Controlling circular knitting machine with microcomputer control - involves programming storage with one or several values related to knitting technology

摘要

A control process for a circular knitting machine is equipped with a microcomputer control system. A storage unit (1) with one or several values determined by knitting technology and representing the initial state is programmed and at least one of these values is transferred into a counter storage (8). A signal representing the instantaneous knitting performance is produced and reduces the contents of the counter storage. The contents are subsequently compared to the programmed values. ADVANTAGE - The process eliminates the temporal and spatial sepn. of these processes; oiling, blowing, stoppages and registering performance.
