Terry Socks Knitting Machine
Working Principle
Programming: Specialized computer software is used to design sock styles, determining details such as size, pattern, and color combination. The designed program is then input into the machine’s control system.
Yarn Feeding: Raw materials like yarns are loaded onto the machine. The machine can automatically select the required type and quantity of yarn according to the preset instructions.
Knitting: Under the precise control of the computer control system, the knitting components of the machine, such as the needle bed, drive mechanism, and yarn feeding mechanism, work together to weave the yarn into the sock blank of terry socks according to the set pattern and stitch. The needles on the needle bed move up and down to control the interweaving of the yarn to form the loops and the basic structure of the socks.
Post-processing: After the socks are knitted, the machine can automatically perform some post-processing operations, such as cutting off the excess yarn and preliminarily shaping the socks.
Main Features
High Production Efficiency: Compared with traditional manual sock knitting or ordinary sock knitting machines, computerized terry socks knitting machines can produce socks quickly and continuously, often reaching a daily output of 200 to 300 pairs per machine.
Stable Product Quality: The machine’s operating parameters are precisely controllable, ensuring a high degree of consistency in the size, loop density, pattern, etc. of each pair of socks, reducing product quality differences and enhancing overall quality.
Strong Design Flexibility: It can quickly adjust the design program according to market demand and customer orders, producing various styles, patterns, colors and functional terry socks to achieve customized production.
High Degree of Automation: From yarn supply, knitting to some post-processing processes, it can be automatically completed, reducing manual operation links, reducing labor intensity, and also reducing problems caused by manual operation errors.
