FlexPly Knitting Technique

The FlexPly knitting technique corresponds to the Devoré Knitting Technique executed on both needle beds in the same system.

As with plating, knitting is done with two yarn carriers (1) + (2) by one system.

Some needles only knit the yarn of the leading yarn carrier (1).
Other needles knit the yarns of both yarn carriers (1) + (2) at the same time.

1	Leading yarn carrier Binding Thread
2	Following yarn carrier Motif Thread
3	The needles (dark blue and dark grey) are withdrawn between yarn carrier (1) + (2). Only the yarn from the leading yarn carrier (1) is caught by the needles (3).
4	The needles (light blue and light grey) are sunken behind the following yarn carrier (2). All needles are then sunk together.

Use FlexPly in a pattern:

Only ADF machines, EKC type, E 7.2
System Conversion of both opposing knitting systems is required.

1: Activate FlexPly in the Configuration dialog box -> Attributs de machine tab -> Fonctions système section.

In the systems with FlexPly system conversion, only stitch but no tuck can be knitted.
This is why this selection is also disabled by default.

2: Activate this function if you want to use the converted system for ordinary stitch forming anyway.

Provide a plating color with YPI for the corresponding areas.
précédente , Position d'insertion << and Position d'insertion >> e.g. -6,5
Converted systems do not support other needle actions such as clamping, transfer, tuck or split.

3: Enter FlexPly avant et arrière into the Fonction système control column.

4: Define a plating color with two pattern colors for the two yarn carriers in the Couleurs de vanisage tool window.
Leading yarn carrier contains the binding thread.
Following yarn carrier contains the motif thread.

5: Select the plating offset 1 for the leading yarn carrier and the plating offset 2 for the following yarn carrier.
The following values in the plating offset table are recommended.
Leading yarn carrier:
Insert Position -6.5
Height 0
Following yarn carrier:
Insert Position 6.5
Height 0
Plating Offset (YPI)

6: Draw the plating color into the desired FlexPly area.

Systems converted for FlexPly cannot drive yarn carriers into clamping position.
