5 Important Things About Tubular Knitting Machine You Must Know

Tubular knitting machine is a fabric knitting machine which can help us produce tube-shaped fabrics. Here I will tell you the 5 important things about tubular knitting machine you must know.

What machine does tubular knitting machine belong to?

Tubular knitting machine belong to fabric knitting machine. Fabric knitting machine and Garment-length knitting machine are classified by weft knitting machine according to the final product.

Fabric knitting machine

The fabric knitting machine knits fabric at high speed. After knitting the appropriate length. We cut the fabric manually from the machine. Due to the high speed and productive efficiency. We often use circular knitting machines to knit tube-shaped fabrics.

Garment-length knitting machine

Garment-length machines include hosiery machine, pantyhose machines and glove machines.Besides these, most flat machine and sweater strip machines also belong to Gaement-length machines.
On these machines, the garment sequence control with the timing/counting device. We call them ‘the machine control’. It will automatically initiates any modifications to other devices on the machine. Then the machine can knit a garment-length construction sequence instead of a continuous fabric.

Difference between them

The difference between fabric and garment-length knitting is best understood in terms of hand flat knitting. If the knitter merely traverses the cam carriage backwards and forwards across the needle bed, a continuous fabric length will be knitted. However, if the knitter counts the traverses and alters the cam box settings at predetermined traverses, a garment-length sequence can be knitted.

How does tubular knitting machine work?

Generally, tube-shaped fabric are produced on circular knitting machine. So the working principle of tubular knitting machine is same as circular knitting machine.
Knitting needles cooperate with sinker to make into a circular weft knitting yarn. After that, the needles connect them into knitted fabrics. Click here to get more details on how the machine works.

Twist Test Methods and Influencing Factors

Image
  Twist test is an important part of yarn inspection. It is related to the strength, elongation, appearance, style, etc. of yarns and fabrics. Different yarns have different structural characteristics, and their twist testing methods are also different. Basic concept To understand twist testing, you must first understand what twisting is. Twisting is a necessary condition for yarn formation. Short fibers can be made into yarns with certain physical and mechanical properties through twisting; filaments often need to be twisted in order to increase the tightness between single filaments, facilitate processing, and improve fabric properties. Number of twists Twisting is to cause two cross-sections of parallel straight fiber slivers to rotate relative to each other. The number of relative rotations of the two cross-sections is called the number of twists. Twist Twist refers to the number of twists per unit length of yarn . Twist coefficient In actual production, the twist coefficient is of

Combing Process in Spinning

Image
Before processing cotton, wool, and silk fibers into fabrics, the process of removing impurities and short fibers in the fibers with a combing machine is called combing. The texture, washability and durability of the fabric produced through this process are greatly improved compared with carded fabrics. The following introduces the composition of the combing machine and the combing process. The kinematic coordination relationship of the main parts on the combing machine is indicated by a dial. The disc is mounted on the combing machine and rotates synchronously with the cylinder, which is generally called the indexing disc. The index plate is divided into 40 equal parts along the circumference, and each equal part is 9°, which becomes one index. The working cycle refers to the time interval between the combing cylinder of the intermittent combing machine corresponding to the two actions of combing the whiskers. That is: the first row of needles in the combing cylinder goes to the botto

Garment Dyeing-Special Dyeing Method In Textile

Image
Garment dyeing is a relatively special dyeing process for textiles and garments. Many people may not know much about this dyeing process. In the impression of most people, textile and clothing products are dyed in the fabric period, and garment dyeing is a dyeing process that breaks people’s cognitive limitations on textile dyeing. ​What is garment dyeing ​Garment dyeing means that dyeing the one not in the fabric type but in the garment type itself. The garment type mentioned above include socks, towels, sportswear, shirts, plush toys (without fillers), T-shirts, pants, bathrobes, handkerchiefs, bath mats, carpets, scarves, etc. The material of these garments can be wool, linen, silk and cotton of natural fibers. But most garments are made of cotton or a cotton-rich blends. Garment dyeing imparts vibrant colors to garments. The clothes such as denim garments, tops, sportswear and casual clothing with garment dyeing can provide a distinctive special effect. Garment dyeing method Garmen
