Activating and Deactivating the Weft Yarn Presser Foot

Rail allocation for the use of weft yarn presser foot

We recommend to use the inner yarn carrier tracks for the weft yarn carriers with patterns having weft yarn and weft yarn presser feet.


Recommendations for the different types of machines:
ADF 530-32 W ADF 530-32 BW	Tracks 7 - 10
ADF 530-24 W ADF 830-24 W	Tracks 6 - 7
ADF 530-16 W ADF 530-16 BW	Tracks 4 - 5
: Due to the different angles of the yarn carrier bows it is necessary to keep larger parking distances.

Distances for activating and deactivating the weft yarn presser foot without using a weft yarn carrier

Weft yarn presser foot type 2 active
No weft yarn carrier


A	Positioning the yarn carrier for using the weft yarn presser foot in the following knitting row
1	Distance of the yarn carrier from fabric selvedge when activating the weft yarn presser foot - approx. 22 nic
2	Distance of the yarn carrier from fabric selvedge when deactivating the weft yarn presser foot - approx. 23 nic

Distances for activating and deactivating the weft yarn presser foot with using a weft yarn carrier

When using a weft yarn carrier with presser foot and following enclosing by stitches
via the ‘knitting' cam curve
Weft yarn carrier on inner tracks	34nic
Weft yarn carrier on outer tracks	43nic

via the ‘split' or 'transfer' cam curve
Weft yarn carrier on inner tracks	24nic
Weft yarn carrier on outer tracks	33nic
	: The needle selection via the 'Split' cam curve starts earlier regarding the needle selection via the 'Stitch' cam curve.

No yarn carrier may be parking in this area.
At the fabric selvedge and within the fabric, the weft yarn carrier is parked at first before all the other knitting yarn carriers are staggered.
: The yarn carrier staggering is done by YDopt.
If activating the weft yarn presser foot is necessary in the following knitting row, this will be included when parking the weft yarn carrier.

For the combination of inverse plating with active weft yarn presser foot, ESCI 50 with a default value is automatically assigned to the trailing yarn carrier when changing the plating colors between the systems.
