Better overview of the weft yarn carriers in the table of plating colors:

  • Weft yarn carrier (ADF running before system 1)
    Furthermore type Q
  • Weft yarn carrier by the leading system (normal yarn carrier)
    for all CMS W machines
    Type changed from Q to Qs.
    Existing patterns for CMS 330 W or CMS 530 W will be converted automatically to Qs.

Hardware-Requirements

Inverse Plating by CA

As with ikat plating, you can also determine the expanding of the technical rows for inverse plating by a CA.

The difference:
ii marking in the plating colors for the ikat plating
Example:

  • Plating color 1 and 2 for ikat plating
  • Plating color 3 and 4 for inverse plating

After Technical Processing:

Both Net Jacquard modules Net 1x3 are also available for adapted quantity of colors (yarn bridges).

  • Jacquard modules
    • Net 1x3"
    • Net 1x3, Restricted Float
  • For the Jacquard variants in the No. of colors section
    • continuously similar
    • minimum per row
    • suited (yarn bridges)

Knitting Time, Yarn Carrier Allocation and Yarn in Report (*.cfgx)

Report (cfgx file) contains data relevant for production as machine, run time of the fabric piece and yarn consumption.

  • starting with version 1.6
    The calculated knitting time in the cfgx file forms the basis for production planning
    • Specifications of the respective yarn carrier


Dimensioned shapes of GKS V. 2.3 are supported.
