Striping and Yarn Feed Control Systems
topic
Circular knitting machine striping systems change the active yarn feed at defined course intervals using yarn carrier switching mechanisms that present different colour yarns to the knitting zone, with electronic pattern control programming the colour change sequence, course count, and carrier selection for each feeder position to produce single or multi-colour horizontal stripe patterns programmed from CAD design files.
Role
Enables horizontal stripe fabric production on circular knitting machines without machine stop or manual yarn change, with striping attachment speed and yarn change reliability determining the minimum stripe repeat achievable and the efficiency of stripe fabric production that is a major market segment in casualwear, sportswear, and t-shirt fabrics requiring consistent stripe width and colour placement accuracy.
