Fabric Weight and Course Density Monitoring
topic
Inline fabric weight monitoring systems on circular knitting machines measure the actual fabric production weight per unit time using take-up tension sensors and feed rate data to calculate real-time fabric weight per square metre, comparing against target weight and triggering alerts when weight deviates beyond tolerance, with automatic stitch cam adjustment systems correcting stitch length to return fabric weight to specification without operator intervention.
Role
Maintains fabric weight consistency throughout production runs by providing continuous feedback control of the stitch length that determines fabric weight, enabling automatic correction of drift from set weight caused by yarn count variation, temperature changes, and yarn lubrication differences that would cause between-roll weight variation detectable in finished fabric as shading differences.
