Step by Step to 'Pattern-1'

  1. A pattern project with one pattern and the desired settings is created.
    1
    To draw select any desired drawing tool under the Drawing group.
    2
    ----------------------------------------
    3
    Carry out Technical Processing if necessary.
    : After carrying out the Technical Processing you are able to view and weigh up the result of the automatic processing, if corrections / optimizations are necessary.
    4
    Back to the Design Pattern to make pattern-related changes.
    5
    Open the Yarn Carriers tool window for this purpose.
    6
    In the Color Parameters table make the desired changes in the following groups, if necessary:
    7
    If desired, make the desired presets in the following control columns:
    8
    If necessary, make the desired presets for combining yarn carriers in the More Settings tab of the Configuration dialog box.

Several yarn carriers are combined in one system by the technical processing (knitting sequence) to optimize the production time.

:
The yarn carriers will be combined only if this is possible based on the color field distances.
The result is visible in the Symbol View after the technical processing.

Options in the Configuration dialog box

    1
    In the ribbon select the Config­uration button.
  1. The dialog box appears.
  2. 2
    Select the More Settings tab.
    3
    Make the desired presettings for the Combine Yarn Carriers.
  • Yarn Insertion:
    Secure Yarn Insertion at Color Widening is active (standard)

1

Yarn Insertion

Do not combine (Default setting)

No automatic combining of the yarn carriers.

:

  • High run time because of regular knitting process for Intarsia:
  • Nice, uniform binding at the color field borders

Combining with high productivity

Automatic combining of the yarn carriers, where the result cannot be influenced.

:

  • Shortest run time with possible problems with the Intarsia binding (tuck) at the color field border.

Secure Yarn Insertion at Color Widening

Automatic, uniform combining of the yarn carriers with an optimized knitting process for secure yarn insertion with the tuck binding.

:

  • Uniform Intarsia binding will be achieved at the color field border.
  • Reduced run time without problems with the Intarsia binding (tuck)

2

Allow NPJ when combining yarn carriers

NPJ allowed (default setting)

Result:
Two color areas can be combined by the technical processing, due to the distances and the differently defined stitch tensions (NP).

NPJ allowed is disabled

Result:
Two color areas could be combined due to the distances.
Due to the differently defined stitch tensions (NP), these color fields are not combined by the technical processing.

3

Additional yarn carrier distance for corrections on the machine (YC/YCI)

 1/16 inch

Adjust the safety distance in order to make corrections on the machine (YC/YCI in the setup).
Default value: 0

: You can specify a shorter yarn carrier distance especially with coarser gauges.

    9
    Start the Technical Processing.
    With the button, show Symbol view after technical processing.
  1. The yarn carriers are automatically combined after the set specifications and the Intarsia rules (constructive facts of the Intarsia yarn carriers on the machine).

Setting in the Configuration dialog box

    4
    In the ribbon select the Config­uration button.
  1. The dialog box appears.
  2. 5
    Select the More Settings tab.
    6
    Make the desired presettings for the Combine Yarn Carriers:
  • Yarn Insertion : Do not combine is enabled
    7
    Start the Technical Processing.
  1. The yarn carriers will not be combined automatically. This corresponds to a nice, uniform Intarsia knitting process with a high machine run time.
    10
    Generate Sintral.
    11
    Start the Sintral Check.
    12
    Extract the knitting program.
  1. A program for the knitting machine will be created: CMS530.Pattern-1.zip.
  2. 13
    Load knitting program into the machine.

: The extracted file CMS530.Pattern-1.zip can be loaded onto the machine with an USB stick or via Ethernet.
