Without comb

Coupling width 0

II. With tandem - Generate multi-piece pattern without comb:

The workflow of the CMS 822 corresponds to the workflow of CMS 933/922/422TC/433TC as tandem.

The knitting program is generated for the left carriage with knitting systems S1 and S2.
The needle selection is calculated internally for the left fabric and is transferred to the right fabric with the knitting systems S3 and S4.

    1
    Generate new pattern.
    - or -
    Load the existing pattern as basic pattern .
    2
    Activate the Tandem operation checkbox and select the coupling width under Settings for tandem operation when selecting the machine.

The distance of both the knitting areas must be enough to place the yarn carriers in use.
Take note of the double assignments of yarn carrier rails.

    Open the Knitting Areas tab of the Configuration dialog box via the Pattern Parameters / Configuration... menu.
    4
    Position the Start Position SEN1 to the left with a great working width.
    5
    Set the Number of SEN in the Knitting Areas tab to 1.

The two carriages function as one carriage with wide space between S2 and S3 with the system sequence

The machine works as a compact machine with comb but with wide coupled carriages.
This type of operation is called Sintral TANDEM-CCC.

    Select Use comb and Module when selecting the start.
    3
    Open the Knitting Areas tab of the Configuration dialog box via the Pattern Parameters / Configuration... menu.
    4
    Position the Start Position SEN1 to the left with a great working width.
    5
    Set the Number of SEN in the Knitting Areas tab to 1.
    6
    Confirm input with OK.
    7
    Start the technical processing for two pieces with .
  1. The Coupling width dialog box appears.
    8
    Select the desired coupling width.
    9
    Close the dialog box with OK.
  1. The technical processing for 2 pieces is carried out and the prompt Generate MC Program appears.
    10
    Confirm the query with OK.
  1. In the opened views are shown 2 pieces.

All yarn carriers, even for comb thread, draw thread and elastic thread will be doubled with the processing for two pieces.
