Warp knitting machine and weft knitting machine

Warp knitting machine and weft knitting machine

We can usually distinguish warp knitting machines from weft knitting machines by the type of fabric that the machine produced. The wrap knitting machine produces wrap fabrics, and the other produces weft fabrics.

What is wrap knitting machine

Wrap knitting machine

The warp knitting machine includes following mechanism: braiding structure, comb bar traverse mechanism, let-off mechanism, pulling and coiling mechanism and driving mechanism.

The main loop forming parts of warp knitting machine are knitting needles, yarn guide needles, sinkers and pressure plate (used for crochet machine). The knitting needles are arranged in a row on a needle bed and move with it. Guide needles are mounted on strips. Stripping comb consists of a guide needle mounted on a strip. The warp yarn passes through the hole of the guide needle, moves with the stripping comb and pads on the needle. Through the mutual movement of the knitting needle, the sinkers and other circular machine parts. Then the wrap yarn can be knitted into the fabric.

We often use warp knitting machine to knit curtain, tablecloth, bedspread, blanket, lace, women’s inner coat, fishing net, packaging bags and other complex warp knitting fabrics.

What is weft knitting machine

General structure of weft knitting machine:

  1. Yarn feeding mechanism: The yarn feeding mechanism has another name, feeding mechanism. It include yarn frame, yarn storage device (weft storage), feeding mouth, feeding plate, yarn ring bracket and other components.
  2. Knitting mechanism: We can also call the loop forming mechanism the knitting mechanism, and its main parts are syringes, knitting needles, sinkers, triangular device and yarn guide device, etc. These parts cooperate with each other to form the loop movement.
  3. Pulling and coiling structure: The function of the pulling and coiling structure is to pull the machine knitted fabric out of the knitting area and wind (or fold) it into a certain coil form.
  4. The driving mechanism: The driving mechanism is the mechanism that makes all parts of the machine move.
  5. Auxiliary mechanism: The auxiliary device helps us to ensure the normal operation of knitting. Auxiliary devices of weft knitting machine usually include not only fault stop device, brake device, automatic refueling device. But also cleaning and dust removal device, cloth expander, switch device and so on.
Weft knitting machine

Weft knitted fabric not only has soft texture, good crease resistance and air permeability. But also has greater extensibility and elasticity, suitable for underwear, tights and sportswear.

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

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

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
