Step by Step to 'Pattern-13'

  1. Copy the 'Pattern-12' pattern project and rename it.
  2. With it, the shape is copied as well.
    1
    Open the tool window Plating Colors with in the Pattern Colors tool window.
    2
    Create a plating color in line P1 of the Plating Colors tool window:

    3
    Select the CA tab of the tool window.
    4
    Open the existing Color Arrangement.
    5
    Make the desired changes:

Color Arrangement CA1

Variant CA1

 

Control Columns:

  • W Presser Foot (weft yarn presser foot)
  • E Presser Foot (knitting-in presser foot)

: These control columns can be used in the design pattern and in the Color Arrangement editor as well.

 

Control Column W Presser Foot

1

Selection of the presser foot type mounted to the machine

Example:

  • Presser Foot Type 1: W1 (corresponds to the former W) = Presser foot with flat groove
  • Presser Foot Type 2: W2 = Presser foot with deep groove

2

Switch W presser foot on

  • Auto ()
    • The system automatically determines whether the front or rear presser foot is being used.
    • The W presser foot is marked by ?.
  • Front (v)
  • Rear (^)

: The weft yarn presser foot always works ahead of the knitting system

 

Control Column E Presser Foot

1

Selection of the presser foot type mounted to the machine

2

Activate the E presser foot

  • Auto ()
    • The system automatically determines whether the front or rear presser foot is being used.
    • The E presser foot is marked by ?.
  • Front (v)
  • Rear (^)

: The weft yarn presser foot always works following the knitting system

 

System 1

The E presser foot is activated

Result:

The presser feet collide.

System 2

The W presser foot is activated

System 2

The E presser foot is activated

System 3

The W presser foot is activated

System 1

The E presser foot is activated

Result:

Presser foot collides with weft yarn carrier

System 2

W yarn carrier active

System 2

The E presser foot is activated

System 3

Weft yarn carrier active

 

Activating the Presser Feet

Attention!

Presser feet at front and rear must not be activated at the same time, otherwise they will collide.

These unallowed combinations will be detected by the technical processing and the processing will be canceled.

Needle actions for the weft yarn:

Needle Action

Meaning

The yarn carrier (weft yarn) runs before the knitting system with which transferring to the back over the weft yarn is performed.

The yarn carrier (weft yarn) runs before the knitting system with which transferring to the front over the weft yarn is performed.

The system that precedes the weft yarn transfers the stitches to the front. The yarn carrier (weft yarn) runs before the knitting system with which transferring to the back over the weft yarn is performed.

The system that precedes the weft yarn transfers the stitches to the rear. The yarn carrier (weft yarn) runs before the knitting system with which transferring to the front over the weft yarn is performed.

The yarn carrier (weft yarn) runs before the knitting system which raises needles of the front needle bed without a yarn carrier over the weft yarn. The front stitch is cast-off. In contrast to transferring, the opposite needle is not driven out for receiving.

The yarn carrier (weft yarn) runs before the knitting system which raises needles of the rear needle bed without a yarn carrier over the weft yarn. The rear stitch is cast-off. In contrast to transferring, the opposite needle is not driven out for receiving.

: These needle actions cannot be combined with the knitting needle action in the same knitting row.

Apply the symbols for the weft yarn in the Color Arrangement:

  • Insert a for the weft yarn carrier into the Plating Offset (YPI) control column.

Symbol

Meaning

Possible definition for a yarn carrier as weft yarn carrier

  • In the Plating Offset (YPI) control column
    • Open the control column of Design Pattern.
    • In the Color Arrangement
  • In the plating color dialog box

: This yarn carrier runs with a defined distance before the knitting system.
For the Q yarn carrier the same command as for the split-stitch technique is used in Sintral

  • $XS n – m

: This command allows the driving of a yarn carrier in the knitting system when transferring.

Working with Yarn Carrier Corrections in CA:

  1. The Color Arrangement is opened.
    6
    Display the Yarn Carrier Correction (YC / YCI) control column.
    7
    Open the context menu with RMB.
    8
    Select the desired YCI index e.g. YCI1 and enter it in the control column.
    9
    Open the context menu with RMB and select Show in Table.
  1. Pattern Parameters tool window / Yarn Carriers tab / Yarn Carrier Correction (YC / YCI) section

 

    10
    Enter a negative value for yarn carrier 9A into the column.
  1. The yarn carrier 9A therefore runs in front of the yarn carrier 8A by the value of -30 mm.
    2. 11
    Close the Color Arrangement.
    12
    Check the generated Color Arrangement on correct entries with the Check button.
    : The knitting procedure cannot be checked!
    13
    Enter the created Color Arrangement via the control column from the 3rd pattern row into the remaining pattern rows in the design pattern.
    14
    Select an existing shape from the Shapes tab of the tool window.
    15
    Position the shape on the Design Pattern.
    16
    If necessary, make the desired settings in the Yarn Carriers tool window.
    17
    If desired, make the desired presets in the following control columns:
    18
    Carry out all the steps of processing.

After Technical Processing: Knitting cycle with 2 weft yarn carriers

CA1

: Yarn carrier 9RQ and 8RQ insert before the system S1.
