,RL KNITTING MACHINE
Sinkers move with the help of a cam.
Symmetrical allows the needles to turn both ways.
Asymmetrical does not do this. Needlebed turns
in 1 direction.
The cam
o Cams need to be able to work both ways
o Cams are asymmetrical
o 4 needle lanes (4-track)
o Short and long needles
Needles
Bouncing is a problem for needles in a cam. Improve by:
o Making the cam more smooth
o Providing the needle with shock absorber (meander
needle)
o Bent steel needles (needle shaft is bent in opposite
direction of cylinder’s direction of rotation)
Centrifugal force: makes the latches stand out
Lateral air resistance: needles are bent, therefor don’t
connect to needle head well.
, MEANDER NEEDLES
o Low friction
o Bouncing is reduced
o Energy savings
FULL SHANK NEEDLES
LOW PROFILE
