Warp Knitting Machine Manual


Knitting is the use of knitting needles to knit yarn into loops and each other string sets and the formation of knitted fabrics, according to the different methods of knitting, knitting production can be divided into two major categories of weft knitting and warp knitting, knitting machine is also divided into weft knitting machine and warp knitting machine accordingly two major categories of knitting machine. A group or several groups of parallel arrangement of yarn in the warp direction to feed the warp knitting machine on the working needle, at the same time into the loop and the formation of warp knitted fabrics.

The widest weaving width of the warp knitting machine up to 7 ~ 8m, the body length of more than 10m, weighing more than ten tons. Warp knitting machine speed, high output, the fastest HKS2 warp knitting machine speed up to 3300m/min, warp knitted fabrics are not only used in the field of clothing and decorative use, in the field of industrial use in a very wide range of applications. Warp-knitted fabrics are not only used in the field of clothing and decoration, but also have a wide range of applications in the industrial field, such as warp-knitted geogrids and warp-knitted vegetation netting. 

Warp knitting machine can be divided into Tricot (Tricot) type warp knitting machine (also known as high-speed type warp knitting machine) and Rasche1 (Raschel) type warp knitting machine (also known as fancy type warp knitting machine) two categories. The difference between the two early warp knitting machine is that the former is a detailed type of crochet warp knitting machine, high speed, the product is more single the latter is a rugged type of tongue and needle warp knitting machine, lower speed, the production of more varieties of fancy.

Now, both types of warp knitting machines use composite needles - slot needles - and both types of machines have high speeds. Nowadays, the state of the angle between the blank and the needle when the blank is drawn away from the needle determines which type of warp knitting machine it belongs to. Usually, on a Tricot warp knitting machine, this angle is close to 90° and on a Raschel warp knitting machine, it is close to 180°, i.e. close to vertical downward pulling. Some fabrics are only suitable for Raschel warp knitting, such as spandex mesh fabrics, while others are better suited to the Tricot warp knitting machine, such as bi-directional stretch flat fabrics.
