Description of knitting machine
2.5 Control devices
2.5.2 Stop resistance
If the power consumption of the drive motor differs from a stored value, the
knitting machine is stopped. The reason for a higher power consumption
may, for example, be a sticky needle.
2.5.3 Shock stop
In the case of a shock on the needle bed, e.g. in the case of needle
breakage, the piezo-electric shock stop switches off the knitting machine.
The piezo-electric shock stop is located below the needle beds.
2.5.4 Needle detector
The needle detector (1) checks the height of the fabric in the needle area.

Needle detector
If needles are defective (e.g. latch breakage), there is a danger of the fabric
not being taken down downward and gathering in the needle area. The
machine will then stop automatically to prevent from a major damage.
