Engaging Rod
Engaging Rod
The carriage assembly, and therefore also knitting, is started and stopped with
the engaging rod. The engaging rod can be moved into three positions.
Smooth and jolt-free start-up
of the carriage
The path of the engaging rod from "0" to the production speed is subdivided in
32 stages. The 32 stages are evaluated using a logarithmic curve.
With the engaging rod half-way pulled-up, 16 percent of the final speed will be
reached. The final speed will be reached in the second half of the path with
increasing steps.
If the engaging rod is pulled upwards only somewhat, the carriage will start
very slowly and without jolting.
The knitting process can be observed better (stitch forming process,
switching of the intarsia yarn carriers, holding-down jack control)
After a yarn breakage: Tying in the yarns in the needles is easier.
If the engaging rod is pulled upwards fast, the carriage starts immediately.
