Creating patterns controlling the cast-off function via RS17

Create a new pattern:

    1
    Select File / New from the menu bar.
    -  or  -
    Click .
    2
    Enter a Pattern name.
    3
    Select the machine type and the desired setup type.
    4
    Select Basic pattern (pattern without shape) and Design Pattern.
    2. 5
    Set pattern size and select the Front stitch with transfer basic knitting mode.
    6
    Select start considering the cast-off function via RS17:

Machine with comb

Machine with belt take-down

Use Clamping:

The clamps are deactivated, i.e. the yarn carriers can not be brought into the clamp.

  • Result:
  • Casting-off can not be carried out.
  • Comb can not be used.

Use Clamping:

Machine works with clamping and cutting.
When this option is used all the yarn carriers must be brought into the clamp before casting-off the fabric.

  • In case of machines with comb the new piece is started with comb.
  • In case of machines with belt take-down knitting is carried out with residual yarn into the take-down.

Cast-off ON/OFF (RS17)

Each piece is cast-off as no control is performed via RS17.

All yarn carriers must be in the clamp at the end of the fabric.

Cast-off ON/OFF (RS17)

Cast-off can be controlled with the RS17. (Cast-off ON: RS17=0 /Cast-off OFF RS17=1) With the help of a Sintral instruction the piece counter is queried and with ST= 0 the RS17 is set to 0. This way all yarn carriers will be clamped and the fabric will be cast-off.

Sintral:

With a Sintral function, the start width of the new fabric piece is enabled through widening or casting-off. This selection is necessary with fully fashioned fabric. In case of fabric without shape this selection is also possible.
Restriction: In the yarn field it is not possible to move the comb thread and the draw thread to another side. The sides of the yarn carrier are firmly specified by the Sintral and cannot be changed in the yarn field.

Module:

Only to be used with constant fabric width.

: The side selection of the comb thread and the draw thread can be freely selected in the yarn field.

    7
    Select the start from Stoll with protection yarn / Standard / 1 System / without elastic thread / Transition loose row / Tubular.
    8
    Confirm the settings with Generate Design Pattern.
  1. The Symbol view [Basic] will be opened.

Settings in Configuration:

    1
    In the Pattern Parameters menu call up the Configuration dialog box.
    2
    Open the Comb, Clamping tab.
    3
    Under the Comb, Clamping section, the following functions are automatically selected, if Cast-off ON/OFF (RS17) was selected with the start.

Clamping at fabric end in the cast-off function (RS17=0)

If RS17=0, all yarn carriers are clamped at the fabric end before casting-off the fabric. If RS17=1, the clamping of the yarn carriers is skipped.

Sintral command:

Via the Sintral command RS17=1 IF #100=1 RS17=0 casting-off is coupled to the piece counter.

    4
    In case of machines with belt take-down, knitting-in Float and Lock_B [8-8] is automatically adjusted for CMS530 HP B.
    In the example, however, is used only clamping and cutting on the right side. Therefore, Float and Lock_B [0-8] was adjusted.
    5
    Confirm the settings with the OK button.

Call up Sintral function table:

    1
    The default Sintral function is automatically used for the CMS530HP_B: combthread_B.sin. With this Sintral function, the yarn carrier home position for the draw thread is on the left on track 1 and for picking-up after pressing-off on the right on track 8

Call up and allocation of Sintral functions: MC program / Sintral functions...

    2
    For all the following example patterns, the Sintral of a CMS502HP_B was used, where the draw thread is also on the right.
    Please, delete the Sintral function combtread_B.sin and load the Sintral function combthread_637_B.sin:


Modify the Stoll start:

    1
    Modify the inserted Stoll start.
    2
    Via the Module / Modul-Explorer of Pattern… menu open the the Start directory.
    3
    Open the Tubular technical container module double clicking.
    4
    Open the Tub_1sys_without_E and delete all the knitting rows after the net row.
    5
    Open the Tub_1sys_LR element and delete the knitting rows with rear stitch.
    6
    Save the elements and replace the start.

Drawing the pattern:

    1
    Create the basic pattern with the predefined basic module and knitting sequence.

Basic module:

The basic pattern is filled completely with this module.

Knitting sequence pattern (CA)

The knitting sequence is entered as CA over the entire pattern height

 

In the CA, the reference rows (blue) have no needle action. The module from the basic pattern is inserted.

Knitting sequence pattern end (CA)

The last two rows of the pattern are overwritten with this CA. It enables secure transferring for the protection rows.

    Check settings for stitch length

There are private NP values for Tech Knits patterns:

    2. 3
    Check settings for fabric take-down.

For a machine with belt take-down with the E7.2 gauge, the take-down value WB=3-0 is sufficient. A higher take-down value can damage the belt permanently.

Complete the pattern:

    1
    Switch to the Knitting areas tab and under Special fabric pieces activate Use yarn color.
    2
    In the edit box beside it enter the color number of the protection yarn # 205.
    The protection rows at the end of the fabric piece are knitted with protection yarn (residual yarn).
    3
    [not necessary, only if changes are needed after cutting-out shape] In the Steps of Processing toolbar call up the Cut-out shape.
    4
    [not necessary, only if changes are needed after expanding] Expand the pattern with the button of the Steps of Processing toolbar.
    5
    Start the technical processing with the icon.
  1. The query Generate MC Program appears.
    6
    Confirm the query with OK.
    7
    Call-up Sintral Check via the MC Program / Conduct Sintral Check... menu.
    - or -
    Click in the Steps of Processing toolbar.
