Intelligent Yarn Detector (Optional)
The intelligent stitch control device can automatically control the yarn feeding quantity according to the fabric demand and realize high-quality production.
Four Needle Bed
Equipped with 4 fully formed needle beds, its structure is to add 2 needle beds to the previous V-shaped needle beds. By making full use of these four needle beds, the functions of sending needles, receiving, adding needles, and binding off needles for all kinds of double-sided fabrics are realized, and the unprecedented advantage of transfer needles is achieved. Various patterns and styles can be knitted.
Flexible take-down device
Replace the traditional continu-ouspulling roller with a flexible pulling device composed of multiple motor rakes. Single electric needle rake can beadjusted in sections and regions to effectively control the tension of different parts of the fabric.
