How to choose a high-quality circular knitting machine

Circular knitting machines are precision machines, and the cooperation of each system is crucial. The shortcomings of each system will become the upper limit of the machine’s performance. So why the seemingly simple circular knitting machines production, there are few brands on the market that can do well.

Many customers make a misunderstanding when purchasing circular knitting machines. They only focus on visible brand configurations such as yarn storage feeder and knitting needles, and often ignore the parts of the machine itself that require the most attention.

So today we disassemble the support mechanism, knitting system, cleaning system, transmission mechanism, lubrication system, yarn feeding system, pulling mechanism and other aspects to explain in detail what is a balanced and stable machine.

The support mechanism is also the frame part. Some machine castings are full of pores and loose in texture. The stability of this kind of casting to machine support will be much worse. When the machine is running at high speed, slight vibrations will be transmitted to the final cloth surface effect.

The residual stress of components that have not undergone actual testing has not been released. There is no problem at the moment of installation. However, after a period of time, the components will deform or shrink slightly. This amount of deformation is often invisible to the naked eye, but it is already significant for precision machinery. Deadly.

If the same problem occurs on the large plate or top plate gear, it will cause the gear meshing clearance to change.

The cylinder with poor material will be worn by knitting needles after running for a period of time. The worn metal powder is mixed with needle oil and brought to the yarn by the knitting needle to produce oil needles. The inside of the worn cylinder , the position of the knitting needle changes, thus forming loops of inconsistent sizes resulting in unresolved vertical strips.

The lubrication system is directly related to the service life of the later sinkers and knitting needles, and also means the frequency of replacement and the cost of use.

The lubrication system of the sinker must ensure that the sinker shoulders, heels and body are fully lubricated. The position of the oil nozzle is very critical. In terms of lubrication of knitting needles, what everyone is concerned about is the lubrication inside the needle butt. What is easily overlooked is the position of the needle hook and needle latch.

The cleaning system can extend the cleaning time, reduce machine maintenance work and reduce downtime, thereby improving production efficiency.

Regarding the yarn feeding system, I won’t go into details about the yarn storage feeder that everyone will pay attention to. What is easy to overlook is the creel. The thickened square steel and solid bracket can make the entire yarn feeding system more stable.

In terms of transmission system, I believe you will pay attention to choosing stable and reliable brands for motors and frequency converters. In terms of transmission belts, the synchronous belt has a more stable transmission ratio. The bearings are installed in invisible places and are present in various systems. They are often the most ignored by customers. It is best to carefully ask the manufacturer what brand of bearings they use.

In addition to the number of sections, uniform speed and cloth rolling roller of the take down system, shock absorption is very important in the pulling system. A good shock absorption system can extend the service life of the cloth rolling machine gearbox and reduce the wear of the large plate gear.

The above aspects represent the basis of machine precision and quality. Many people think that circular knitting machine manufacturing is very simple, but we always remain in awe and learn endlessly. Many people think that ordinary machines have little technical content, but we believe that the more common models are, the harder it is to make them well, and the simpler the cloth surface, the harder it is to make them perfect.
