Yarn & Fabric Details
- Yarn Types: Natural fibers (cotton, wool, silk, linen), synthetic fibers (polyester, acrylic); both can be dyed pre/post knitting.
- Fabric Output: Fancy lace, elastic tapes, decorative narrow fabrics, fringes.
Control, Automation & Features
- Speed Control: Frequency converter for stepless speed adjustment.
- Pattern Control: Link chain or computerized PLC pattern systems (optional).
- Safety/Stop Functions: Auto stop on yarn breakage and safety interlocks.
- Cutting Functions: For certain fancy textures — integrated yarn cutting during knitting cycle.
General Notes
- Fancy knitting machines are designed for decorative or specialty textile products rather than basic tubular fabrics (like sweaters).
- They may be configured with advanced automation (PLC control) and pattern link systems to generate complex designs.
- Output and productivity depend on yarn type, machine automation level, and operational settings.
