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.
