Full CamMotorized Carriage  
With the full cam motorized super small carriage, the cam knit, tuck, transfer actions are controled by motors, greatly reducing the cam failure rate. The carriage systems are cooperated with optimized course to have shorter return distance, faster return speed, truly achieving high-speed,efficientand stable production.

Electric Brush  
The motor controls the action of the brush, reduces the contact between the brush and the needle, and improves the stability of the needle transfer.18G standard.

Threading Plate  
Waste-Yarn-Free Casting On Eliminates waste yarn processing time, reduces operator workload, and significantly lowers production costs. Equipped with a yarn-catching device that shortens main yarn leads, saving yarn consumption while preventing fabric defects and rolling caused by long leads. Features servo closed-loop precision control for the threading plate take-down, resolving density inconsistencies between plate and roller take-down during rib knitting. Ensures more even tension, improved fabric panel quality, and aesthetically superior cast-on edges.

Automatic Oil  
The automatic oil filling device has the functions of automatic reminder of insufficient oil quantity and oil pressure, and adjustable oil filling time and interval. Realize timing and quantitative automatic lubrication for high-speed machine, and eliminate the problem of oil needle or wear caused by human factors. Greatly increase the service life of the machine.

Sample
