the old loop from the hook, and received the new loop above it on needle stem. The new loop is then enclosed in the needle hook as the needle starts to descend.

Sinker: It is most important element of the machine. Its help to loop forming, knocking over and holding down the loop.

Sinker Ring: Sinker ring is a ring. Where all sinkers are pleased together.

Cam Box: Where the cam are set horizontally.

Cam: Cam is device s which converts the rotary machine drive in to a suitable reciprocating action for the needles and other elements.

Lycra Attachment Device: Lycra is placed hear. And feeding to the machine.

Lycra Stop Motion: It is one kind of stop motion to stop the machine when the Lycra is break.

Cylinder: Needle track are situated hear.

Cylinder Balancer: It helps the cylinder to set in a proper alignment.

Uniwave Lubrication: The Uniwave lubricator provides uniform lubrication to needles, cam tracks, lifters and other knitting machine components. The patented nozzle construction separates the air-oil mixture into air and droplets of oil.

Adjustable Fan: This part removes lint, hairy fibre from yarn and others. To clean the dust by air flow.

Expander: To control the width of the knitted fabric. No distortion of the knitting courses. Even take down tension in the knitting machine. As a result, an even fabric structure is achieved over the entire fabric width. The deformation of the knitted fabric goods can be reduced.

Needle Detector: This part detect the any type of faults of needles.

Air Gun Nozzle: To feed the yarn; sometimes it is used for cleaning purpose.

What is Loop Transfer?   A loop that is displaced after being formed so that it combines with an adjacent loop, or so that it appears in a different wale, is said to have been transferred.  Loop transfer is done to achieve shaping, produce a design, or change the stitch structure. Transferring is used to generate holes in the fabric to form lace-like effects. Transferring can be used to produce structural effects by inclining wales of both plain and rib fabrics. This is also used to produce cables by exchanging two or more groups of wales with one another.  Properties and uses of the Transferred Stitch : Loop transfer is widely used in flat knitting for various reasons, some of which are described below:  1. Changing from rib to plain:  Often, garments are produced with a rib welt, which provides elastic properties, and then continues as a plain construction to reduce thickness and weight. In these cases, all the loops participating in the production of the rib welt are transf

Robbing Back

Robbing Back: Knapton and Munden suggested the phenomenon of ' robbing back ' to be the reason why the measured  loop length  in a  knitted structure  is smaller than the theoretical loop length when calculated from the depth of the  stitch cam setting , as well as the reason for fluctuations in input tension producing large variations in loop length. As the needles descend the stitch cam, the tension required to pull yarn from the package increases rapidly and it becomes easier to rob back yarn in the opposite direction from the already-formed loops of needles further back that are then beginning to rise from their lowest (knock-over) position. With reference to Fig. 22.3, it was suggested that, under the dynamic conditions of loop formation, yarn tension increases (according to Amontons' Law of Friction) as it passes over the  knitting  elements from point A. Robbing back occurs from needles on the other side of the stitch cam. The lowest point of tension is reached at
