Divided Stitch Cam

Enclosing the Weft Yarn Earlier with DJ Fabrics

Problem:
Enclosing the weft yarn by risen needles in advance.
Advantages:

Stitch cam can be exchanged easily.
Divided Stitch Cam can be configured separately for each system and for both carriage directions.
The converted knitting system with Divided Stitch Cam can form stitches and tuck without restrictions.

Disadvantage:

Transferring and split stitches cannot be performed by this cam box.

Application Examples:

Newly inserted weft yarns will not be held securely below the needle crossing (crossing point of the supporting surfaces of opposite needles), as they are not enclosed by the fabric. Raising the needles earlier by the transferring curve allows to "lock" the weft yarn in the needle bed gap until the following stitch row is knitted.

Gauge-dependent restriction of the stitch lengths:

Only the way down from channel of the divided stitch cam to the loop sinking edge can be used for the stitch length.

Gauge	Max. valid NP value
E10	11.8
E12	12.6
E14	13.0
E16	---
E18	---
E 6.2	12.6

During the technical processing, the system specifications are automatically checked for each front and rear system and the carriage direction:
An error message appears if a divided stitch cam is mounted and the specified stitch length exceeds the allowed NP value.
