Cord Knitting Machine

A Cord knitting machine (CKM) is a machine that is used in obtaining textiles that uses at least two needles to form stitches that shape the textile during the knitting process.

Different types of cord knitting machines and their features

A sweater knitting machine is suitable for knitting sweaters, collars, shoes, school uniforms, ready-to-wear cardigans, hats, scarves, and other cloth accessories. A twisted cord knitting device is mounted between the yarn bucket and the knitting machine, which greatly reduces the uneven tension created by long processing times. When the yarn is contested, or there is a yarn breakage, the sensor in the cord knitting device will sound an alarm, and the machine will stop working. This prevents the broken thread from entering the knitting area, making the process of thread splicing easy and avoiding damaging the quality of the fabric. An elastic cord knitting machine is equipped with a power failure protection system in which the machine can automatically memorize and restore data during a power failure so that the machine can continue pending work according to the programmed pattern. This avoids thread wastage and saves a lot of time without compromising the fabric quality. The cotton cord knitting and coated wire cord knitting machines adopt an industrial LCD display with a monitoring function in which the data of knitting frequency, time, speed, density, etc., are clearly indicated and can be adjusted easily. Cord circular knitting machine has the function of continuous knitting in which different patterns can be circularly woven. As soon as the selected pattern is woven, the mask cord knitting machine will automatically select the next pattern that needs to be woven. This feature helps in saving time and yarn usage, which also facilitates production management.

Knitting versus crocheting: what is the difference?

Knitting with a knitting technique that uses circular knitting needles creates loose stitch holes so that the result tends to fall. Accordingly, knitting techniques are more widely used in clothing and textile manufacturing, such as dresses, tunics, ponchos, mittens, and blankets. For instance, a hat made from the knitting technique produces a beanie with a soft and supple texture. Traditional crochet is designed to create tight stitch holes, which results in stiff fabric. However, the crochet technique is perfect for accessory objects such as brooches, amigurumi dolls, and bags.
