Knitting Action of Tricot Warp Knitting Machine

Experiment Name: Study on knitting action of Tricot warp knitting machine. Introduction: T he warp knitting machine is a knitting m/c where the loops are f ormed in course wise direction and the f abric produced is in open width f orm. In Tricot warp knitting m/c compound needles are used. T he warp yarns are f eed to the needles through guide bars using shogging and swinging motion. M/C specification: 1. Brand: LIBA 2. Origin: W. Germany 3. Manuf acturing Company: MASCHINEN FABRIK, NAILA. 4. Manuf acturing Year: 1991 5. Width: 84 inch/ 213 cm 6. Type: COP 2K 7. Gauge: 28 Knitting Action: 1. T he rest position: Te needles have risen to 2/3 of their f ull height f rom knock-over and have their hooks towards the back of the m/c. T he latch bar is in downward position and the guides are at the f ront of the m/c with the sinkers f orward, holding the old overlaps in their throats so that they are maintained in the correct height on the needle stems. 2. Needle rise and guide bar swing: With the sinkers f orward holding down the f abric, the hooks and tongues rise, with the hook rising f aster, until the head of the latter is level with the guide holes and is open. T he guides then swing through to the back of the m/c. 3. T he overlap and return swing: T he guides shog f or the overlap and swing to the f ront of the m/c immediately. T he hooks and the tongues start to descend with the tongues descending more slowly, thus closing the hook. 4. Hook closing: T he hooks and the tongues start to descend with the tongues descending more slowly, thus closing the hook 5. Landing: T he sinkers start to withdraw as the needles descend so that the old loop is landed onto the closed hook. T hus the landing is occurred. 6. Knock-over and under lap: T he sinkers start to withdraw as the needles descend so that the old loop is landed onto the closed hook and then knocked over as it descends below the sinker belly. At this point the under lap occurs bef ore the needles begin their upward rise and sinker move f orward to hold down the f abric. 7. T he sinkers now move f orward to hold down the f abric loops and push them away f rom the ascending needles, which are rising to the rest position.

Conclusion: T he knitting action of the Tricot warp knitting m/c is done by the needles, its sliding latches and the guide bars. T he main work of f eeding the thread around the needle is done by guides with their shogging and swinging motions. By this experiment I learned about the knitting action of a tricot warp knitting machine. T his experience will help me in my f uture practical lif e.
