Motor-Controlled Carriage

All carriage actions are motor controlled. Optimized travel, zero-return operation, automatic action detection and intelligent correction support stable production.

sweater 2

Waste-Yarn-Free Comb

A wire passes through the loops for waste-yarn-free take-down. Servo closed-loop traction provides controlled tension and reduces waste-yarn knitting and separation work.

Automatic Lubrication

Low oil quantity and pressure alerts, with adjustable lubrication timing and quantity, help reduce carriage and needle-bed wear.

Pattern Sizing

Adjust course and wale repeat counts according to fabric dimensions to produce different sizes from one machine file.

sweater 4

Knitting Plans

Set required quantities for front panels, back panels and sleeves. The system executes the production sequence continuously.
