Adjusting the mesh parameters of a computerized flat knitting machine to achieve the best knitting effect is a process involving multiple steps and details. The following is a detailed guide to help users make this adjustment:
1. Understand the basic concept of mesh parameters
The mesh parameter usually refers to the setting value of the computerized flat knitting machine to control the coil size (i.e. the tightness of the yarn on the needle bed) during the knitting process. The size of the mesh value directly affects the density, elasticity and appearance of the knitted fabric.
2. Inspection work before preparation
Machine status: Make sure that the computerized flat knitting machine is in good working condition, without faults or abnormalities.
Yarn selection: Select the appropriate yarn according to the knitting requirements and check the quality and tension of the yarn.
Program setting: Enter the basic parameters on the machine's computer, including knitting patterns, number of needles, etc.
3. Steps to adjust the mesh parameters
Enter the mesh adjustment mode: Enter the mesh parameter adjustment mode through the computerized flat knitting machine's operating interface.
Preliminary setting of the mesh value: Preliminary setting of a mesh value based on the expected density and elasticity of the knitted fabric. This value usually needs to be determined based on experience or trial knitting samples.
Conduct trial weaving: Use the preliminarily set mesh value to conduct trial weaving and observe the actual effect of the knitted fabric. Pay attention to check the size, uniformity and elasticity of the coil.
Fine-tune the mesh value: According to the trial weaving results, gradually adjust the mesh value until a satisfactory knitting effect is obtained. When adjusting, you can change a smaller value each time to avoid the adverse consequences caused by over-adjustment.
Record and adjust: During the adjustment process, record the mesh value and the corresponding knitting effect of each adjustment for subsequent reference and optimization.
Avoid over-adjustment: Over-adjustment of the mesh value may cause the coil to be too large or too small, affecting the quality and appearance of the knitted fabric.
Pay attention to the yarn tension: The tension of the yarn has a great influence on the mesh parameters, so when adjusting the mesh value, you need to pay attention to the tension of the yarn at the same time.
Regular maintenance and care: Keeping the computerized flat knitting machine clean and in good working condition will help obtain more accurate mesh parameters and better knitting effects.
Adjusting the mesh parameters of the computerized flat knitting machine is a process that requires patience and meticulous operation. By understanding the basic concept of mesh parameters, preparing for inspection before adjustment, following the steps to make adjustments, and paying attention to relevant matters, users can gradually master this skill and obtain the best knitting effect. At the same time, regular maintenance and care of computerized flat knitting machines are also important factors in ensuring knitting quality.
