Sample
The STGW series demonstrates significant advantages in pattern knitting, capable of producing single jersey, rib, links-links,eyelet, transfer stitching, bubble pattern, cable knitting, Aran pattern, and pique structures to meet diverse customer requirements.
Key Features
1.High Pattern Flexibility
Supports up to 24 yarn feeders, enabling complex multi-feeder patterns such as diamond float intarsia and multi-region partial jacquard.
The optional long float stitch knitting function allows direct knitting of long floating yarns without pattern restrictions, enabling completely different designs on both fabric sides and significantly expanding pattern creativity.
2.High Efficiency & Stability
The all-motor super small carriage reduces turning radius and idle travel, achieving a maximum knitting speed of 2.0 m/s.
Smart course optimization can reduce carriage runs by up to 50% for fabrics with frequent narrowing, complex patterns, and intensive racking movements.
3.Quality-Focused Fabric Control
Optional roller system ensures vertical alignment of side waste yarns during fully-fashioned knitting, reducing yarn waste and preventing fabric roll-up alarms.
The bilateral stitch density function enables precise digital adjustment of stitch length on both fabric sides, improving dimensional consistency and fabric stability.
4.Advanced Fabric Forming Technologies
The pioneering forced stripping (knocking-over) function effectively eliminates tuck stitch defects in all-needle and half-Milano fabrics with one-touch activation.
High-strength needles provide enhanced resistance to breakage and deformation under high tension.
5.Intelligent System & Maintenance
Intelligent pattern programming simplifies jacquard, intarsia, and partial jacquard development through single-layer pattern representation, improving programming efficiency and reducing technical workload.
The intelligent auto-oiling system allows customized lubrication cycles, minimizing wear between needle jacks and cams while extending component service life.
Application
The STGW series is suitable for producing a wide range of knitted fabrics and structures, including:
Single jersey
Rib and links-links
Eyelet and transfer stitches
Bubble and cable patterns
Aran and pique structures
It is an ideal solution for manufacturers seeking high flexibility, complex pattern capability, and stable mass production across diversified knitwear applications.
Detailed introduction
Supports 24 Yarn Feeders
The STGW model supports up to 24 yarn feeders, enabling the production of complex multi-feeder patterns such as diamond float intarsia and multi-zone partial jacquard.
Optional Long Float Stitch Knitting Function
The STGW model can be optionally configured with a long float stitch knitting function, enabling direct knitting of long floating yarns. This allows floating jacquard structures to be knitted without pattern limitations, with completely different designs on the front and back sides, significantly expanding pattern development possibilities.
All-Motor Ultra- Small Carriage
The optimized ultra-compact carriage design reduces the turning radius and significantly improves knitting efficiency. With a maximum machine speed of up to 2.0 m/s, overall productivity is substantially enhanced.
Yarn Breakage Alert
Clear and user-friendly yarn breakage alarm.
Safety Devices
Equipped with light curtain safety doors that immediately stop operation when the safety zone is obstructed, effectively preventing accidents.
Bilateral Racking
All gauges are standard-equipped with bidirectional racking to improve transfer efficiency and stability.
Dynamic Needle Bed
The needle bed can be dynamically adjusted to precisely control stitch density, effectively preventing stitches from being too loose or too tight.
Roller (Optional)
With fully-fashioned knitting technology, the STGW can produce a wider variety of fabrics. During knitting, the edge yarns are aligned vertically with the fabric, eliminating redundant yarn and preventing fabric roll-up. This reduces yarn waste, avoids roll-up alarms, and improves operator convenience.
Smart Comb
Enables direct bottom knitting without waste yarn, saving time, labor, and material costs.
Bilateral stitch function
Stitch density on both fabric edges can be digitally set through the system instead of manual adjustment. This allows precise length balancing on both sides, enhancing fabric stability and consistency.
Smart Course Optimization
For fabrics with frequent narrowing, complex patterns, and multiple racking movements, carriage runs can be reduced by up to 50% through intelligent racking merge optimization.
Forced Stripping
This pioneering forced knocking-over function addresses the industry-wide challenge of tuck stitch defects in all-needle and half-Milano fabrics. With one-touch activation via the intelligent system, it ensures stable, tuck stitch-free fabric production.
High-Strength Needle
Compared with conventional needles, high-strength needles offer improved resistance to breakage and deformation under high tension.
Intelligent Pattern Programming
Optimized programming for jacquard, intarsia, and partial jacquard structures with single-layer representation, eliminating the need for multi-layer pattern files. Any image can be directly imported to generate patterns. Dedicated narrowing symbols for full-gauge and 2×1 needle configurations ensure a consistent single-sided programming workflow without creating sub-patterns, significantly improving programming efficiency and reducing technician workload.
Intelligent Auto-Oiling System
The system allows customizable oiling intervals to automatically lubricate needle jacks, reducing wear between needle jacks and cams, extending component service life, and improving lubricant efficiency.
The STGW series demonstrates outstanding pattern knitting capability, supporting a wide range of fabric structures including single jersey, rib, links-links, eyelet, transfer stitching, bubble patterns, cable knitting, Aran patterns, and pique, meeting diverse customer requirements.
